thetonester Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 hi all…was wondering if it is possible to do the following with the inbuilt expression pedal. i have a 3 note generator that i want the pedal to gradually raise the level of each note across the swing of the pedal. eg..have Osc1 level go from 0 to 10 in volume from 0 to 30 of the pedal then from 30 to 60 start to bring in Osc 2 level from 0 to 10…then from 60 to 90 bring up Osc3 level from 0 to 10 so each note of a chord can be brought in one at a time until around 90pc of the pedal each note is sounding full…i want to simulate a synth droning in the back ground…listen to the verses of Australian band Icehouse great song We can get together on youtube and you will hear what i mean…any idea if this can be done?

Hi, You seem to know what you want to achieve - why not give it a go? You can assign 64 controllers per preset, simply assign and modify each to suit. If it works great, if not then you will know. I seem to remember seeing a preset where every footswitch played a different chord with the synth modules. Check the Templates or CustomTone for synth patches to see how they work. EDIT: I think for what you are wanting to do, you would be better off using footswiches assigned to chords as pads like the Icehouse track. You can assign the separate oscillators to work with the expression pedal going from zero to full on the level, but I cannot immediately see a way for them to pick up at different points in the travel of the pedal. Need to dig deeper! O.K. here's an example of using footswitches to do the synth part - The guy has freebie presets on CustomTone: Hope this helps/makes sense.

brue58ski Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Mr Freman has a patch pack that does a synth thing very well. Different footswitches for different chords. I'm assuming you could use the EXP pedal to control things. It's called the Synth Pack https://fremenpresets.com/downloads/helix-synthpads-tonematches/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
