A4 sound instead of filter

I have setup my audio routing so that the AF comes after the mixer and before the monitors. The idea is to use the FX and filtering on the overall mix.

I setup a track to have all the steps triggered.

I have Osc1 set to L int and Osc2 to R int.

Instead of being able to filter the mix, I am getting a pulsing sound.

What epic noob thing am I doing wrong?

It’s a shame we have to lose a track for this. :frowning: I’ll have to rethink some songs to make it all work.

Are the sub oscillators off?

Are you using trigs to trigger the AMP envelopes to open?

Also keep in mind that you’ll be summing the stereo mix to mono, as one A4 voice is still a mono signal path.
To filter a stereo mix, use 1 track for L, and another track for R. Pan them as such, and use Performance macros to adjust both tracks’ filter parameters concurrently.

you’ll have to lose two if you want a stereo filter - each voice is mono up to the pan

and Adam is right, you need to ‘open’ the VCA, one way or another (infinite release Amp or Note Length)

edit : quick edits above by the time I typed the same ; )

Thank you both. It all fixed everything. I accidentally started with a track with all sorts of shenanigans… It is much easier if you start by clearing out the FX track and the Tracks you intend to use.

Thanks again.

The best if you send a sustained note so the envelopes wont retrigger time to time

I suggest one of the stylest 3rd hand solutions : tape case
