A100 Motorik rhythm

A100 Motorik rhythm from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"I wanted to use our still-new Doepfer A-118 Noise source in a drum pattern. This is the result.

Here's the patch:

The envelope generator on the Moog Rogue is set to auto-trigger itself.

The Audio Out from the Moog Rogue is sent to the Symmetrical input on the A-119 External Input, only to trigger its Gate output (the Audio Out on the 119 is not used).

The Gate Out from the A-119 is sent to a multiple, and from there to:

1. The Trig. In on an A-160 Clock Divider
2. The Gate In on an A-140 Envelope Generator

The /4 output on the 160 is triggering a Boss Dr. Pad (Snare 1 setting). The output from the Dr. Pad is sent to the mixer (off screen).

The /8 output on the 160 is triggering the first envelope on the A-143-1 Complex Envelope Generator (set to Attack-Decay mode) the output of which is opening the bottom VCA on the A-132-3 Dual VCA. The output on the bottom VCA is sent to a mixer (off screen).

The CP2 gate out on the 143-1's second channel (set to LFO mode) is patched to the CV In on an A-150 Dual Voltage Controlled Switch (here acting as a VCA). The output of the 150 is send to the mixer (off screen).

The triangle output from a Plan B ELF LFO is sent to a Frostwave Resonator's input, the output of which is connected to a Frostwave Blue Ringer. The Ringer's output is patched to the Input on the upper 132-3 VCA; the output of the upper VCA is sent to the mixer (off screen).

The White Noise output from the 118 is sent to the In 2 input on an A-196 Phase Locked Loop. The Phase Comp. Output from the 196 is sent to the first Input on the A-150. The second input is left unpatched.

The Colored Noise output from the 118 is sent to the Input on the bottom 132-3 VCA.

The first output on the 140 is opening the upper 132-3 VCA.

The second output on the 140 is sent to a multiple, and from there to:

1. the Low Pass Frequency CV In the Resonator
2. to an attenuator, and then to the CV In on the Ringer

I think that's everything. Two A-118 noise channels, one Dr. Pad channel and one M37-->filter-->ring modulator channel. Panned for stereo but otherwise no outboard effects used.

A-118 Noise from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"I could listen to this all day!

We just got a Doepfer A-118 Noise and Random Voltage module. It's great!!

In this patch, the Colored output from the 118 is being fed into a channel on the A-132-3 VCA. The Random Voltage output from the 118 is being multed and sent to:

A. the Gate In on a A-140 Envelope Generator (the output of which is opening the VCA)

B. the Trigger In on an A-160 Clock Divider (the /4 and /32 outputs are sending CV to the two halves of an A-150 Dual Voltage Controlled Switch, strictly for blinkenlights purposes)

C. the CP3 In on an A-143-1 Complex Envelope Generator (the Mix Out of which is modulating the Low Pass Frequency on a Frostwave Resonator)

The output from the VCA is sent to the Audio In on a Frostwave Resonator filter; the Resonator is sent into a Frostwave Blue Ringer ring modulator; the output from the Blue Ringer is sent to a mixer, and from there to the computer.

The audio sync is a hair off. Please accept my apologies.

We recommend the A-118. I'm already finding it to be more useful than I'd anticipated!

Echophon Karplus-Strong test

"Modulating the Echophon's pitch shifter and delay times to simulate Karplus-styled string modelling.

Signal path: DPO Final out--> Wogglebug ring mod in --> Wogglebug center out --> LPG --> Echophon --> LPF

A contact mic under the Moog Prodigy to the right is fed into a Maths channel-- tapping on the Moog (or anything on the desk, really) triggers an envelope which opens a VCA, letting quick burst of signal into the Echophon.

The first row of the Pressure Points is controlling the pitch shift amount.

Binary Zone+ patch tutorial

Binary Zone+ patch tutorial from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"Playing with the sequencing idea first presented in the Blacet Binary Zone module, this patch uses Frames (Mutable Instruments) as a voltage mixer, combining and scaling gate outputs from Tempi (Make Noise), outputting repeating melodic sequences from timing information.

Basic patch:

Tempi outs 1-4 --> Frames ins 1-4

Frames mix out --> VCO 1v/oct in

By setting channel levels on Frames, each pattern of clock divisions entering the module is referenced by a specific voltage at the output. When these patterns overlap, their voltages are summed and the resulting voltage pattern at the output grows more complex.

By modulating the State parameter on Tempi, different arrangements of patterns can be created, altering the output (essentially creating new sequences built around the same notes described by Frames' channel levels).

Likewise, by modulating the keyframe on Frames, different input levels can be recalled, altering the notes in the patterns created by the Tempi gates.

