Tre Modular - State of Mind (RSG first look)

video upload by Tre Modular

"Introducing State of Mind, our upcoming Eurorack Workstation. In this video we want to show you one part of what it can do. And that part is RSG, the Random State Generator. Whole 10 minutes of uncut video of RSG in action.

RSG is State of Mind's random melody generator. With the Musicality control you can choose between true random voltages, that can be quantized or played as they are, and structured melodies that play like a song, or anything in between.

At full Musicality, State of Mind takes a random stream of voltages and applies a set of musical rules to it. Essentially, it writes songs. Each time a song starts, each of the four voices draws its own character: where it sits in its range, the rhythm it leans on, a melodic shape it keeps coming back to.

Every voice has its own pitch CV and its own gate, and the gates carry the rhythm: which steps play and which rest, how long each note is held, when a note ties into the next. It pushes against the beat, leaves space and holds notes where it wants to.

Depending on the mode you set, the four voices work together in different ways. They can play chords with the lead, move beneath it in fifths and octaves, hold a chord tone, answer with a line of their own, sit on a bass note, or each go its own way entirely.

Why do we call State of Mind a Workstation? Well that's because it can do a lot more than making random melodies. Stay tuned to find out more of what SoM can do.

Enjoy!
