This video shows how to create the effect somewhat similar to the one that can be heard in Telephone and Umbrella.
Using the shuttle in Ardour you can control the playback speed. The positional sync source first has to be set to:
Then it’s possible to control the playback simply by dragging the shuttle. If you right-click you can set the max speed.
Play around with it!
You might have connected Zyn to play a sound for your midi-keyboard or a single midi-track. But did you know that it’s possible to handle different sounds on different channels, enabling you to map Zyn’s entire instrument bank for multichannel playback. Rosegarden by default has instrument channels that correspond to Zyn.
First you configure Zyn to handle different sounds
The interesting things in the picture are:
Load the desired instrument from the bank.
To load another instrument on a different channel step up the part number and load it from the bank.
It should be displayed as:
If you want to load more instruments just repeat the procedure.
Then you configure Rosgarden to map them
On each track choose the same play devise that is connected to Zyn. The instruments #1, #2 correspond to the same channels in Zyn, Ch 1, Ch 2.
If you want to get your Hydrogen drum tracks into Ardour, one way of doing it is to record the Hydrogen outputs. You can use either the stereo output or the track specific outputs. This example uses a stereo sampled drum kit that is exported into Ardour as mono track(s). This is done by using the left outputs and panning the channels fully to the left.
Recording individual outputs to separate tracks
Ardour inputs are connected to track specific outputs (track_out_1_kick, track_out_2_snare, track_out_8_crash). Each output is recorded on a separate mono track.
Recording several outputs to one track
Ardour input is connected to track specific outputs (track_out_2_snare, track _out_4_snare, track _out_5_snare). Each output is recorded on the same mono track.
Recording master output allowing volume adjustment
Ardour input is connected to master output (out_1). Output is recorded on the same mono track. By using the master output it’s possible to adjust the output volume. You can use solo (s) to export a single track or mute (m) for several.
