A Patch A Day, No. 27

"This patch is fundamentally about attenuating clocks to produce different intervals, and using the same clocks to control the movement form one pitch to the next.

Here, we have the same basic idea - Wogglebug sending a clock into the Clock Divider. But we are using the clock divider in a very particular way, patching out of the various divisions, and attenuating either through the DPO's EXPO knobs, through the Dual Index, and through the Maths channels 2 and 3. These attenuated clocks switch between 0V and whatever voltage is necessary to produce an interval.

In other words, each oscillator is moving between two pitches according to their clock source of choice.

I have the Graphic Sequencer also being clocked by the Clock Divider, and that voltage going out to various modulation sources on the Dixie, the DPO, and ch 1 of the Maths (the fourth oscillator).

All in all, a delightful patch, and an idea I'd like to explore more in the future."
