Hey!!!! The most short but also the most important video i was looking for!!!!!!!!! I was wondering how to use field recordings, instruments, etc, etc into the minilogue!!!! Have seen tons of videos and nothing... In just a few minutes you answered my questions in a simple, clear and objective way!!!!! Thank you very much!!! I´m following your channel now!!!!

Wait, so the Minilogue has an audio in socket but not my Minilogue XD?

I always knew Daniel Fisher was a skilled keyboard player. Didn't know he also plays guitar. If I didn't already know what you can do with any of these synths with external audio inputs, this demo would have been real informative.

I'm new to synths and I never knew it worked this way. Thought it was just an aux in. I get it now! thank to sweetwater.

Awesome you made this because i was watching the Roger Lynn interview with Mitch and i had a eureka moment and here i am. Thank you Daniel for your expertise!

Usually I just route other midi-capable instruments through my synth, with identical midi going to both devices simultaneously. This makes the synth's filters and effects trigger in sync with the notes from the other instrument. Optionally also run a sequence on the synth to do more interesting effects, but still synced up with whatever input is feeding into it.

Great post, cool sounds! But what does "Dry and processed" mean? I've got a Minibrute 2S, it's only got a 3.5 mm input jack. Will just any old 1/4 to 3.5 mm adapter work? Or do I have to be concerned about possibly damaging my synth with the wrong power amount going in? I'm a total newbie. Thanks!

@sweetwater

Hi ThinkerThunker. By dry and processed, I meant that you're either running the external instrument directly into the Aux In jack, or are first going into a preamp and/or effects. A 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter or cable will work just fine. Aux Inputs are typically expecting a high input level, so you're far more likely to underdrive the input than overdrive it (and musicians have be overloading synths' Aux Inputs since the Minimoog back in the 1970s). Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

Thanks a lot I appreciate all the advice. I was so confused on all things audio in on my korg.

An excellent analog synth for external instruments is the MS-20/mini with its External Signal Processor. It does track pitch..to the best of its abilities and has a bandpass filter, frequency to voltage converter, enveloper follower & Trigger Out which can be used to control the synth in various ways. Alison Goldfrapp used her voice to trigger the MS20 on 'Lovely Head' for a great effect. Another trick is to plug the MS20 into itself via the E.S.P. for screamy distortion.

Hi Bob. The Audio In jack, on synths that have them, are usually expecting a line-level signal or even a Eurorack audio signal (which is very hot). So it helps to have a mixer or a powerful Boost pedal to get your external audio source up to those levels. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

We are trying to run our electric guitar through our KORG Monologue, but having a really hard time getting sound from the guitar to come through. We are only able to get a faint sound from the guitar when we press & hold a key on the KORG keyboard, but it looks like we should be able to process/hear sound from the guitar straight through...? We have the guitar plugged into the Line IN on the KORG and an output cable going from Line OUT to an amp (we also tried going through a small mixing board but had the same issue) We messed with all of the dials, knobs and levers on the KORG (Filter/VCO/Gain/Resonance/mixer, etc), while strumming the guitar with really no improvement to hearing the guitar through the KORG.

Hi Alexandre, Ideally, you'd run the guitar through a good overdrive, distortion, or boost pedal to get the signal strong enough to run into the AUDIO IN jack. Then you can either send a MIDI Note On or send a +5v trigger to the GATE IN jack. (It "might" work by just plugging a cable into the GATE In with the other end going to nothing.) Be sure to set your Envelopes to stay open so that you can hear the guitar. Thanks for watching!

Hi Kaitlyn. The MP3 player is being used as the External Audio source going into the synth's External Audio In jack. This lets the pre-recorded music be processed by the synth's Filter and Amp. The MP3 player is substituting for the guitar, which was previously plugged into the External Audio In jack. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

I'm curious how you could recreate something like the prophet X routing something like Kontakt orchestra samples out of your audio interface and into a synth. Could you get a gate signal from kontakt to somehow trigger the synths envelopes as you play so it would sound natural like the samples were part of the synth?

