Can anyone help me understand this. I create an audio track, flip the rack and take a cable from the insert fx on the back into Radical Piano. I then can use Radical Piano as an effects unit on my guitar...resonance, EQ etc.
When I do the same with eg. Parsec I get nuthin'. Just dry guitar signal.
What's the difference? Or what am I missing?


Thanks

In Parsec, you have to select "Audio in" as a modifier.
You'll have to hold down a key for Parsec to follow along. :)

Also try different partials and partial octave settings. As well as different shift/lag positions on the modifiers. Not every combination works for every sound. It can be inaudible.

:D

Now if you don't want to hold down notes but want that to happen automatically.. use Bitspeek!

Create a Spider Audio and duplicate your source signal, feed a copy into Bitspeek, let it do its thing and route Bitspeek's gate and note cv out into Parsec like so:

With Bitspeek YMMV on polyphonic instruments but I'm sure you'll get something nice anyways :)
