'Pumping'

[somethingpinkie]

If you hold down one note, I want it to have a 'pumping' effect (like pulsing a long with the beat of my song). How can I do this live on my M3?

[kanthos]

Pumping is done by an LFO of some sort, but without you saying what you want to use LFO to modulate (pitch = vibrato, volume = tremolo, odds are you want one of those), we can't direct you further.

arpeggiator is one way, another is to sync slicer/delay type of fx to midi tempo.

I don't want tremolo or vibrato. I want to be able to hold one note down and it play 2 semi quavers of the same note.

Is this possible?

[kanthos]

Should've said that from the start then The more you can describe your problem, the easier it is for someone to help.

What you want is an arpeggiator; on the M3, that takes the form of Karma, which is much more advanced than an arpeggiator (which means it's more powerful but harder to use). I don't have an M3 myself, so I can't be any more help here, but that's what you want to look at.

I think what you may be referring to is called 'ducking' which is achieved with sidechain compression and is very popular in dance and trance music. Do a search for sidechain compression with the M3 on youtube to see how to do it, or check out this thread on karma-labs http://www.karma-lab.com/forum/showthre ... =sidechain

try to program volume as a function to aftertouch limiting lower as 111 and upper limit as 127

[somethingpinkie]

Great! I'll try that!

Do you mean within Karma??

[kanthos]

No, that's part of the settings for the program you want to be altered in that way.
