Anyone having experience with external synths? |
 |
For the first time in my life I don't have a clue how to handle this with madtracker.
Finally got myself a nice analogue synth with midi controls and all that stuff.
Basicly what I want to do is to control by sending midi commands to it (that works) and get the output as an audio sample.
The built in madtracker recorder is useless for that purpose. So basicly I need a tool/mod/plugin/vst or whathever to sample the outputs of my synth to nicely fit into my madtracker as one instrument. This has been done before in the good old days, whole solos have been recorded this way.
So the idea is:
1. make the loop on the tracker and send these to the synth
or
Play together with the song by hand.
2. record the output of the synth simultaniously so that i get a perfect sample that fits in nicely on to the pattern (or more patterns).
3. Apply any additional effects such as delay panning or anything of liking on the resulting track
I tried external recording but you will never get a perfect synchronous sample.
Normaly I do synths with vst's but this particular synth cannot be defeated by vst's 
The solution is propably very simple but I just don't have experience with this particular combo of instrumentation/software.
Thanks in advance |

Sound like you have got yourself a nice synth, what kind is it, I have a Roland JP 8000 at home which is like a holy relic for me, It doesn't have a very phat or brassy sound, but it is awesome for effects and strings and those space like pads. Anyway the times I sampled my synth lately was with Chainer. It is a VST chain host to run several vst's at the same time, but however you can run an input through your mic in on your pc or your soundcard. so what you need to do is to do your stuff on Madtracker and when finnished, run chainer and chose insert input and then record the sound. The only thing is you have to use the asio driver for your soundcard in both Madtracker and Chainer since Asio4all will only let you run one sound scource at the time. you can find Chainer at www.kvraudio.com. Chainer is a trip, you can run many synths and effects together and control it with your midi keyboard, for example download TAL's (Togu Audio Line) Vocoder and if you have a mixer then run your synth together with a mic, pan the synth left and the mic right (or opposite) then in chainer at the first chain chose insert input and the next load in TAL vocoder, just activate it in the vst on input on and you are singing those daft punk songs or whatever you want.

I knew there was a solution thanks for the great info.
The synth is a homebuild version pretty much like the TS|works mercury-1 vst but since its analogue, it gives a much deeper fatter bassline. Its sound is kinda between mogue prodigy and roland sh-101. Exactly the multi purpose I was looking for.
If I get better at electronics I will build a superwave generator as well but for the time being Ill stick to the superwave-p8 plugin or I will buy a real JP-8000 when I get richer  |
