Serge VCS as a Subharmonic Generator
Published on Sep 27, 2012 by GoldenCardiganCult
"Here is a quick improv of a sketch I have been working on. This will eventually get multi-tracked and re-edited, but for now I have just made a quick live recording.
The main reason I wanted to upload this is to show how the Serge VCS can be used as a Subharmonic Generator.
I have two main sequences running from Ableton. The bass line and the arpeggio melody. The VCS is being driven by the VCO providing the melody line. All percussive elements are being produced by my "Terminal Glitch 3" Reaktor ensemble.
A pulse wave is taken from the VCO and patched into the Trigger input (not the audio in) and the AC output is sent to the mixer. Adjusting the Rise and Fall times will vary the divison of the sub-harmonic.
I am then modulating the Rise and Fall times with an LFO and the arpeggio's gate signal, both are being controlled by the Joystick via two VCA's. The X axis is controlling the LFO and the Y axis the gate signal.
A big thanks to Ken Stone for making these Serge modules available. I am still amazed by all the different functions the Serge VCS is capable of."