@sweetwater

5 жыл бұрын

Hi MiM. Triggering the synth is the easy part. The easiest way would be via MIDI, but a Gate would work as well if your controller keyboard sent a Gate. The much bigger issue would be polyphony. It would be incredibly difficult to somehow get each note from Kontakt into a separate synthesizer, such that each note had its own Filter (with its own Filter Envelope) and Amp (with its own Amp Envelope). If you don't do that, you'll basically have a polyphonic synth (Kontakt in this case) with all of its simultaneous notes going to the same Filter (with a single Filter Envelope) then all going on to the same Amp (with its single Amp Envelope). It would then be much more like a Paraphonic synth than a Polyphonic synth.

@MadelnMachines

5 жыл бұрын

@@sweetwater Yes that's true. I'm kind of a bit uncertain of how paraphonic works differently. Not in theory, but in reality. I get that each voice doesn't have it's own filter or envelopes etc but since all the filters and envelopes are just copies of each other in a polyphonic synth what practical difference does it make? If you press a chord with all the notes at the same time would it make a difference? If you staggered the notes then would the new note fail to retrigger the envelope resulting in the latter notes having a shorter sound or be filtered in a different way (if there's an envelope modulated filter)? Thanks

Hi again MIM, It's that, every time you hit a new note, all other notes that were currently sounding would get the same Filter and Amp effects triggered again.

can you press any key just to play the entire song from the mp3 player thought the minilogue (without keeping a key pressed) and use the filter?

@sweetwater

4 жыл бұрын

Hi tasss550. The reason you need to press a key is because the mp3 is going into the Mixer, then Filter, and finally the Amp. The Amp is, by design, set to be silent unless the Amp EG (Envelope Generator) is pushing it above silence. (If it didn't do this you'd never be able to make a note stop.) So... the answer is: You always have to have the Amp EG up in order to hear any sound, whether it's the oscillators, noise, or an external mp3. Some synths have a Sustain Pedal jack that holds the Amp EG at the Sustain level, and some synths have a "Drone" switch that keeps the Amp EG locked on. The Minilogue has neither so you'll have to keep a key held if you want to hear the mp3 sound. Hope that helps. -_Daniel_

I connected a Roland jdxi (audio out) into a MicroKorgS (audio in), with speaker connected to the Korg. When I hit the keys on the Roland, the signal just goes thru the Korg and out the speaker. I didn't have to kit any key on the Korg. I assume this is because the Korg has a "global" INPUT option for "Audio In - Thru" set to ON. I didn't try it with Audio In Thru set to OFF. I'm a total newbie and didn't realize I had to press a key on the Korg, to hear the Roland. The Audio In Thru setting is nice. I can play the Roland thru the Korg and play the Korg simultaneously while not affecting the Roland sounds. Is this typically how this stuff works?

It's a lot more simple on that synth, versus, say, my matrixBrute for which I haven't been able to get a peep from the audio input source.

Hi Tommy, the1/8" stereo EXTERNAL IN jack on the GAIA doesn't feed the synthesizer components. Instead it was designed to allow background audio to pass through to the OUTPUT jacks all the time. It does have a useful Center Cancel feature though, which helps to remove vocals from pre-recorded songs. Thanks for watching!

Why not just tape down the key?

Hi Owen. There's a company out there that sells metal weights (in various colors) that are designed to hold down one key. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

Does a Cry baby pedal have enough juice to push the signal thru?

This sound like Perturbator

Did not know that guy but shit is goood

A lot of chatter and a little game!

So informative, thank you! I'm trying to connect my mic to my korg minilogue - I currently have it running thru my fx pedal + looper straight into the audio in of the synth + output of synth into mixer (USB into computer). When I press a key, I faintly hear my voice. I have the mixer and fx pedal set to line in and phantom power - am i missing something?

Hi tapue set xl. The Audio In jack, on synths that have them, are usually expecting a line-level signal or even a Eurorack audio signal (which is very hot). So it helps to have a mixer or a powerful Boost pedal to get your external audio source up to those levels. Thanks for watching! -Daniel

@@sweetwater Thank you for this! I currently have an m-audio m-track duo mixer - would you recommend that I plug the mic into the mixer and then connect that to the synth? if so, how could i then record on my computer?
