Oscillator question

[Bellyheart]

I have three pedals that independently oscillate and are very tweakable. In a synth it usually has one to three oscillators. Anyone know a way to plug these three pedals independently into one source and then control it via a keyboard? Is this for the world of midi? Is this not available technology?

mini mixer or a patchbay

I was thinking that, but how...

Do your oscillators have CV control?

I think you'd have to find a way to control your oscillators' pitch via a Keyboard. This can be done with CV or Midi. There are probably myriads of other ways, but these are the ones that come to mind. Since the Pedals aren't Midi-compatible you have to go CV. So you'd have to mod your pedals to take CV (in case they don't already) and then find a CV keyboard. Basically modular synth keyboards are CV, you could patch out the keyboard of a Moog or a Korg if I'm not mistaken. I can't think of a way to play chords with this though.

Then you could go through a mixer to make them sound together which is the easiest part.

+1 for CV

+2 for CV if You really want to use the keyboard. BUT the pedals are, to my best knowledge, not build in a fashion that would make this a handy bonus feature though there might be a mad scientist somewhere with a special plan.

You might also consider a set of effect loops and/or a mini mixer with a programmable harmonizer, and give it some time but I can't see why it could not be done that way if drones will do

Any oscillation+Eventide (or similar) harmonizer+MIDI controller=success.
