Members baranger1 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2010 Thanks for the great comments everybody and thanks for taking the time to watch the video! We as electric guitarist have so much to say. Its big fun to push the boundaries of what our instrument can do and what people think it can do. Electric guitar has NO limits!

Members Lou Speed Posted December 1, 2010 Members Share Posted December 1, 2010 not helping my microsynth gas!!! Seriously. I never had much interest in the microsynth until I started watching these videos and now I think I need one. Bill, your videos never cease to amaze but please stop using the microsynth in your videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nakedzen Posted December 1, 2010 Members Share Posted December 1, 2010 Sounds great as always! I'm guessing you'll need a 1/4"->XLR cord to plug your guitar to the V256? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LowWoods Posted December 1, 2010 Members Share Posted December 1, 2010 Please start making the Micro Synth w/ presets - like the POG2. I will then buy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chaos Realms Posted December 1, 2010 Members Share Posted December 1, 2010 Sounds great as always! I'm guessing you'll need a 1/4"->XLR cord to plug your guitar to the V256?Yeah, 1/4" to XLR male for the input, and another XLR female to 1/4" for the output if you want to go into some more pedals (yes). Some of the settings also require a volume boost when going in, which can be dirt, compressor or clean boost. It's a really great box, and autotune is just the beginning of what it's capable of. The drone and robovox settings are really cool, great for ambient sitar-like stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had much interest in the microsynth until I started watching these videos and now I think I need one. Bill, your videos never cease to amaze but please stop using the microsynth in your videos. They're amazing. I used them all over albums for "filler sounds" and it sounds way more organic than even some analog synths. I used to always have one and toured with it, but needed quick money, so.....

Members sommy Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Great video as always, but I'm confused -- I always thought that the Microsynth DID have an oscillator for the square wave sound. Is it just a fuzz? Shows what I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baranger1 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 A 1/4 inch jacks on the V256 is for guitar or another instrument.This allows the microphone input to modulate the guitar signal using the vocoder section of the unit.To access the pitch correction/gliss and drone effects you need to plug your guitar into the mic XLR jack.I do this using 1/4 to XLR adapters which you can find on eBay.You can also wire your own connectors which is even a better idea, but the adapters work fine.why are there instrument tele jacks on the v256 ?both in and out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baranger1 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 sommy The Micro Synth does not have oscillators.The voice section is basically a flip flop octave divider-clean guitar- octave fuzz and straight fuzz.Basically its starting with a bright full frequency square wave then filtering down using the filter section to create other wave sounds. That is exactly how the older subtractive synthesizers did it.The lucky man sound was a Big Muff Square wave filtered down using the tone control. Filtering down the square wave rounds off the square edges and produces something more like a sine wave.The Big Muff is not an exact square wave but real close.The picture below is a almost square wave and a sine wave.You can see rounding off the hard edges of the square wave takes away the bright harmonics and slowly shapes it into a more mellow sine wave.

Members Agreed Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Amazing sounds as always, but I would contest that the number of sounds available from an analog synth is technically finite, just immense. Because I don't have a soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sad Darwin Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 When you look down at your pedal board what you are seeing is really the building blocks of a modular synthesizer.PS, I love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's the other way around...the guitar input tunes the signal going into the microphone jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baranger1 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Chaos Yes exactly!The microphone merely modulates or superimposes what your voice is saying into of whatever notes or chords pitches you play.I guess for lack of better words it molds your words or speech onto whatever you play.You are right about doing the drone things with a guitar plugged into the microphone input. That is very cool! Actually, it's the other way around...the guitar input tunes the signal going into the microphone jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sommy Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Actually, it's the other way around...the guitar input tunes the signal going into the microphone jack. The guitar (carrier signal) is modulated by the formant frequencies of your voice (the vocoder portion), which are isolated from the microphone input by a series of bandpass filters.
