Hey all! I'm trying to create a patch for "Fame" by David Bowie. The guitar part is great, no problem.
What I would like to be able to do though, is run a mic into Input 2 and run the vox through the ARP for that epic two octave, "fame fame fame fame fame fame fame" walk down. I'm having a number of issues.
First it's a walk down the scale in about 24 setps and the ARP will only give me 16. The FM9 only gets one pitch block so I can't feed the first 12 into another ARP for the last 12. I figure, my vocalist could maybe pick up and finish the sequence at 17, so it could still work.
The main problem is though that I'm having trouble getting much output out of the mic. I did put a preamp block in front of the arp, which maybe wasn't the right choice. Maybe a full amp? The ARP only seems to want to work with continuous input. I get a blip out of it but it quits working once the initial signal has dissipated. Also, while I had imagined the word "fame" coming through the arp, it's just a generated tone.
I figure at this point I'm probably not using the right tool for the job. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
