A Patch A Day, No. 21

"A curious patch, which began as a boredom-inducing percussive thing, and got a pinch wackier.

I wanted to attempt to fade out one clock for another, but that didn't work too keenly. I did, however, think of any interesting way of switching between tempos and triggers fairly easily. One flip of the µFade A/B switch and we can jump to a different clock entirely. Still trying to figure out how mixing clocks together might work.

And of course a flip of one of the Quadra expander switches produces many other interesting patterns. I am enjoying using the Quadra as a clocking device. By flipping the 1 + 2 switch, with 1 as a potential clock, a new cycling occurs for both the envelopes of the quadra as well as the clock(s) generated by it.

There's a lot of fiddling around attempting to get the clock divider to switch the clock via the µFade, but that didn't workout very well."
