Erogenous Tones RADAR Overview Videos by Learning Modular

Published on Jan 21, 2019 Learning Modular

"The Erogenous Tones RADAR is an octal (8-channel) envelope generator with AD, AR, and looping options. It offers a large amount of control over the shape of the envelope, as well as options to combine envelopes together, including quad and octal 'LFO' modes.

1. Erogenous Tones RADAR 1/4: Overview (LMS EE)

This first movie provides an overview of what RADAR can do, in the context of taking a one-envelope voice and making it sound more interesting by using more envelopes:

00:00 overview
00:26 baseline patch: one EG
01:31 patching an external VCA
01:49 envelope 1: AR for VCA
02:54 envelope 2: AD for wavefolder
03:44 setting envelop level with BLiP expander
04:38 envelopes 3 & 4: two envelopes combined for VCF
07:44 envelope 5: FM depth
09:39 converting envelope 5 to an LFO
10:44 summary

2.

In this movie, I focus on the options available to tweak how each channel responds, focusing on the envelope shape controls:

00:00 overview
00:34 Repeating, AR, and AD modes
01:27 Attack and Decay rates
01:42 status LED colors
02:27 envelope Shape controls
03:44 setting envelop level with BLiP expander
05:34 voltage control of mode
06:12 voltage control of shape
06:48 Analog versus Digital retriggering
08:01 voltage control of rate (BLiP required)
08:24 wrap-up

3. Erogenous Tones RADAR 3/4: Quadrature & Octature modes (LMS EE)

The Erogenous Tones RADAR is an octal (8-channel) envelope generator with AD, AR, and looping options. It features quadrature and octature modes where sets of four or eight envelope channels are sequenced to create overlapping patterns:

00:00 overview
01:12 System Mode options (single quad, dual quad, octature)
01:46 quadrature mode explained
03:12 Speed control
04:28 Gravity control
05:24 Shape Delta control
07:09 dual quadrature and octature modes

4. Erogenous Tones RADAR 4/4: BLiP Expander (LMS EE)

The Erogenous Tones RADAR is an octal (8-channel) envelope generator with AD, AR, and looping options. Its BLiP Radar Expander Module adds a number of capabilities, including presets, digital attenuators, inverting and “rolling” (folding) the envelopes, chaining them together, delay, and more. This movie covers the features I personally like:

00:00 overview
00:23 selecting and editing functions
00:52 D-Trig (don’t trigger selected channels)
01:55 Invert
02:33 E-Seq (envelope sequencing)
05:16 Delay
06:40 S-AD Swap (voltage control over envelope times)
09:17 Level
10:19 Roll (envelope voltage offset and wraparound)
11:41 Reset
11:52 Presets
12:36 and there’s more...
