COTK C964 Ratchet Sequencer Modified For Voltage Control

Published on May 5, 2015 John L Rice

"A short demo of the resulting usefulness of the somewhat ugly modifications I did to my Club Of The Knobs C964 module.

Note: this isn't a modification beginners should undertake. CV inputs need to be limited to less than +5v or the MCU chip will be damaged!"

ELECTRIBE 2 & EMX-1 DISCUSSION - Part C : ARPEGGIO ROLL STEP JUMP etc,

Published on May 5, 2015 VJ FRANZ K

"Was the EMX arp. pad better? My most wanted 'Firmware Update' for the Electribe 2 ! ( We're critical because we love these machines, and want them run their best! ; - ) A 'roll' or 'beat repeat' would be great on the pads also. 'Step Jump' is great, but could be improved, and "Active Step" added... Much more discussion here - what do YOU think?"

Side note: parts A & B are not live yet but should follow in time.

Vectr Firmware 2 0 Feature Demo

Published on May 5, 2015 Matt Heins

"In this video, I introduce the new features added to Vectr in the 2.0 firmware release. The changes in firmware 2.0 are centered around improving Vectr's ability to synchronize recording, playback, and overdubbing with the rest of your modular system. I also made a number of improvements to Vectr's firmware which result in a better, snappier, and all around better experience.

These changes are all in addition to Vectr's existing feature set. Look back at some of my earlier videos for a complete rundown of the Vectr basics."

iTunes: Rhythm Necklace - Geometric Sequencer - Sam Tarakajian

"Rhythm necklaces are circular representations of repeating patterns. They’ve found application in fields as varied as Crystallography, Radio Astronomy, Nuclear Physics, and Ethnomusicology. When applied to musical rhythms, circular representations show the underlying geometric properties that make them enjoyable, such as the degrees of evenness and symmetry. Computer scientist Godfried Toussaint has found that analyzing rhythms geometrically reveals surprising relationships between rhythms the world over. In fact, Toussaint has shown how a core group of geometric algorithms can generate rhythms employed in African, Cuban, Balkan, and Spanish folk music, to name a few. The Rhythm Necklace iOS app is a musical sequencer for exploring the geometry of rhythm necklaces, and for experimenting with generating rhythms algorithmically.

Rhythm Necklace is made by Meara O'Reilly and Sam Tarakajian.

"See music from a new perspective with Rhythm Necklace, the playful yet powerful tool for improvisation and composition. Tap, flip and rotate simple shapes to explore complex polyrhythms. Gestural control of beat distribution algorithms allows for the step-by-step generation of rhythmic shapes. Layer intricate beats in a matter of minutes, then save them for later or export to MIDI.

- Build rhythms on up to four necklaces.
- Adjust the length of each individual cycle to quickly create complex rhythmic ratios
- Use a collection of rhythm building algorithms and geometric transformations to create and morph your rhythm.
-Tap your tempo, use a slider for transitions, or manually type the global speed of your song
- Choose from a variety of pitched sounds and percussive sample sets.
- Quickly modulate between notes in four musical modes (pentatonic, major, minor, chromatic) and five octaves.
- Customize the attack and panning of sounds to suit your composition
- Save your sessions and export them as midi.
- E-mail copies of midi sessions to yourself. These can be opened and edited on most DAWs.
- Midi in/out allows you to fully customize your sounds and record your compositions in real time within an external DAW environment.

The term ‘rhythm necklace’ is used in music to refer to circular representations of repeating patterns. By thinking about rhythms as shapes rather than a linear timeline, it’s easier to see geometric properties that make them enjoyable, such as evenness and symmetry. Often, even subtle changes to the visual interface can completely transform how a rhythm sounds. Rhythm Necklace is a tool for both advanced and novice musicians alike, as well as anyone who wants to think about rhythms in a new way."
