Korg MS-20 - Endless random triggered space loop


YouTube via Newueel.

"Another 'endless' loop...
With many thanks to an anonymous comment at http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/ on the previous movie (Endless Space Loop):

Also try patching a noise output to the ESP and taking the random trigger outputs from that."

Never used the ESP for this kind of purposes and I like it a lot! Had lots of fun already!

So the noise generator is used to get a random trigger. This trigger is also used for clocking the sample & hold using the EG2 reversed output.
Later on the MG is clocking the sample & hold combined with a slower random trigger.

If you're interested check out the patch info below:

KNOBS:
VCO1: [Rectangle] [very narrow] [16']
VCO2: [Rectangle] [-2/-3] [2']
PORTAMENTO: [0]
VCOMIX: [10] [ 0] [10] [ 0]
HPF: [ 2] [ 5] [10] [ 0]
LPF: [ 5] [ 8] [10] [ 0]
MG: [(max to the right)] [8]
EG1: (n/a)
EG2: [0] [0] [10] [5] [0]
ESP: [6] [(n/a)] [(n/a)] [(n/a)] [5]

ESP Note: Only SIGNAL IN and TRIG OUT are used. SIGNAL LEVEL (about 6) and THRESHOLD LEVEL (about 5) is a very precise combination. Each SIGNAL LEVEL requires the appropriate THRESHOLD LEVEL. Changing the SIGNAL LEVEL will change the interval for the random trigger. The THRESHOLD LEVEL changes the length of the trigger.

USED PATCHES:
(random trigger:)
1. NOISE GENERATOR (WHITE) -> ESP (SIGNAL IN)
2. ESP (TRIG OUT) -> (TRIG IN)

(random sounds:)
3. ENVELOPE GENERATOR 2 (REV OUT) -> SAMPLE & HOLD (CLOCK)
4. NOISE GENERATOR (PINK) -> SAMPLE & HOLD (IN)
5. SAMPLE & HOLD (OUT) -> VOLTAGE CONTOLLED OSCILATOR 1 (TOTAL)

(later:)
Replace 3. by MODULATION GENERATOR (OUT RECTANGLE) -> SAMPLE & HOLD (CLOCK)"

Thanks for the thanks Newueel!

  1. Keep up the good work man.

    I have enjoyed your videos and it's good to see someone actually putting out something from their instrument.

    I have actually been trying to duplicate your patches on my Moog Voyager interfaced with my analogue solutions modular synth with interesting results.

    Thanks
