"This is our first power up of this module and it is awesome! Video and patch notes below.
Here’s a quick test & overview of the Stored Random, Fluctuating Random and Quantized Random sections of the Sputnik West Coast Random Source.

00:00 - Stored Random Voltages section
01:10 - Fluctuating Random Voltages section
02:00 - Quantized Random Voltages section
02:27 - Lot’s’o Modulation with Intellijel Shapeshifter


00:00
Stored Random Voltages:
Pulse input generates random voltage
1st output covers 0-5V range
2nd output is voltage controlled and knob alters the distribution of voltages

Patch notes: End of envelope into Pulse input. 1st output into opens and closes VCA/VCF. 2nd output is modulating the Shape parameter of the Shapeshifter. Various color noise from the West Coast Random Generator is plugged into the Stored Random CV input.

01:10
Fluctuating Random Voltages:
Two sections for creating a fluctuating voltage
CV input and control over a bandwidth of .05hz to 50khz

Patch notes: 1st output is modulating the Shape 1 and 2 parameter of the Shapeshifter. 2nd output is modulating the Korgasmatron Filters A & B cutoff frequency.
ADSR 1 into Fluctuating Random Voltage input 2 CV, and an ADSR 2 into Fluctuating Random Voltage input 2 CV.

02:00
Quantized Random Voltages:
Pulse input for generating 1v/oct quantized random voltage
CV input and knob for controlling distribution of random voltages
Two different algorithmic outputs:
“N+1 states” and “2N states“. N is an integer number in the range 1…6 that can be adjusted with the manual control (Man N) and an external control voltage CVN with attenuator. Whenever the rising edge of the input clock signal (Clk In) appears a new random voltage is generated at the N+1 resp. 2N output. The N+1 output is capable to generate N+1 different voltage levels (or states), the 2N output up to 2Ndifferent states. If for example N is set to 4 the N+1 output generates up to 5, the 2N output 16 different states. The voltage steps of the 2N output are adjusted to 1/12 V in the factory.

Patch notes: 1st output is controlling the Pitch of Shapeshifter oscillator 1. 2nd output is controlling the Shapeshifter ratio."
