Microbe Modular Equation Composer - Equation Player mode


Published on Jun 30, 2014

"The Equation Composer comes with a number of built-in 'programs'. This program plays back ByteBeat equations. See http://www.microbemodular.com/product... for more information."

"Inspired by VIznut's "Algorithmic symphonies from one line of code" and the BitWiz Audio Synth, the Equation Composer creates a wide range of gritty, 8-bit sounding melodies, waveforms, and noise. The module is organized into CV selectable "programs" that range from simple equation playback to struttering loops, and wavetable playback.

Internally, the Equation Composer is based on the powerful Arduino Due. Although the module has been built to be enjoyed "as-is", there's a prominent USB jack on the front for updating the firmware and the software is open source. 14 extra pins have been brought to an expansion header on the rear. The Arduno code itself is modular, allowing various software "modules" to be strung together into “programs” that act like individual synths. (Re-programming is recommended for advanced developers and requires some C++.)"

Equation Composer - Drum Selektor preset

"A quick demo of the Equation Composer - Drum Selecktor preset. Drum sounds are generated by equations, which can be replaced with a little bit of programming. Sorry, the video cuts out about 3/4 of the way through. At one point I plug in an external gate signal, which overrides the internal clock. Once the external clock signal is removed, the internal clock eventually resumes."
