Using Tattoo's Randomization Features

YouTube via AudioDamage001 more
"This tutorial shows how the various randomization features in Tattoo (and there are a lot of them) interact. It may seem complex at first, but a little experimentation goes a long ways in this regard.

Tattoo is available at http://www.audiodamage.com"

Video to sound

Video to sound from Matthijs van Henten on Vimeo.

"This video shows my first steps towards a real-time video-to-sound conversion.

The color-tracker was created using Python and OpenCV, using a basic contour tracker on a thresholded HSV channeled image. For each blob, a histogram is calculated.

The most prominent Hue value is then taken as input for the base tone. Information about the size of the contour and it's position is used to manipulate amplitude.

Future steps may include the use of Saturation values to influence the type of sound and an improved audio synthesis.

The sound was made using a simple Pure-data patch.

Toppobrillo SPORT MODULATOR

via Toppobrillo:

"each section can be:

either:
a VC lag that can be made to hold-state on command. also can be put into cycle mode as well, giving a wide-range VC linear triangle LFO that ranges from around 500-600 Hz to 30 seconds or so per cycle.

or:

a sample and hold with controllable input slew [or sample 'correlation' ] the control input is the same. ['s/h' in the drawing].

when cycle is selected in Hold mode, the section will generate complex staircase waveforms that are synced to input pulses.. [BTW the input signal doesn't have to be a pulse, but just about any rising slope, this was done to allow for even more inter-compatibility between the 2 sections.]

finally, the unlabeled jack in the middle is a gate output that compares the top section's output with the bottom. this was heavily inspired by the serge 'smooth/ stepped generator' but expands on it by offering dual mode operation , much wider control range and improved functionality."

SHIFT LATCH SLOPE

YouTube via wonkythomas
"Psuedo Random bit from the CGS Digital Noise sets a latch & triggers the Voltage Controlled Slope which resets the latch. 808 bass clone booms into the Bi-N-Tic switched capacitors & is smashed to pieces by the Wave Multiplier. 2 VCOs are modulated & modulate.

This noodle started off testing a little cct. I pieced together to give me End Of Cycle pulses from my fixed Attack, Decay generators... it works really well! & also produces a nice offset & inverted version of the envelope! 2 FOR 1!! I love a bargain me!

The rapid fire pitch modulations, or, 'big stoopid gabba-ish kick drums' were created by feeding my CMOS Binary Multiplier Pattern Generator (the one with the green LED & red/blue capped switches) into a Frequency Divider via the Blacet Binary Zone clock input / output. The BZ senses tiny fluctuations in the input signal & amplifies the crap out of them which in turn get chopped up by the /1.5 & /3 outputs of the Divider. Note; the pattern changing the pitch (slowly) is the same pulse signal creating the (super fast) pitch modulation 'kick drums'

More 2 for 1!!!!!"

Analog Synth Noodle - Klee Sequencer in Random Mode w/External load.

YouTube via bchris1776

"This is my DIY Analog Synth 'noodling' - that is, playing on its own in real time. This is a simple patch - despite what it may look like from the cords. I'm only using a very small part of the modular for this one.. and I still have patch cords left. I usually keep plugging things together til I'm out of cords - or plugs. :p
I have the Electro-Music Klee sequencer in random mode and it's using the External Load - That's the 'lead' part you hear. The sequencer on the 'bench' is a version of the Baby 10 I've been putting together. A sample and hold (using a noise source) is changing the resonance on the filter for the lead part. Drums are Ken Stones (CGS) design - ringing oscillators, The CGS Pulse Divider clocked by the CGS Gate Sequencer is creating the beat. I'm using VCA's to mix things in and out every now and then - including the 'sliding' notes from the Klee, and some doubling of the lead part.
Modulars are just fun."
