Meta Demora - Demo 002

Published on Aug 20, 2015 Owen Canivet

"Braids Meta Vs Roland Demora
Patch using the meta mode in braids as main sound source and outputting to Roland Demora.
QCD is master clock, different clock measures fed to Macro Machines Dynamic Destiny and stepped through in random mode then output sent to clock Modcan Touch Sequencer and Tiptop Circadian Rhythm, and Demora sync finally also used to clock sync time on Modcan Dual Delay. Clock measures stacked and used to sync Modcan Quad LFO, Make Noise Wogglebug and SSF Ultra Random.

Wogglebug stepped output activates braids Meta mode, various random modulation on braids and split output to one channel of Make noise optomix for percussive hits and also to Roland Demora. Quad LFO modulates Demora feedback and width. Demora has custom patch with clock syncing and modulated 12db filter. Bypass switch is also activated by triggers to cut off and gate effect. Finally Demora Output is put through Eventide Space.

Pad is Intellijel Shapeshifter in chord mode put through Mutable clouds. Randomly modulated for interest then passed through ADDAC 601 fixed filter bank. Bands are pinged with triggered envelopes and LFO’s from Quad LFO. Finally output to Modcan Dual delay.

Percussion is Mutable Peaks kick (x2) sequenced by Circadian Rhythm, SSF Quantum Rainbow white Noise Hats. Snare created on ALM Dinky’s Taiko with noise envelope randomly opened with attenuated trigger from Circadian Rhythm. Two Channels from Modcan Touch Sequencer controls pitch for Braids and Clouds .

All Euro except for Eventide Space Mixed Eq’d and panned on Soundcraft mixer into Logic. Live muting and fading. Vintage warmer strapped on master bus to glue it all together :) "

Tiptop Audio Circadian Rhythm

Published on Mar 28, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Tiptop Circadian Rhythm is triggering the ALM Dinky's Taiko, Audio Damage Boomtschak, SSF Entity, and Mannequins Just Friends for drums. The bass and melodies are sequenced by the Malekko Varigate 8 which is clocked by the Circadian. The Make Noise DPO and Verbos Complex Oscillator are used for those sounds. All is being mixed in the Intellijel Linix and then routed to the Make Noise Erbe Verb.

The Tiptop Audio ‘Circadian Rhythms’ is a complex grid sequencer module moving modular synthesizer technology another step forward by gluing all the pieces of a system together. Each module or voice can now be programmed to play straight from an intelligent, eight-channel, 512-step master trigger sequencer made for composers looking to make music on the modular. Building on the sequencing concept of step programing, multi-channel patterns of musical phrases can be repeated, looped, chained, muted and manipulated on the fly in real-time, and most importantly, all of this is done through a simple, clearly labeled interface. Using an array of multicolor illuminated buttons and innovative grid views the Circadian Rhythms provides a highly functional live performance sequencer with a beautiful glowing appearance of the programmed music that will look amazing on stage for both performer and crowd. As a master controller, the heart of the modular synthesizer, Circadian Rhythms generates high precision clock and reset signals for all the other sequencers and devices in the system to align with and can also act as a high precision bridge for DAW synchronization.

New Tiptop Audio Quantizer & Circadian Rhythm Eurorack Modules in the Flesh

Two pics via StromKult I believe from the recent workshop in Berlin.

"The circadian rhythm will be a very complex step sequencer with 8 by 8 plus 8 multi colored buttons and more that makes it very easy to use as Konstantin Gervis could show live in a workshop at Central Music around the corner now.

The second one was an even better looking module – the quantizer, that unfortunately could not have been explained too deep nor showed as good as the sequencer because the time became short. There was so many other hot stuff by tiptop audio to be explained and performed in the workshop, but we will check the remaining details very soon."

Strum - Modular Patch

Published on Aug 16, 2016 Richard Devine

This was a patch experiment using the new Mutable Instruments Rings/Clouds Modules, and trying to create strumming/plucking guitar like sounds within a patch. The inspiration came from playing around with the Clouds Parasites 1.3 alternate firmware running in the Resonator mode highlighting the 'scatter' (or strum) function. The master clock was the Tiptop Circadian Rhythms module, taking the first 4 outputs into my Nord Drum 2 for the Kick, snare, closed and open hi-hats. From there the clock output from the CR was multiplied and then sent to the Modcan Touch Sequencer. First row output from the TS was sent to the intellijel Shapeshifter creating a two note baseline sequence that comes in at 1:58. The second sequence Row2 output from the TS was sent to the "ALM Akemie's Castle" module OSC A output using the chord function, that comes in at 25 seconds. The gates from the modcan where set to a 16th's pulse sequence. Modulation from the synthesis technology E102 Quad Temporal Shifter output 1 modulating the Multiplier input on Operator 1. The 2, 3 and 4 outputs from the E102 where also modulating the Operator 2, 3, and 4 inputs on the Akemie's Castle. This was creating the harmonic timbre changing as the sequence was playing.
The slowly evolving sweeping noise textures that come in at 1:09 is from the Music Thing Radio Music module. The sample was a white noise sampled lightly filtered and then sent to the intellijel HexVCA with the amplitude CV control via a Intellijel Dixie modulating from slow to high rates (free running). The Make Noise Rene was being externally clocked from the Circadian Rhythm, and was sending out a quantized output to the Mutable Instruments Clouds pitch input creating the chord guitar sequence. The strum sounds on Clouds was played by the 4ms QCD running in 32th division output into the Trigger input. The freeze input was also triggered by a Ladik R-110 Random clock module. The combination of the two created the trill chord like strums.

The bass guitar tone sound that comes in at 1:24 are from the MakeNoise Mysteron, that is being sequenced by the Modcan Touch Sequencer, Row Output 3 was programmed in the same key but a lower octave. The "Rings" module was creating slow attack soft high pitched chords in reverb that come around 2:50. There was additional processing of the Clouds output that was sent into the Tiptop ZDSP module running the "Halls of Vahalla" card program 8 "Ginnungagap" creating the high pitch octave deep reverb shimmer effects. The harmonic slow swells that come in at 3:30 where created using another intellijel Dixie oscillator sine output running into an Strymon "Big Sky" pedal being harmonically controlled by an intellijel µScale V1. The output was being played slowly then processed using the "Choral" mode, creating the slow shimmer swells. The entire mix was sent into the Eventide Space pedal using the "Corridors" patch.

"This was kind of tough to figure out. Programming the circadian rhythm in 5/4 is kind of confusing but the zoom feature really helps. The ASQ-1 is sequencing the rhythm the piano part with cv 1 and 2 going to two Dixie’s to have some polyphony then the lead part is just the keystep controlling an MCO."

a loose wire cut off the audio a tad -- a negligible circumstance given the awesome patch ;)

Cheers!"

Audio drops on the right just after :11 at comes back in at 1:10. It's worth watching through.

CR Hex Mutant Patch

CR Hex Mutant Patch from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"Patch experiment using the Tiptop Circadian Rhythm in group looping mode. I first went in and programed 8 different patterns for each of the 8 groups. Each one was setup at 4 x 16 sequence. So for this patch I had 64 patterns playing top to bottom. I improvised different mutes on the fly, and used the fill function on various channels to repeat pulses/gates at different times. The master tempo was set to 154 then dropped and shifted down to 120 towards the end of the video.
