Circuit style dual LP/HP filters on selected tracks
I’m trying to make a Circuit style dual filter that only affects my two first tracks (drums and bass). I’ve managed to do it by creating a processor rack with required modules and connecting outputs of the above tracks on main track to its input and then routed that to master. That’s worked fine but I realised that my sends to A and B aux effects aren’t affecting those two tracks anymore.
Any ideas? Maybe there’s a better way of doing all this, sorry I’m still finding routing on the main rack rather counter intuitive. Cheers

What is a Circuit style dual filter?
From what I can see you could place your processor rack and input mixer on the last track, route the drum and bass shapers to that track's mixer and only place a control knob on the Main mixer. Saves space and IMHO wouldn't bypass the A and B sends.
Also remember that A and B sends are "post fader".
Thanks @rs2000
Novation Circuit has a master filter knob. It is a -64 +64 bipolar thing where 0 to 64 is HPF and 0 to -64 LPF. I like it’s duplicity because of finite number of controls on any controller but also as a rhythm section fader while mixing live. Circuit has it on the whole mix though but I sometimes like noodling on a synth or something when rhythm section is on a filter break ;)
Ah OK, that typical 'DJ style filter' 😉
Haha, yeah, I didn’t want to say it!
Still, as far as live performance is concerned nothing beats quick and easy! Namely: Turnado, Korg Kaoss etc.
True. I'll keep my Kaoss pads. Maybe forever.
Looking at the patch
i usually have the shaper in front of the filter
to make it sound more „analog“
shaper after filter is more brutal
why are you trying to use this as aux return?
use it on the ch or master ch or both
Cool man! Saw it. Sounds great I did make one only using 2 filter modules and a knob. I see yours being much more complex. What are the benefits?
BTW I’m gonna have to start watching some tutorials as I haven’t got a clue about some of the wrapping I’m seeing in some patches! ;)
@supadom I think the benefit is that we can see @Gravitas' one on patchstorage 😁
BTW, this is my current version used in Koshiba's sister:
Neither do I like them hence my current state of Drambo I'm a short attention span kind of guy when it comes to music. I like working fast being when writing song as well as building physical stuff. That’s why I like Drambo and that’s why when stuff gets overly complex I need to leave the house and go for a bike ride or something. Screen starter tiring my brain and especially now in lockdown I value social music creation 10 times over.
I’m also getting Frustrated with the perpetual bags and stuff not working between apps which is always in the background. Also there is always something to wait for to make things perfect. Loopy Pro, looper in Drambo etc etc. I’ve been waiting for things to happen on iOS for the last 10 years and despite many horizon climbs it never quite lands where it should. Ah well.
If I can’t thing of anything
i make a basic beat bd, snare, huh, claps whatever
then
I type in note c or some chord on first step swipe to the right to extend it over the whole pattern choose the arpeggiator and the midi humanizer and some au and see where it takes me. Try this with sunrizer
gets u something usable in 5 minutes 😏
now let’s play with random and transpose step conditions 🤩
i can be very quick in drambo 😁
I don’t know sometimes it’s interesting to do things likel chord arp chord arp
for the reason I would have never played that like that
kind of like set up a set of rules and then say surprise me ...
it gets interesting when u play around with step conditions, probability, and transpose :)
lets modulate some arp parameters on top and it sings opera until the cows come home
btw. if you modulate unisono detune u can switch from bass sound to strings like things
some things that I find musical usual are very simple to do in Drambo :)
I only used it for percussions as variations creator until 2 weeks ago or so
the idea to us it as tonal compositional tool hasn't come to me before lol
what do you mean?serial music? Schönberg and Bartok and stuff of the classics I find has interesting thoughts behind it but hm I cant connect with the output (but that's just my taste)
but If u take modern things like basic channel thats very much my taste,
its kind of a similar go at music?
i find this super funky
listen on good headphones or good monitors
