Getting Started: Patching with Gates and Triggers in Eurorack

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Gates and triggers are some of the most common signals you’ll patch. Both are binary signals, meaning they’re either off or on. Off is 0 volts, and on is usually somewhere around 5 to 10 volts.

So, what’s the difference?

A gate stays high for a certain amount of time. The length of the gate is part of the signal. Sequencers commonly output gates, letting you control how long each note lasts.

A trigger is basically a very short gate. It’s just a quick pulse, usually only a few milliseconds long. Triggers are often used to start events, like setting the tempo for drum modules, firing envelopes, or advancing sequencers. Clock signals are usually triggers as well. Each pulse moves something forward in time, like advancing a sequencer or firing rhythmic events.

In many cases, you can use a gate as a trigger, since modules often only care about the moment the signal goes from low to high. But using a trigger where a gate is expected doesn’t always work the same way, since triggers are so short.

Gates and triggers might be simple signals, but they’re essential for controlling rhythm, timing, and events across your entire patch.

Patching Exciting Modulation for Filters // FIRST PATCH with Swell from Bartola Instruments

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new Swell Eurorack filter and valve gain stage from Bartola Instruments. We'll be exploring this in the usual in depth DivKid demo style in the future but wanted to share our literal first patch playing around with saturating, character oozing valve distortion and filtering ... and in doing so, share some modulation tips about how we like to patch modulation, mixing sources and making things feel exciting and dynamic. I hope the patch notes below are useful and let us know what you'd like to see more of with Swell."

"*PATCH NOTES*

The simple bit first - AUDIO PATH - two saw wave oscillators, changing the octaves between them at points, mixed into 'Swell' and then output into some stereo FX for background ambience.

The modulation is where this gets exciting going into the FM input (which modules filter cut off frequency) is my main envelope, a simple decay envelope. Resonance is modulated by a step sequence (external attenuation is the key here). Then the v/oct input is used as a place to input a mix of modulation. The first is an accent envelope, patching a less dense gate rhythm into a second envelope and patching that into a mixer. Then outputting the mixer into the v/oct input of the filter. The second is then the same step sequence as the resonance.

So with the mixer into the v/oct and the FM input I have 3 modulation sources modulating the filter frequency - main envelope, accent envelope & step sequence.

Modules used - Thonk Synth VCO, Joranalogue Cycle 5, TINRS Next Tuesday, Making Sound Machines Multiplikand, Bartola Instruments Swell, WMD + Infrasonic Audio Cosmis Debris, Vostok Instruments Fuji, Apollo View IOU, Thonk Synth dual VCA.

THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY BARTOLA INSTRUMENTS* they have funded the creation of this first patch video and future demo video with Swell. Any questions just ask."

A trio of Nocturne Alchemy Platform modules pushing around a couple of Basimilus Iteritas Alters.

video upload by FlatSix Modular

"Seeing how far I can push a couple of Basilimus Iteritas Alters with a trifecta of Nocturne Alchemy Platform modules. The Arp Of Darkness is modulating the first BIA with a new feature called Auto Remix Mode that’s in beta. (It shuffles the note order of the current buffer every 2 or 4 bars) The Shroud Of Turing is managing the lead voice of the first BIA. The Seventh Summoner is managing the baseline voices which are the second BIA, and a Mother-32. Modulation duties of the second BIA are coming from the Voltage Block, and the Arp Of Darkness. The clocks are being handled by Varigate 8+. Drums are handled by a BitBox being triggered by a Circadian Rhythms. Finally I have a few VCA linked up to some voltages on an ADDAC System Manual Latches as a mute for each voice.

"First jam on the new location, studio is still unfinish, but i start redoo video and jam :)

Voices: Sampled radio to Reonant FB bank to Warp vocodeur and Gotharman's tuul granulator.
ARP: FM sound made with 2 FM OP and C4rbon in oscilator mod to LPG
to Phaser and delay from gotharman's Tuul, parallele processing via Typhoon for granular sound
Stereo texture: Paraelle procesing of the bassline to ikary (via waveshaper)
Bass: gotharman's tuul sin oscilator FM by c4arbon, mixed with noise to tube distortion and feedback to Centaur gate for filter

sequenced by Blueberry and transpose with Gliss
all this mixed to Jumble heng to polydactil versio and BiB for the FX

Xaoc Devices Kamieniec II | From classic phasing to experimental sound design

video upload by Tom Churchill

"Kamieniec Mark II, from Xaoc Devices, is a new and improved version of their classic phaser module, which was originally released 10 years ago. It can do classic end-of-chain phasing effects, and with the optional Allpass Expander PCB fitted, you can get up to 22 stages of phasing, and there’s loads of resonance on tap, which means it’s a monster for pinging.

This video is sponsored by Xaoc Devices, and in it, I’ll describe how Kamieniec works, explain what’s new in the Mark II version, and break down some patches to show you what it can do."
