Patch Notes #4 - Odd Clocks With Make Noise René

Published on Jul 10, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Here's an example of a one of the more popular Eurorack sequencers, Make Noise René, modulating the pattern position using stepped random voltages.

Tempi is routed to the X-clock input on René, as well as a 16th note triplet division clocking the Wogglebug. The stepped random output from the Wogglebug is routed to the Y-CV input on the René.

When the Chaos knob on the Wogglebug is set to zero, the longer notes play back the root position, bass line notes along the X axis (left to right). As the Chaos knob rises, the 16th note triplet stepped random voltages begin to effect the Y axis position, creating the effect of arpeggiation.

Tempi is also routed to the Ornament & Crime, which is generating 24-step Euclidean rhythms to both the hihat and the snare-ish sound (a noise-based hihat from Scooper, and a snare from the Basimilus Iteritas.

Tempi is also clocking the Varigate which is driving a kick drum from Braids. All of the sound generating modules are routed to the Mix4, and then through Warps running a delay from the Parasite firmware.

The 0-Coast is receiving a clock from Tempi as well. The internal stepped random function is mult-ed, then sent to the Overtone and Multiply section inputs. The Oscillator square wave is routed to trigger the Slope section, which is tuned to generate sub-oscillator tones, then Slope output to balance input so the signal can be mixed between the sub tone and the overtone signal.
