Hey, I’ve been tinkering with a new modular synth that can sync its oscillators to real‑time vocal input. I think it could give your songwriting a whole new sonic palette—what do you think?

Sure thing! I’ll hook the synth’s envelope follower to a mic input so it picks up the vocal level in real time. Every time your voice hits a note, the synth’s LFO will modulate its pitch in a 1:1 ratio, so it mirrors your melody. I’ll build a small patch that automatically switches the oscillator’s waveform when the vocal hits a certain frequency band, giving you that counter‑melody feel. I’ll get the demo files up for you to drop in your DAW and we’ll jam—just hit play and let the synth dance along.

I don’t have the exact demo files to hand over, but I can walk you through setting it up. Grab a small audio interface and a decent mic, connect the mic to the interface, and plug the interface into your computer. In your DAW, route the mic track to a track that feeds the synth’s input. Inside the synth, set up an envelope follower that watches the mic level. Use that follower to drive a pitch‑shifting module that keeps its pitch locked to the mic’s fundamental frequency—essentially a 1:1 ratio. Add a filter that triggers when the mic hits a certain band so the synth can switch waveforms on the fly. Finally, set a low‑pass filter on the synth’s output to keep the sound smooth, and you’ve got a live vocal‑synth duet. Drop the mic, hit record, and watch your voice turn into a counter‑melody—let the chaos begin!
