Drum machine INTO a synth is pure doomy awesomeness...

Soooo I was jamming along with my Korg MS20 mini plugged into my Beat Buddy drum machine and the thought hit me; "what happens if I plug the Beat Buddy INTO the Korg MS20?". Dug around and got the cables, did the patchwork and HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!!! When you played a note the Beat Buddy's rhythm would "pulsate" under the note. Very cool, ominous and "doomy".
I cleared some space on the iPad last night so hopefully I'll be able to record a few samples.

Sounds cool. Interested to hear the results.
Cool to see somebody using the beat buddy in a different context.

What's your signal flow? BB audio out to MS20 audio in?

Yes and one of the out in the external signal section to the in on top near the high pass filter. I'll take a pic when I'm able to record.

I can't play the clip through ILF and when the "link" asks me to go SoundCloud to listen, nothing happens.

pretty cool
so you're using the drum machine to trigger the modulation?
like plugging in a drum machine to say a ring thing's cv?
