Modular Synth - Patch in Progress 13 - Music Thing Radio Music

Published on Jul 21, 2015 isvisible / isinvisible

"My first patch with the wonderful Radio Music module by Music Thing.

The Radio Music module is loaded with the suggested audio from Tom Whitwell, the legend behind Music Thing.
The tuning and reset in the Radio Music module are being provided by the Doepfer A-155 Sequencer, which is in turn being clocked by the TipTop Trigger Riot.

The output of the Radio Music is split to three different processors, the Synthesis Technology E580 Delay, an Eventide 1745M Delay and a Mutable Instruments Clouds.

A couple of drones, one from a Doepfer A-110 Oscillator and another from a Neutron Sound Orgone Accumulator are underpinning everything.

Minimal drums are provided by a couple of Ladik D-333 ROM Players.

Music Thing Modular Spring Reverb

Published on Oct 20, 2013 Tom Whitwell·35 videos

"Spring reverb module for Eurorack modular synths. Audio is slightly out of sync with video, sorry. Full details below...

Controls:
Top knob is reverb level.
Right hand smaller knob is Tilt, a simple hifi-style tone control that changes the colour of the reverb.
Left hand smaller knob is Control, an attenuverter control for the incoming CV. 12 o'clock = no CV, clockwise = increasing CV, anticlockwise = inverted CV.

Patch: DPO sine waves sequenced by Turing Machine and Wogglebug. Gated through QMMG, envelopes from Maths. The CV input makes 80s-style gated reverb and pseudo-reverse reverb possible.

For this demo, using a 9EB2C1B full sized reverb tank.

Music Thing Modular Spring Reverb Crossfade Mode

Published on Oct 20, 2013

"The MTM Spring Reverb contains a vactrol crossfader that you can also use independently. Here, it is crossfading between the DPO Final and Square outputs.
The module can be built with either a Silonex or a VTL5C3 vactrol. The VTL5C3 sounds smoother for this use, with a slower response that can be 'pinged'.

Video and audio are slightly out of sync, sorry.

Turing Machine as VCO (Eurorack/Doepfer Modular Synth Demo)

Published on Sep 10, 2013 flx04·54 videos

"In this video we'll have a look at using the Music Thing Modular 'Turing Machine' Random Looping Sequencer (phew) as a VCO. You can do some cool slew-limiter tricks if you combine it with a Make Noise Function or Maths module. If you have any questions or comments, please post them below :) Thanks for watching!

Expanders for Turing Machine Random Looping Sequencer

Published on May 2, 2013 Tom Whitwell·30 videos

"Two DIY expander modules for the RLS from Music Thing Modular. Pulses produces seven pulse outputs, related to the master clock and controlled by the main module. Voltages (with the faders) is an eight step sequencer where multiple steps can be active at once, creating very unpredictable patterns.

Patch details:
One pulse output is pulsing the white noise from the RLS module through a QMMG low pass gate, creating the kick drum sound at the start.
The two outputs (normal and inverted) from the voltages module are going into a A156 quantizer, then into two sizes of a DPO oscillator. Each time the note changes, the sine wave outputs are gated through the QMMG.
One more output from the pulse module is triggering the FM bus on the DPO, causing the bleeps and bloops."

"Testing all three of the Random Sequencer / Turing machine modules I constructed.

Big Thanks to Tom Whitwell, Thonk, and Erthenvar for making this happen.

Custom panels fabricated by me and hand painted in the recesses. Design based loosely on the original panels for these modules.

Had fun making these and they work rather well."

"This is a primary testing of the Tom Whitwell Random Sequencer / Turing machine module.

Also testing The Harvestman Evin 209 matrix mixer along with the cv ins and outs on the Thingamagoop.

Thanks again to Tom Whitwell, Thonk and Erthenvar for all things necessary to build this module.

Custom panel designed by me based on the original panel, hand painted recesses.

Enjoy!!"

acRLS random looping sequencer

Published on Apr 6, 2013 boothnavy·30 videos

"Quick demo of the 'blinken lites' on the new analog craftsman incarnation of the random looping sequencer designed by Tom Whitwell.

The sequencer uses a clock input to cycle through a series of voltage outputs, from 8 to 32 steps, which can be captured in a specific pattern if desired. The range of cv output is also adjustable.

The acRLS is being clocked by a Modcan 05B and is controlling the pitch of a Modcan 01B VCO"

Random Looping Sequencer

Random Looping Sequencer from VoltageCtrlR on Vimeo.

[Audio in left channel only]

"Here's a demo of the Random Looping Sequencer DIY module I built. It's added a lot of life to my setup and is excellent for live performance with some control over the randomness...

This patch features the RLS' seq out multed to uscale in and envelator gate in. envelator out to borg 1... borg out to mixer and into camera. The sound source is the uncle & anti osc tripple wave folded and filtered with the z2040 and ems synthi filter clone.

The Random Sequencer is a circuit that produces random control voltages. These can be completely random, or they can be locked into loops that repeat every 8, 16 or 32 steps. It was inspired by the long history of shift register pseudorandom synth circuits, including the Triadex Muse, Buchla 266 Source of Uncertainly, Ken Stone’s gated comparator and Grant Richter’s Noisering. This circuit includes a transistor noise generator, so should create true random binary sequences. However, the structure of the sequencer and the nature of the digital-to-analog converter used seem to give a particular character - tones that rise and fall in a particular way.
