Modular tutorials

[roy thinnes]

as the title says.
because the provided Modular2 tutorials are out-dated and buggy, I composed some general notes on the Modular Synth and some tutorials:
tut01-basic mono patch
tut02-basic poly patch
tut03-basic Drum OSC patch
tut04-basic seq patch (async)
tut05-PS32 seq remote
tut06-basic seq patch (sync)
tut07-basic CWM morph patch
tut08-Modular as Fx device
tut09-subtractive synthesis basics
tut10-additive synthesis basics
tut11-FM synthesis basics
tut12-AM + RingMod synthesis basics
tut13-Phase modulation basics
tut14-KarplusStrong synthesis basics
tut15-Vector synthesis basics

Roy, without a doubt, you are THE MAN!
Thanks so much for all your contributions to the modular community. Been meaning to do something like this for years, but you actually got round to doing it! Thanks again,
Ben

[roy thinnes]

thanks for your replies!
widy - corrected it, thanks for the hint
Ben - actually, you’re the man because your site made me to be interested in Modular!

[dawman]

These are awesome Roy, thanks so much.
Is there a way I can migrate these to my DAW?
Or are they permanantly saddled to your site?
I try to copy them and cannot.
I should just roll my rack over to the Internet PC so I don't have to dash across the room maybe.

Regardless, these are invaluable to eveyone......

Thanks Again.

Jimmy, after you copied the patches, they are located in your Scope folder:
Scope/Devices/Modular2/Tutorials/CwmTutorials
(forgot to mention this small matter )

The scope community is very special indeed. Thank you all and thank you roy for all of your contributions. Amazing.

Roy,

Thanks so much for these - it is greatly appreciated.

Maybe I can finally break the barrier I have encountered in getting past first base with this stuff

Point 6) Note 1 could be expanded with the following info courtesy of Sharcs sage wisdom.

I'm still getting this display bug in my modular shell where all of the drop down folder menus are missing. So I'm still having to load from the file explorer.

[quote=sharc]
That sounds like a problem with your cset file. If you load cset.ini (Scope\App\Bin) with Notepad and scroll down to the [StaticPath] section. Here there should be an entry for Modular (ie. Modular=c:\Scope\Modular2 Modules) if you enter the correct path (the folder your modular modules are in) here and save the Cset file the modular menu bar should should work next time you load Scope. Make sure you make a backup copy of the cset.ini file before editing it though, in case anything goes wrong.

Grappa........I share your sentiment.
You'd think from the decades of classical training that fatigue would be non existant, but the first time I scratch my head or rub my eyes on these DAW related issues, I give up.
I would love to be able to use this stuff live, and it looks like this is a big step in that direction.
It's totally Moron Proof.............

irrelevance,
I think we speak of two different things:
-I was referring to a problem which is (I think) a problem of the graphic card: from time to time I can’t see the drop down folder menus just because the graphic card don’t like that the modular window is on the right monitor. so I close that window, draw it to the left monitor and voilá, after opening it again folder menus are back.
-you and sharc talk about the "wrong" location of the modules on the hd. in a rare situation where you installed Scope on another drive than the module folders are, Scope does not know where it should look for them. so the drop down folder menus cannot be seen.
btw the install.ini path of the modules is always by default Modules=x:\Scope\Devices\ModularNew\SDK, where x is the drive where Scope is installed.
I simply don’t get it why it can happen that the wrong drive letter is in the install.ini

anyway, to err is human. I updated the relevant section.

[erminardi]

whoa!
Nice move mate
I like your work for PlanetZ community a lot, thanks, very thanks!

[grappa]

Roy,

Having a spot of bother loading a couple of these tutorial patches into Scope v5 - I get a fatal error with Scope.exe message when loading the basic poly and one of the other patches (sorry can't remeber which one at the mo).

Any one else confirm?

Si

[roy thinnes]

hi grappa,
since there had been reports of hidden cabelling and other unconveniences, I gave up on installing v5.
I’m in when it’s ready

[grappa]

Probably a wise move

I'll have a go at building them from your diagram anyway!

That page is exactly what i was looking for, thanks

Consider it bookmarked

Edit* In fact.. wow! The whole site looks great

[iSiStOy]

Useful examples to give a try for sure. Well that's good news, as I have my evening for music
Would be great to see this on scopedia.net and also many other links to CWmodular.org

The whole point of a wikipedia is that you can add things like this yourself. Don't even need to create an account if you don't want to.
I started this page - clearly lots more to do....
