Clock 2 CV

YouTube via wonkythomas
"Main Clock goes to Odd Divider (D)Mux, /2 goes to Even Div. (D)Mux. Control inputs are from /16 & /32 of the main clock.

2 outs from each of the Div. Muxes are fed into mixers, combined & drive a VCOs CV input.

In addition to straight clock divisions being mixed together, 2 of the demultiplexed Odd Divisions are being OR'd together, this combination is being slewed by an Oakley Lag & a VCS with the former controlling timbre & the latter being mixed into the Pitch CVs.. this is where the bendy notes come from.

The timbral modulation is just the Volatage Controlled Waveform of the Blacet VCO."

Clock 2 Seq

"Same as before, but now Odd & Even Divider (D)Muxes are being controlled by seperate sets of divisions of the main clock & the CV created by mixing the various pulses together is being quantized by a Miniwave.

Its much like a Binary Zone... but with a differant feel because of the odd divisions.

The cam. is sitting in front of the breadboarded output / LED buffers for the Odd Divisions; the green & red are straight off the demultiplexer, the purple is the OR of two of the other outputs."

Clock Seq CV Reset

" Another VCO is added, both are getting the same Quantized Pitch CV.

After about 30secs I don't alter the mix of pulses, but, there is one important addition to this patch, in fact one of my favourite techniques at the moment.

I tap off the Pitch CV & feed that into a 2 Bit ADC which takes a 0-10V signal & outputs two digital signals depending on the voltage. These two digital outs control the Reset Inputs on the Divider (D)Mux modules. So:

CV = 0V; neither Divider is reset,
CV = ~2.5V; the Even Divider is reset,
CV = ~5V; the Odd Divider is reset,
CV = ~7.5V & Both are reset.

After about 45secs into this vid I start altering the Offset voltage for the ADC, this voltage is combined with the incoming CV (our mixed down & quantized clock pulses) so the CV sequence changes the CV sequence = hours of fun for the whole family... so long as your family likes poppers & wigging out to squiggly voltages XD"

Clock Seq End Drum

"On & On... bass drum being triggered by the VCS End Out Pulse.

Shows the CV to Digital module in action; the Red & Green LEDs which flash more or less depending on whats happening with the sequence. Everything interacts with everything now. Change one of the amounts of Divided / Multiplexed / DeMultiplexed clocks being mixed into the quantizer & the divisions change, which changes what gets mixed in... happy mediums are arriveed at, iterations occur, wobble & drum are interlinked....

.... sometimes it might even sound musical!"

"Video from Handmade Music Austin #3, Dec. 20th 2009. At this workshop 13 people built the free project, Mini Space Rockers. After that we witnessed live electroacoustic sound by Lustigovi. And then 19 people built the upper division project, Andromeda Mk-4 Analog Bass Drum. And last there was an open jam with DIY bassline and drum machines from this workshop series, plus acid lines from a MIDIbox SID."
