Mandala mk2 tutorial 6: managing track lengths.

video upload by likaoninstruments

"In this tutorial, we see how adjust track lengths on the Mandala mk2.
Each track is independent and can have its own length, from 1 to 128 steps.
The steps are displayed in pages, each page containing 16 steps.
The inner circle shows the current page."

Mandala mk2 tutorial 5: CV quantization ans transposition.

"In this tutorial, we see how to quantize CV steps on the Mandala mk2, and transpose melodies."

You can find all parts in the tutorial series here.

Mandala mk2 tutorial 4: CV glide and LFOs.

video upload by likaoninstruments

"In this tutorial, we see how to glide between CV steps on the Mandala mk2, and how it allows us to create relatively complex LFO curves.
With the quantization and shuffling capabilities, this is going to get more and more interesting !"

"In this tutorial, we start exploring the CV capabilities of the Mandala mk2.
We create a simple melody and take advantage of the non-CV steps to trigger envelopes."

Playlist:

1. Mandala mk2 tutorial 1: trigger sequencing, euclidean distribution, rotation, mute, tempo.

For this first tutorial, let's start slowly. We are going to have a first contact with the Mandala as a simple euclidean trigger sequencer.
The fundamental features like euclidean distribution and rotation are presented. We also see how to modify the tempo and mute some tracks.

2. Mandala mk2 tutorial 2: manual steps, locked steps, lock and unlock all.

In this tutorial, we see how to manually add or remove steps, and how to lock and unlock steps.
Locked steps are not affected by a euclidean distribution / removal.

"This time we'll see how to use Marie's LFO as a quad envelope generator !
Repeating the same melody for 5+ minutes is still a bit annoying :)"

"An LFO / quad envelope generator with a completely customizable waveform, based on Bézier curves.

During a discussion with Marie Ann Hedonia, we got to talking about what would be the ultimate feature in an LFO module.

The killer feature that came out is the ability to draw a completely custom waveform, instead of tweaking around with sines, squares and triangles. Daphne Oram had this idea years ago, and we thought it was time to implement this great concept in an LFO in Eurorack format.

Marie’s LFO is a module where you can draw your own waveform by using Bézier curves (think about Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape’s paths)

You have the ability to select points and control points, and move them around to exactly define the output voltage evolution over time. Needless to say, the curve shape can be adjusted in real time 🙂

Synchronization

The module has three synchronization modes.

No synchro : it runs freely and you can modulate its frequency with a knob or CV input
MIDI : it detects the MIDI clock frequency, and you can divide or multiply the tempo by power of two (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x…)
TRIG : it detects the input trigger’s frequency and you can also apply clock division on it.
Outputs

Marie’s LFO offers 4 offset-able outputs. Each output runs on the same curve, but you can adjust their offsets.

The audio mode allows you to generate signal based on your curves, but in audio frequencies. Controlled by MIDI input (and sooner or later 1v/octave).

Noise generation

Because purity is no fun, Marie’s LFO also contains a configurable (in amplitude and density) OpenSimplex noise generator that can be applied to your curve in real time. The noise generator is controllable with CV inputs as well.

Saving your work

The module allows you to save your work (curve path) and configuration(frequency, sync mode, outputs offsets) in 32 memory slots, so you won’t have to restart from scratch every time !
