(Ok, so I’m not certain this would be feasible, as my understanding of CV routing is admittedly fairly limited. Any comment likely to enlighten me will be warmly welcomed.)
Here’s the idea.
Seeing as :
a) the AH ‘control in’ ports can be configured to accept expression pedals;
b) expression pedals basically sit in a loop, filtering a control voltage sent from the device they are meant to control (hence the use of a TRS cable); and
c) the maximum and minimum voltage values handled by the AH are customizable…
It doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to think the “control in” ports could be used as straight-up “CV outs” (assignable as LFO and envelope destinations).
If possible, that would be positively amazing.
It would wildly broaden the usability of this already fantastic machine.
Doesn’t seem possible. Maybe I’m wrong but as far as I understand it expression pedals receive fixed voltage and send back another voltage modified by their resistor…
AH doesn’t seem to send modulated voltage.
I only want one thing : A DEDICATED MIDI MESSAGE FOR TRIGGER!!!
Preferably any note on AH midi channel.
That’s exactly my point: if you go to ‘parameters > control in > control in A (or B) > control mode “CV”’, you are able to set the “CV zero level” and “CV max level”.
I’m thinking that if it can be modified manually, then can likely be modulated.
Would love the LFO to reset/trigger on MIDI Start
An inverse of the sawtooth - the current “ramp” is the right direction, but there is a gap of 0 before the next ramp. Maybe I’m missing something?
One feature req here: please update AH and let MIDI notes through, instead of just tempo information. That way any AH plus an iPhone or iPad would turn into a full fledged standalone synth, with the added bonus of analogue distortion and such. Thank you!
Yeah, Sezare56 suggested this a few months ago; it’s a stellar idea, and provided you’ve got a device equipped with the Elektron sequencer linked to your AH, I reckon it would let you easily align/reset the LFO to transport like you want (say, using a conditional [1st] trigless trig on the first step).
…of course, it would let you do much MUCH more than that.
its been discussed elsewhere and referred to above some time ago but i’d like to see the current state saved (not an autosave preset) and loaded after a power off/on
yes it reloads the preset, yes i could remember to save the preset before turning it off but other Elektron boxes remember their last state and it would be nice to align the AH’s behaviour with that
Neither will be put on it, it’s an analogue drive/distortion with filter, envelope and LFO. It doesn’t have the required sample buffer or DSP for things like freeze or beat repeat.
I just got the Analog Heat MK2 recently and it’s mostly very cool, except one thing:
Question: Why can’t the envelope be triggered with a midi note message? Turns out this is a BIG thing to leave out.
CV works for this in footswitch mode, but the added complexity needed to enable that is significant. This should be so simple and is so common elsewhere. I’d rather use CV for something interesting.
At this point I just want to know why?! Hard to believe it could be a technical limitation or a design philosophy.
Can we change the button color to our own choice? In startup menu the key test shows all colors are available. That would be pretty damned aesthetically pleasing. I do not love the yellow. Also, led dimming.
