I've not seen anyone using the Volca Modular like this before so I thought I'd do a quick video on it. A shoutout to @ChrisLodyMusic for keeping me inspired on the instrument and @loopop for his videos about the Make Noise Maths module which inspired this technique.
My narration was a bit muddled in this video so here's a few technical corrections: Technically the "very simple" envelope follower patching the audio directly to the Low Pass Gate Control Input is more a cross modulation / Amplitude Modulation patch than a real "envelope" follower but it has a similar effect in this case. The C knob rather than actually adjusting the trigger threshold, is really adjusting the audio volume going to the gate input of Function 1 which again has a similar effect. Extra corrections for clarity: "CV input output" should be "CV Input Audio out", and "Function 1 Release Positive Input" should be "Function 1 Positive Output". Clarified patch notes as below:
Basic External Audio Triggered Envelope follower patch:
Audio input into CV In Jack
CV In Audio Out to Utility B In
Utility a+bxc to FN1 Gate In
Utility a-bxc to FN1 + Out
Swap Utility outs for different flavour / balance. Utility C Knob controls trigger threshold for FN1 (by changing the volume of the external audio). Attack and Release work as usual.
Enjoy and have fun with it!
