Adding effects to your instruments in Tabletop is easy. Like adding an instrument or any other device, click the keyboard icon in the upper right corner. From the device menu, select an effect device. Drag it to the tabletop.
Now tap the wiring icon in the top right (it is next to the keyboard icon and looks like two circles with a squiggly line connecting them). This will highlight all the inputs and outputs of the devices on the tabletop.
Select the output arrow (pointing up) for the instrument device you want the effect applied to. Drag the output arrow of the instrument to the input arrow (pointing down) of the effect. In this example I have chosen the 'Filtr' effect to be applied to the 'RS3' synth.
In the picture above, you can see the animation of a cable being dragged to connect the two devices.
Now the output of the 'RS3' is connected to the input of the 'Filtr', and the output of 'Filtr' is connected to one of the inputs on the mixer. Play the 'RS3' and drag your finger across the display of the 'Filtr' effect. You should hear your sound changing. Cool.
In the next post, I will cover recording external instruments and vocals. Then we will get to mix downs and more complex beats, songs and arrangements, how to perform or improvise live, and maybe the T-Pain effect.