Tempi output 6 --> Tempi Gate Select, Frames Modulation

By feeding a Tempi channel back into its State select input, and multing this to Frames' modulation input (while in Sequencer mode), precisely timed alterations of the voltage sequence can be produced. Additionally, the repetition of these patterns can be offset by having an unequal number of Keyframes (Frames) and States (Tempi).

Touch clock

Touch clock from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"Following the Make Noise manual's suggestion for "stopping" the Wogglebug's clock by patching an otherwise unconnected cable into the Clock Input, I thought I'd try touching the end of the cable to advance the clock...

It worked!

Here's the patch:

The Wogglebug's Clock Out is sent to a mult, and from there to (a) the Gate In on an A-140 Envelope Generator and the Trigger In on an A-160 Clock Divider.

The Clock Divider's outputs are sent to an A-138c mixer's inputs, the output of which is controlling a Z3000 VCO (via an A-170 Slew Limiter, lightly-- basically a Binary Zone patch).

The Saw Out from the Z3000 is sent to the top half of the A-132-3 DVCA, and the Square Out is sent to the Signal In on an A-196 PLL. The Phase Comp Out from the PLL is sent to the bottom half of the 132-3 (and from there to the computer, right channel).

Both VCAs are being controlled by the A-140.

The top half of the 132-3 is sent out to a Frostwave Resonator and a Blue Ringer (and from there to the computer, left channel).

The Resonator's Low Pass Frequency is being controlled by the Wogglebug's Stepped Output.

Touching the tip and the sleeve of the Clock cable at the same time advances the clock by one step; touching the tip alone cycles it very quickly.

I'm sure with a bit of attenuation, this could be more precise!

555 PLL

555 PLL from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"Running a 555 oscillator through a pair of Frostwave pedals (Resonator and Blue Ringer), which are being controlled by the modular.

The Low Pass Frequency on the Resonator is being controlled by the Triangle output of the ELF LFO.

The frequency on the Blue Ringer is set low enough to act as an LFO of sorts. It's receiving CV from the /2 output of a Doepfer A-160.

The output from the ring modulator is sent to the A-119 for amplification. The first of the A-119's outputs is sent to Channel 1 on the mixer. The second A-119 output is sent to the Signal Input on a A-196 PLL, and from there to Channel 3 on the mixer.

The bass drone is a Moog Rogue, multed to the two halves of an A-132-3. The Square output from the ELF LFO is triggering the first channel on the A-143-1, which is opening the first VCA. The CP3 output on the A-143-1 is gating the A-140, which is opening the second VCA.

Scream Patch Tutorial

video upload by Peter Speer

"A 'Scream Synthesis' patch technique, utilizing audio-rate FM and feedback.

Audio begins at the 1 minute mark. It's scary stuff. Heads up.

This video was originally filmed and posted to Vimeo in 2013, and is being re-posted here for ease of sharing.

The patch was inspired by a post Grant Richter made on the MW forum about the Malekko Anti-Oscillator's FM normalizations alongside that module's release in 2009, specifically the quote:

'When you feed back the output to the input of most any circuit, you form chaotic functions. Chaotic functions usually 'bifircate', that is split in two. The places where the chaos is momentarily stable are called 'attractors', when you hear frequency warbling or jumping, strange instabilities, it is switching between attractors at an audible rate, this is very common in nature, so if you hear any wounded animal sounds or scarier things, we are just copying the math from mother nature.'

"For this episode, I wanted to let you hear the numerous patches which are documented in Strega's manual. There are patches from Alessandro C, Tony Rolando, Peter Speer, Walker Farrell, Sarah Belle Reid, LightBath, Jake (Pugh?) and Tim Held. I realized I didn't leave much space for 'Bare Strega' in my previous videos, so this was a very cool way to let you hear it 'as intended'."

Sequencing with the A-143-1

Sequencing with the A-143-1 from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"The 143-1 has been nothing but fun since it got here. I've spent the last hour using it as a sequencer of sorts for a self-oscillating Frostwave filter. Instant goth hits!

In this patch, the Plan B Elf LFO's square out is clocking a Doepfer A-160 Clock Divider:

The /2 output is gating the first channel on the A-143-1.
The /4 output is gating the second
The /8 output is gating the third
The /16 output is gating the fourth

The Envelope from the 143-1's first channel is controlling the Low Pass Resonance on a Frostwave Resonator.

The Envelope from the third channel is controlling the High Pass Frequency on the Resonator

The Envelope from the fourth channel is controlling the Low Pass Frequency on the Resonator

The Mix output from the 143-1 is sending CV to a 132-3.

The Resonator is set to self-oscillate, and its Output is sent to the 132-3's Input.

The Opus 3 and the Rogue are a little out of tune, but otherwise dry."
