Serge Modular vid #28


Published on Sep 23, 2012 by Phisynth

"Rhythm programming on the Serge - here's a quick way of doing it, using only Slope Generators and a Pulse Divider from one clock.

The sources are simple noise (DUSG 1) and Tri oscillators here (2 & 3). The vid has no musical purposes...

The base concept is : use one pulse division for triggering the channel, and other randomly chosen divisions to control the CV In and 1V/oct from the same channel.

The DUSG output controls the amplitude and may control the VCF from the source at the same time (to create a kick-like effect), but I find it even more interesting if it controls the amplitude of one channel and the VCF of another at the same time (as shown around 3:03 with the orange cable)...

Gives semi-randomness in pitch and syncopated rhythms like this :

ps: on the same principle, add some VC-controlled filters in the signal chain and you're in IDM-heaven..."

  1. Please! More demo videos of patches on a Serge! I'm far from stupid as far as modulars go but less than a year old with my 9 Serge modules. Still learning the ins and outs and there're basically no demos anywhere that I can find. :o

  2. Be sure to click on the Serge label at the bottom of the post. You'll find tons there - currently 1021 posts to date! :) Also see Carbon111's Serge Modular Index if you haven't already. It's probably the best Serge resource out there.

  3. Ty for the mention chief. :) Carbon111's has been bookmarked for almost a year. :) All read through; serge-fans.com; all read throguh; quadslope.com and muff's same. Searches everywhere ... :o :)
    Vid demos of making a patch (for ANYthing, beyond simple) just don't seem to exist for Serge modulars. Due to that as well, I at least photo complex patches that I've done, for returning to or sharing if required, later.
