Minimal Eurorack - Finding The Beat w/ Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas

Published on Jan 10, 2019 Nostalgic Ruckus

"You don’t have to have a ton of modules to get into eurorack. I wanted to see what I could do limiting to a Moog DFAM case (60HP). I set the cameras up hoping to capture something. Here is that moment everything came together. All sounds are coming from 2 modules. The Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas and Hexinverter's Mutant Bass Drum. The Mutant Bass Drum is providing the kick. They are being sequenced by the Mutable Instruments Grids and Animodule TiKTok."

Self-Generative Modular #3

Self-Generative Modular #3 from Kial on Vimeo.

"A self-generative modular patch that is driven by the uScale, Animodule's Tiktok, and the clock and S&H waveform from the TTLFOv2. In this patch the TTLFOv2 provides the main clock source, and voltages used for pitch via the S&H LFO wave. Clock pulses from TTLFO are sent to TikTok to generate gates at the division outs. The main output of the TTLFO, in 0-5V mode, sends voltages to the uScale for quantization. 'Output A' of the uScale is sent to the TTA z3000 VCO, with a free running, unipolar square wave LFO changing the 'shift' value in scale. Sawtooth out of the z3000--->input of the Polaris MMF. LP out of the Polaris--->input of Rings in reverb FX mode--->stereo mixer. MULTI output of Polaris sent to uVCAII, which is controlled by the z4000 EG being triggered at every 4th division. Output of uVCAII---> Malekko MIX--->WMD/SSF DPLR stereo delay--->stereo mixer (subMix6) Waveshaped output of TTA z3000---> Meng Qi LPG, which is controlled by QuBit EON in envelope mode, triggered every 3rd division. Meng Qi DLPG output--->Malekko MIX--->WMD/SSF DPLR. Dixie II, Disting, and RS-80 supply modulation of various parameters on the aforementioned modules with some help from uFold, and ModDemix.....none of these LFOs are clock synced to create a constant evolution of sound."

AniModule TikTok and XXX_OR use Gate as CV to create Complex Rhythmic Melody

Published on Apr 3, 2016 JRock17991

"Check out descriptions and purchase AniModule Here: http://www.animodule.com/
Here's a patch That uses Gates from the TikTok, mixed and XOR'ed, as CV for a quirky and complex little sequence.
Different Multiplications and Divisions are XOR'ed in the XXX_OR then mixed in a Mixer to drive different frequencies in a Lil' Monster VCo via the 2 FM inputs and the 1V/Oct."

Got the TikTok and the XXX_OR driving the melody via the different timing outs on the TikTok XOR'ed and mixed in a MixMan then patched in to the Lil' Monster's FM and 1V/Oct inputs. Then Ran the M1xXOR through a VCA to occasionally add some audio rate FM."

Self Generative Modular

Self Generative Modular #2 from Kial on Vimeo.

"Late night, self-generative patch with some wiggling thrown in for good measure. Here, an LFO from the RS-80 is being quantized by the Disting, while also controlling some other parameters, like the Fold amount. An LFO from the EON is being used to control the RS-80s rate, there is a lot of feedback between the CVs on each module. Therefore, changing the rate of 1 LFO has a large effect on the system."


Self Generative Modular from Kial on Vimeo.

"Finally got some white noise in my Eurorack system, thanks to Qu-Bit's EON, and was able to make my first self generative patch.

This patch utilizes the white noise mode on Qu-Bit's EON, white noise is sent to ES Disting in 'Quantize' mode. Quantization is being gated by Animodule's TikTok (which also sends a slower pulse to the VCA you hear opening) The Disting out 'A' is sent to Dixie's 1v/oct in. Dixie's sine out--->uFold In. With EON random trigger being sent to Fold CV. uFold--->uVCA--->uJack--->Digitech's Polara--->MOTU 896HD.

The pulse you hear at the end is the 'zig-zag' out of the Dixie--->DSM01 Curtis Filter (filter CV modulated by Tiptop Audio Z4000)--->uVCA--->uJack"

Modular Jam #17 - Beats & Pieces

Published on Oct 23, 2014 DivKidMusic

"So here's my latest patch that I've been jamming with and trying things out. As always fire away with any questions in the comments and hit subscribe for more videos every week! Full patch notes below.

