well. the tuba, string, arpeggiator and straight sounds all play together nicely now.
allpass filter on the tuba, inverter on the strings.
arpeggiator and straight sounds all got buffered, to avoid mixing problems
and to be able to give them separate jack outs if i feel like it. we'll see.
my first plan was to have two switches - between Straight/Tuba/String for the A voice, and between Straight and Arpeggiator for B. i changed my mind about that last one.
while testing everything (aka noodling for hours without actually soldering) i decided i wanted to be able to blend in the arpeggiator with it's own volume knob. so now the final mixing section would look like this:
the filter switch for A + A volume
B straight volume
B arpeggiator volume
Master volume.
the 4 octave mixing knobs will work for both B sounds at the same time, but they actually seem to complement one another nicely that way. maybe it's just me getting used to the limitations of the instrument - and actually starting to like them.
only thing i still want to try is to add a Q control on the tuba and string section.
since the resonant frequencies of the filters are fixed (and so is the alpass filter f on the tuba, so there) i'm not sure if it will add a lot to what i have. will have to hear it and see what it does, and if it's interesting enough of an effect to merit extra pots.
the second LFO for the gapper on the Arpegg is getting switchable caps i think. i really like it when it's driven high up the audio range, but the slow chopping tremolo effect is nice as well.. think extra switch. gon' be funki.
dus berijden, die blokgolf!
