Expert Sleepers General CV

"A full track recorded with the General CV module as the main sound source. Full patch notes below.

General CV Track - Composed by Simply Sonic Studios http://www.simplysonicstudios.com

Patch Notes

*** Synth Lead with Cutoff Modulation ***

MODE: VCO
Program: Synth Bass 1

Sequencer
Logic to Microvolt's MIDI to CV converter.

Effects
I used CVToolkit to control two inputs of the General CV. Input 1 was mapped to control the reverb level of the preset, this was modulated by using a LFO. Input 2 was mapped to control the cutoff scale, this was modulated by using a LFO also.

DAW Processing
Soundtoys Echoboy JR, some chorus for stereo widening and some eq to boost mid frequencies.

Brighton Modular Meet - Expert Sleepers General CV

Published on Jul 5, 2017 sonicstate

"The Expert Sleepers General CV module give you direct CV control of the General MIDI sound chip, and the results are quite promising already.

This is a module that we actually saw first at the Superbooth show this year, however as Os has now updated some of the hardware, we thought it would be a good time to get some updates.

Expert Sleepers - General CV // Synthfest 2017

Published on Dec 8, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's a walkthrough the wide range of things that the General CV can do from Expert Sleepers. Os takes us through chords, sound layering, working with chords and inversions, running audio rate drum sounds for a tearing wavetable(ish) kind of sound. Very cool from the show floor at Sound On Sound magazine's Synthfest 2017."

Expert Sleepers General CV - chords

"Messing with the Chord mode on the General CV. All sound from the one module, recorded direct via an ES-8."

via this auction

The General CV is a super powerful CV to MIDI environment capable of generating a wide range of GM sounds for a new way of controlling well known MIDI soundsets. This module is also capable of sending out MIDI allowing you to convert several lines of CV to control your MIDI devices, a rare capability indeed.

This module is in great shape with light rack rash. Includes original box."

Darkroom patch example

Published on Sep 7, 2019 Expert Sleepers

"This clip from Darkroom (https://darkroomtheband.bandcamp.com) demos a variety of Expert Sleepers modules. The whole thing is driven from an FH-2, clocked by the laptop (running Live). The FH-2 is generating Euclidean patterns, LFOs, and running an arpeggiator for one of the synth voices.

The General CV in Chord mode is generating some of the chordal sounds.

Two disting mk4s are being used as crossfaders/LFOs. A third is running in AD envelope mode.

A fourth disting mk4 is playing the voice sample you can hear, chopped up & mangled by LFOs and triggers from the FH-2 and Xaoc Batumi.

Other patch notes - the bass line is sequenced from the Xaoc Moskwa, quantised by the uScale. The VCO for this sound is the Birdkids Bateleur. The voice played by the FH-2 arpeggiator is two Doepfer A-110-1 VCOs. The General CV and disting sample playback are being processed by the Xaoc Belgrad, the Pittsburgh Analog Delay, and the Doepfer A-125 phaser."

Twanger - A Processing and MIDI experiment

Richard Horsman

"Today's experiment. Processing code written where touch screen on Raspberry Pi 4 senses note 'string' twangs and passes them on via MIDI to my modular synth (Expert Sleepers General CV module). Some interaction with Pi's keyboard (not seen) to add strings and change strings' tuning."
