A-155 random drum pattern


A-155 random drum pattern from N K on Vimeo.

"Doepfer A-155 sequencer's trigger row outputs trigger three different drum sounds made with the modular (kick, hihats, and snare). These sounds, along with a simple tonal sequence from the A-155 CV row 1 output, are heard from 0:00-0:17. Around 0:18, I add a 4/4 909 kick (and later a simple 808 snare/clap pattern) to provide a base rhythm. The 6-step A-155 trigger pattern is reset every 16 steps. One LFO changes the A-155 direction from forward to random, and another changes the pattern's first step from 1 to 5. These two LFOs are almost fully to the right of the middle row of modules pictured, and you can just make out the lights corresponding to the snare rolls and random fills. A few tonal sounds were added to the example to show how the drum patch might sound in practice."

Update via Nicholas: "I've amended my post, fixed a link in the wrong place, added a pic at the top, and explained a bit how the using MAQ as the clock source can make the pattern even more complex."
