BugBrand Dual Pattern Generator


YouTube via BugBrand.

"New sequencing module - pretty experimental.!.

Check the electronics page of www.bugbrand.co.uk for schematic.

You input gate signals to select the step (A through D) - this is binary counting (ie Bit0 and Bit1 -- 00, 01, 10, 11 - does that make sense?!) and the two Bit inputs each have two gate inputs that are OR'd together. Probably losing you now to tech-sleep!

Whatever,,, the Bit inputs select the step and there are two independent preset columns - each step having a range of 0 to +5v.

So, one of my modular techniques is to take a regular clock signal and divide it many ways - - 2,3,5,7,9,13,137 etc... Combine these back together and you get a regular pulse but confused with some cross-rhythms and morphing. FIre the BitInputs from four different clock divisions and the SeqStep will jump between the different steps.

Nice lights too!
Sorry about the wobbly-cam effect!"

  1. I did not know bugbrand steped into the Frac-rack world. Very cool!

  2. Hey thanks & thanks to Matrix for posting my vids.

    Yeah, I've been using Fracs for my own modular system (my way of learning) the last year & a half or so. Reckon it can't be too long before I can offer some designs / systems (though my general box output seems to have been a little slow recently... too much learning of how to use cnc etc)

    Right now I'm trying to get together a portable frac system - trying to run off solar power / SLAs. Anyone know of a way to get a portable and power friendly XY scope for lissajous patterns?? (which doesn't cost multi-$$$?!)

    Bestbest,
    TomBugs
