The rich kids midi chords have 8 notes when the octaves come in. That’s more voices than the Tim Henson archetype can do. I’m not sure if you could run 2 archetypes in an effect chain or something but Nectar has 8 voices. That’s what Tim used in the original Rich Kids recording.

It would murder the CPU, but I don't see why you couldn't route your guitar into 2 separate audio tracks with an instance of archetype on each, have 2 midi tracks with 4 voices each, one routed to each multivoicer. Maybe in the second instance turn the original guitar voice to 0 so that you're not doubling up on those notes.

So what I’m getting from this is that before Tim makes his Polyphia riffs, he makes Lofi chords that belong on lofi beats to study to

@@roblosh8417 Yup, I do think lofi beats are just the beginning of a jazz renaissance tbh. Many jazz musicians like Jacob Collier, Cory Henry, etc. are now breaking into more mainstream audiences. Not to mention, I've been hearing a lot of jazz harmony in some trap/edm music. Even some mainstream jazz fusion songs like "Leave the Door Open" have topped the charts. With this, I believe this more advanced harmonic language is something we naturally just search for, and will always eventually receive.

The creativity this gives is just endless

Anybody can explain what is the midi audio 2 track for? Does it affect the final tone?

@dutchdykefinger

2 жыл бұрын

yes i think i can. that "midi audio 2" track is basically the first track, but in midi notes, his software can appearantly keytrack audio signals and automate a midi output you'd otherwise have to do yourself. (like mentioned with the piano) but how you get the track is neither here nor there for explaining its function. its function is the following: the midi track is used as a modulation signal for the vocoder, tells the vocoder what frequencies to harmonize at the 2nd guitar recording he punches in, is the carrier signal that goes into the vocoder. usually a vocoder modulation signal needs to be a pretty harsh, dry oscillator that's devoid of timbre and note stops to really work well as an opening gate for frequencies when you feed it, so using the guitar track itself for the modulation usually yields poor results. you want the notes, but not really much of the characteristics of it basically, that's why he's stretching out the notes on the editing, to make sure the vocoder gates open up nicely on the desired frequencies without of intricate phrasing, just open sustained chords with major chord changes in there and he uses the midi option in the plugin, which means he uses the notes on that midi track to send them off to a built-in oscillator inside the vocoder plugin to be used as a modulation signal instead of an external audio signal, for all intents and purposes it's the same as setting up a simple oscillator and feeding that as audio modulation signal. on the sped up editing part you see he uses a softsynth to edit the notes on the piano roll, gotta be able to hear it there to make sure they are alright. but after he's done, he sends the notes to the vocoder, so the softsynth should no longer be audible and taken off, and it's merely a modulation signal for the vocoder from that point onward. so yes, and no , depends on what you mean yes it does affect the final tone, since it controls the vocoder that ultimately gives you the result. but the midi track is not supposed to produce any sound on itself after you route it away, it controls how whatever you put on the carrier input of the vocoder comes out. if nothing comes in on the carrier, nothing comes out, even if the modulation track plays
