PV44 playing chords on the Acid Rain Technology Chainsaw (patched sequencer out of logic modules)

video upload by XODES

"After discussing how to use PV44 to create chords lately, it felt like showing it actually can be done may be more efficient than long messages.

It all started with some cheesy Wham Christmas song programmed on a Beatstep Pro for which PV44 made chords out of a monophonic CV signal.

Instead, and even if it may not make much sense to most, it looked more interesting to demonstrate a sequencer patched from scratch on the same occasion!

In this short example a sequencer is patched from existing and forthcoming logic/switch based modules that create control signals for PV44 and triggers for the drums sounds.

A single clock passes through a shift register and trigger skippers to create multiple trigger sequences.

A switch alternates between 2 voltages and goes to the PV44 modulation input. The A/B/C outputs control the Acid Rain Technology chainsaw's 3 CV inputs through some quantizer to play different chords."

PV44 (finally) meets the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter!

video upload by XODES

"PV44 was designed a couple of years ago in order to make multiple sounds out of a single percussion synthesizer.

So when Noise Engineering announced they have to discontinue a couple of their modules including BIA, there was no doubt it had to be added to the modules collection!

While exploring the sonic capabilities of a limited combination of modules, this happened.

A Beatstep Pro sends 3 triggers to PV44 via the drums channel. The gate signal from sequencer 1 goes to the last PV44 trigger input, while the CV goes to the modulation input in order to play a synth sound.

SS14, our sequential switch is used to route the audio out of BIA to a modified Pico DSP running a Vertigo DSP card from SSSR thanks to our 2HP BCI add-on Labs when the synth sound is played."

Eurorack Sequential Switch | XODES SS14

video upload by DANIELE

"XODES SS14 is a bidirectional sequential switch with some special features!

0:00 Intro
0:20 Clock, I/O and O/I
1:20 Loop and random switch
1:40 Reset input
1:53 Creating new sounds
2:44 Kicks and sweeps
3:17 Switching between different filters"

XODES SS14

Great for adding movement and variety to your patches, Xodes' SS14 is a rock-solid, one-to-four sequential switch that can run in either direction. Clocked via an external input, the SS14 determines the size of the sequence based on the largest O/I step used—ranging from one to four steps. You can reset the sequence for consistent downbeats via the reset input, and switching the mode from loop to random offers a more unpredictable and non-repetitive sequence. Including jumpers on the rear to normalize multiple of the O/I jacks, the SS14 is a fantastically compact tool for creating sequenced modulation and timbres or even sequenced sequences!

SS14 FEATURES
1-4 sequential switch
Bi-directional operation
Sequence length is determined via greatest O/I used (1/2/3/4 steps)
Clock and reset inputs for running and restarting the sequence
Mode toggle determines if the sequence loops sequentially or randomly
Rear triple jumper allows normalization within the O/I jacks (1>2 / 2>3 / 3>4)
Open screw slots ensure compatibility with both Intellijel and Pulp Logic 1U formats
