Pantala Labs - Color Control Voltage 2 - first path in Nebula [Vinyl Controlled CV]

Published on Jun 4, 2017 Gibran Curtiss

Update: new video here.

"Hi.
Just finished the prototype , turned it on, made some tests and plugged into synth.
I didnt even got a little practice to get used to its behaviour.
Soon, a bigger video explaining wow it works inside and more paths."

Pantala Labs - Step Sequencer with Euclidean Rhythm Generator

Published on Feb 6, 2017 Gibran Curtiss

"8 tracks, 16 steps sequencer with Euclidean Generator e some other goodies :

-play / pause;
-reset the step counter;
-remove the entire sequence;
-add/delete just one step;
-shift sequence
-tempo speed
-euclidean generator
-track mute
-master clock
-clock in

There are some other things I could have implemented but, really, I never ever used some features in previous sequencers. Random steps for example. Its nice to see, but never used.

At the moment I'm writing this I thought into a good resource , COPY/PASTE sequence :-) .

Thank you for watching!"

spring reverb - tests

"Tests of a Spring Reverb. Trying to find the equation for more gain / low distortion."

Generative Music - part IV

Published on Jan 22, 2017 Gibran Curtiss

"Another great step forward to my generetive music project.

These are the 2 major changes in project:

a)the first 3 videos I've made, the Arduino was connected to a laptop by MIDI. Now 2 full 5V CV OUTs available (3 at the moment I'm writing this) :-) provided by a DAC MCP4725

b)improvement into evolution algorithm allowing to choose to evolute or not each parameter individually. This way we can let the machine evolute by itself and then step in anytime to control the evolution.

Finally the unit is connected to a real modular synth!!! I'm very very really happy!!!!!!!!.

This video is a very simple path:

-one CV to a Qu-Bit Chord
-another CV to 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator.

Thank you for watch"

Pantala CCV + Qu-Bit Chord in Droned Colors

Published on Dec 17, 2016 Gibran Curtiss

"This is the second patch using the CCV - Color Control Voltage.
This time , a droned interpretation of splattered colors.

CCV - Color Control Voltage.
-three separated 5V range controls for Red , Green, Blue colors;
-three separated CV out for each color;
-color density control to manipulate the colors making then more dense or clear;
-color inversion : dark colors means lower frequencies and brighter colors mean higher frequencies or the opposite ;
-motor speed control;
-sample speed control from 2 seconds up to 10 milliseconds of interval;
-3 clock sources:
a) internal logical, provided by the microcontroller,
b)encoded wheel attached to the spindle with 16/8/4/2 steps per revolution,
c) external clock in;
-trigger/gate option;
-arm speed control;

Thank you for watching."

Pantala CCV - Color Control Voltage

"Pantalla CCV is a device to 'extract' the colors from a picture and convert then into voltage. The main use is to create sounds connecting to other voltage controlled synthesizer."
