Pitch & BPM Tracking with References Mode in Ornament & Crime

[@timchurches9332]

Great video, thanks! Just a comment about the auto-tune function: it does indeed check your VCO's calibration (1V/octvae tracking), but it also stores a correction table for that VCO (on that output channel of O&C), and then uses that correction table in all the other O&C apps that output pitch CVs in order yo improve the tracking of that VCO (when used with O&C on that output channel), without having to calibrate the oscillator itself. We still recommend calibrating your oscillators, but no matter how hard you try, some VCOs will not track 1V/octave very accurately. The auto-tune capability can correct for such VCO deficiencies, and turn a poorly-tracking VCO into an accurately tracking VCO (at least when that VCO is used with O&C on the same output channel that the auto-tune procedure was run on). The idea is that if you want really accurate pitch output from your VCOs, you can run auto-tune just before you record (and/or perform) to make sure your VCO pitches are exactly right. The auto-tune feature is the same as is used in high-end analogue polysynths, an idea that was first implemented in one of the Sequential Circuits Prophet series, I think, but which has since been adopted by many manufacturers of polysynths with analogue oscillators (in which oscillator tuning would otherwise be a nightmare).

This is amazing! The only thing better than that would be to add additional input channels for CV melody inputs. So lets say I use an iPad to sequence 4 oscillators via an endorphin.es shuttle controller (usb host) I will not be able to use the wonderful tables you produced. But if the o&c could work as a kind of translation device between my hard to tune osci's (some buchla style modules or maths as osc or serge DUSG for example) than this would open a WHOLE world of fun. And then maybe combine this with quartermain and there really would not be a reason for anyone serious about making music in eurorack to not have a o&c in their system :D

I have a couple of Noise Engineering modules that are so hard to track... this. Thank you Mr. Churches.

I can't be the only person who misses your videos!

This is great! I've had an O&C for years, but never knew this. Thx for this! My favorite mode is the ByteBeat mode.

Very nice melodies at the beginning. I every time like to watch again your O_c videos. Thanks for doing them

no more videos???

Thanks! Any chance of a piqued video?
