Here is a really nice guitar synth setup using the Analogue Systems rs35 module along with 5 other AS modules. The rs35 module does a remarkable job of turning the guitar’s pitch into CV (control-voltage). There is no MIDI involved in this setup. The rs35 module is a frequency (or pitch) to voltage converter. It can turn virtually any sound source into “1 volts per octave” allowing you to control an analog synthesizer. Roger Cordell plays a Strat, first into a Barber Electronics tonepress compressor pedal for improved sustain. The output of the tonepress goes to the low pass filter section of the AS rs110 Multimode filter, which rolls off the higher frequencies. This improves the tracking of the rs35. From there we run the audio into the rs35 ‘Frequency In’. The rs35′s voltage out goes to the rs95 voltage controlled oscillator. We’re using various modules to alter the oscillator sound including the rs100 Low Pass filter, the rs120 Comb Filter, and the rs290 voltage controlled digital delay/sampler. Finally, here is a practical, fairly easy way to play your analog synthesizer with a guitar. Rad!
