SENDING PROGRAMS TO THE HARMONIZER
Once you’ve constructed a program in VSigfile, you’ll want to send it to the
Harmonizer so that it can be run. This is accomplished by selecting the Send
command under the Midi menu. Make sure that the Harmonizer is in some area
other than the Patch Editor area when you Send, lest errors occur! Be warned:
the program running on the currently displayed DSP will be “bumped out” by the program you Send! Save
any changes before you Send!
→ Your computer must be communicating with the Harmonizer for this to work! See Communications on page 16.
TUTORIAL 1 -A SIMPLE PROGRAM
We can couple our new found knowledge of VSigfile with the material we learned in the General Principles
Chapter to create a simple, but meaningful, program. We’ll create a modulating filter.
To begin, start with a clean slate by pressing the
button. You should see a
work area that looks like the one shown to the right. The green “in1 >” and
“in2 >” on the left represent the inputs 1 and 2 on the DSP that will eventually
run the program
(we’ll learn how to do quad programs for Orville later, but the idea is the same).
Similarly, the green “> out1” and “> out2” on the right represent the outputs 1
and 2 on the DSP that will eventually run the program. The blue “1, 2, 3, and
4” on the left represent the “global inputs” (these only have meaning for Orville’s dual DSPs,
and we’ll learn about them in “Inter-DSP Communication” on page 56)
. The pink “1” on the right
represents the first userobject input on the head module. Recall that the
userobject outputs of modules are connected to the head module so that their
menu pages will appear in the
PARAMETER area.
To create a “modulating filter” program, we’ll
need just two modules: an LFO (low frequency oscillator)
module and a modfilter module. Go ahead
and add these modules to the program by using
the Add Module command from the Edit menu.
You’ll find the LFO module in the “Oscillator”
group and the modfilter module in the
“Filter” group.