Part 1
An intellijel Dixie triangle wave is sent to the AniModule V9a and scaled with the on board offset and attenuator to create some pendulum style sequencing with the VC input for the V9a (as opposed to clock input). The CV output from the 9 steps are sent to an RYO AmpMix for simple attenuation and then scaled back before going to an ADDAC 207 Quantizer. The quantizer output goes into a Mutable Instruments Braids 1v/octave input with automatic triggering for the DRUM mode. The quantizer's trigger output go into a Mutable Instruments Branches to inject some random movement not always passing the triggers through the same output and output A goes into a Mutable Instruments Peaks is envelope mode sends an ADSR to Braids colour modulation input. Braids Timbre is modulated by a Frequency Central System X Sample & Hold which is clocked from an AniModule TikTok receiving it's clock from the VC sequence generated on the V9a. Braids output goes into a Mutable Instruments Ripples filter with cut off modulation from the System X Sample & Hold and the second channel of Peaks in TapLFO mode. The TapLFO function receives it's clocked from the TikTok module. The Ripples 2 pole low pass output goes into a Make Noise Echophon with the mix amount modulated by a Bubblesound uLFO's shaped sine output. The Echophon's pitch depth is modulated from a second quantizer channel playing the same sequence as the original pitch sequence going to Braids. The Echophon's echo time is modulated from the System X Sample & Hold as well. The main clock for the Echophon is the AniModule TikTok. The Echophon's freeze function is from the uLFOs pulse output. Finally the Echophon's output goes into an Erica Synths Polivoks mixer module.

Part 2
A second Intellijel Dixie's sine output goes into a Bubblesound VCA4p with FM modulation on the Dixie from a Doepfer Quad ADSR with the same envelope modulating the amplitude on the VCA4p. The VCA4p output goes into a Doepfer A-199 spring reverb with the output going into a Synthrotek EKO module which has echo time modulation from the uLFOs shaped sine output (also modulating the Echophon for Part 1). The EKO output then goes into the Polivoks mixer.

Part 3
The AniModule TikTok sends a clock into the 4ms RCD and SCM and 4 outputs are mixed in a Doepfer A-151 sequential switch with a slower clock division triggering the switching. This pattern is sent to a the second channel on Branches which is randomly "coin tossing" the outputs so every trigger doesn't pass and that output goes to a WMD multi mode envelope which is modulating an Erica Synths Polivoks filter with the Polivoks modulator's noise output at the input. This then goes into the third channel on the Polivoks mixer.

The Polivoks mixer is a sub mix that is added to with the output going through a Livewire Frequensteiner filter with modulation in HP mode from the System X Sample & Hold. The Frequensteiner output then goes to an RYO Vertmix (for further mixing). The Vertmix also has a second channel which is Neutron Sound Orgone Accumulator set to a noisy wave going into the AniModule SOB with steady 16th note trigger (the slight variation in the V9as output due to the original triangle wave at the VC input is most apparent here) to the CV inputs. The Vertmix finally outputs to a second A-199 spring reverb before going to my soundcard.

Manually wiggling was of the SOB filter cut off and CV modulation depth for the noise. The Braids tuning for Part 1 DRUM mode, the Polivoks mixer levels and the FX mix amounts.

I also used the AniModule LogicOgic for AND, FlipFlop and OR functions to mix and combine triggers from the 3 parts and TikTok clock divider/multiplier before hitting Branches."

"Using the MPC1000 to: trigger the envelope to drive the V9a Sequencer(every measure) and get some sick PWM on the Lil' Monster, trigger the TikTok Clock Divider / Multiplier(every 1/8 note) and play some drum samples in to the XXX_OR (via the Line In / Line Out on the TrAniModule)for some mangulation.
Just used the first Cycle and a half of a Kick drum sample as the trigger.
It was easy to set up and I didn't need any buffering to get the triggers to work. I ran them out the Sub Outputs so so they didn't interfere with the audio coming out of the Main Stereo Out.

Real pleased with the results :)"
