Patch Notes #20 - Electronic Drum Pads w/ 0-Coast & DU-SEQ

Published on Sep 22, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Putting this 16 year old homemade electronic drum pad to work with the DU-SEQ, the Make Noise 0-Coast and the rest of the eurorack system to generate some weird stuff for Patch Notes #20.

The DIY electronic drum pad is patched via RCA to 1/8" cable to the tempo in on the 0-Coast. The clock out is patched to the clock in on the DU-SEQ, which has it's pitch and gate patched back to the 0-Coast. In this configuration, the drum pad is clocking the 0-Coast and the DU-SEQ. The stepped random out on the 0-Coast is multed to the overtone CV input and the slope section time control. The multiply section is modulated by channel 2 on the Ornament & Crime in quadraturia mode. The slope output is routed back the FM input on the oscillator.

The 0-Coast is routed out through the Vintage Synth Lab VCF-74 with boost enabled for some warmth, then on the the Mutable Instruments Warps ping pong delay in the Parasites firmware, which is modulating the delay time with the internal LFO, and then out to the Malekko Mix 4.

The DU-SEQ is in CV address mode which acts like a sample & hold circuit, more on this in a coming video. The stage address is being modulated by a cycling channel on Maths. Maths' both input is in turn being modulated by one of the fluctuating random voltage outputs on the Sputnik Modular West Coast Random Source. One channel on the Malekko Varigate 4 is randomly gating the Ext gate input 1 on the DU-SEQ as well, which is assigned to one of the 8 steps in the sequence. Any time the step is played, the random gate sequence coming from the Varigate is heard until the sequence steps to another note.

The Korg SQ-1 is playing back the bass part on the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, with the morph control modulated by another channel on the Ornament & Crime. The output is routed to the Mix 4.

Braids is droning around, with the pitch modulated by the Make Noise Wogglebug, and the timbre and color modulated by the leftover 2 LFOs on the Ornament & Crime. The output is multed through a buffered mult, and then routed to an input on the Sputnik Modular 4tap Delay as well as one of the crossfader inputs on the 4tap (so we can mix the clean and delayed signals). One of the 1/3 outputs on the delay is routed to the other input on the crossfader, with the second output sent to the Malekko Dual Borg filter in high pass mode, then back to another input on the delay creating a filtered feedback loop. The filter cutoff is being modulated by the cycling Malekko Envelator, while the West Coast Random Source fluctuating random voltage is modulating the delay time. Out from the delay to the Mix 4 with the rest and out.

Warning: Tweaking your modular should be done without drumsticks in hand.

Patch Notes #1 - Euclidean Rhythms with Ornament & Crime

Published on Jun 30, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Our first patch example using an expanded version of the routing used in our previous tutorial exploring Euclidean Rhythms and envelopes in the Ornament & Crime eurorack module.

All 4 Euclidean Rhythm generators in Ornament & Crime are clocked by the Make Noise Tempi, which is also clocking the Wogglebug and the René X and Y clock inputs (at different rates). René is in snake mode, modulating the X CV in with the Wogglebug S&H output, Y CV by the slowly cycling Malekko ADLFO. Four channels from MN Pressure Points/Analog Memory routed to the Ornament & Crime channels modulating Euclidean Fill values on each respective channel.

The 4 channels of Euclidean Rhythms are routed to: Mutable Instruments Braids in Meta mode modulated by René; the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas in a skin/bass mode playing a short, noisy snare; the Roland Scooper which has a noise-based hihat sound whose length is being modulated by another slow ADLFO cycle; the Malekko Envelator which is triggering/modulating a resonant filter Kick in the Malekko Dual Borg. All mixed through a Malekko Mix 4 and then patched through Mutable Warps running Parasites in ping-pong delay mode.

Rhythm control is almost entirely controlled by the 4 channels of Pressure Points, changing the number of filled steps in the generated rhythms from off up to 32 steps.

Patch Notes #22 - Eurorack Sequencer in Ornament & Crime

Published on Oct 5, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Patch Notes #22 explores the Quantermain mode in the polymorphic Ornament & Crime module, a 4 channel Eurorack pitch quantizer with 48 different scales and some amazing hidden features.

Ornament & Crime is in Quantermain mode, of course. Trigger3 and CV3 are receiving cv and clock out from the DU-SEQ, fitting the sequence into an Ionian scale and then out from channel C to the pitch input on the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas. The clock for the sequencer as well as the pattern sequence for the BI are being controlled via Reaktor Blocks and the F1 controller seen in the distance.

The gate out on the DU-SEQ is routed to Mutable Instruments Braids trigger input. Channel D on the O&C is set to Turing Machine mode, instead of receiving pitch cv from another source. This mode randomizes a stepped series of cv voltages, and can freeze a certain number of steps and loop them. This mode is routed out from channel D to Braids. To enable some control over the randomization and looping, I routed a row on Make Noise Pressure Points to CV1 on the O&C and selected CV1 as the voltage source for the channel D Turing probability. A specific step on the PP is selected, so that corresponding knob can be used as a voltage offset, locking the random Turing sequence into a loop.

Braids is then routed out to the Vintage Synth Lab VCF-74, and on to the Mutable Instruments Warps running the Parasites alt firmware in delay mode. So beefy.

Another trigger sequence from Blocks is routed out of the Audio 10 DJ (NOT a DC coupled interface) to the Malekko ADLFO, which is controlling the noise hihat in the Roland Scooper. Yet another sequence is routed to the second channel on the ADLFO, with one envelope routed to the Scooper kick drum (see our Roland Aira Drum Machine tutorials) and a second envelope routed to the FM input on the Tiptop Audio Z-3000. The square wave out is routed to the Make Noise Optomix, which is also being modulated by an envelope on the ADLFO, and then down to the Malekko Mix 4 with the rest.

Patch Notes #9 - Quadrature LFOs with Ornament & Crime

Published on Jul 29, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

More here.

"Here's our latest Patch Notes video using the Quadraturia mode in Ornament & Crime as a set of complex modulation sources in the Eurorack system.

Ornament & Crime is sending output A to the Trigger input on Mutable Instruments Braids, clocking the internal envelope in the Bees in the Trees alt firmware. Output C is routed to the Timbre input, while D is sent to the Color in.

The wave shape is set to something like a sawtooth (around +64), with the spread set to around -40. The LFOs are frequency shifted to -128, creating a natural rhythmic relationship between the waves. Phase modulation is also enabled.

Make Noise Tempi is resetting the O&C LFOs at the Tr1 input, while 2 LFOs from the Triangle and Mayhem outputs of the Malekko Anti-Oscillator are modulating the LFO frequency at CV1 and shape spread into CV3. One channel from Pressure Points is routed to control wave shape as well on CV2.

Braids is in Meta mode, modulated at the FM input via the stepped random out from the Wogglebug. The randomization is being influenced by the CV output from René which also has the QCV routed to control the pitch on Braids.

Tempi is clocking everything, including Brains (and Pressure Points), René and Wogglebug, as well as the Malekko Varigate 4 and the Korg SQ-1.

The SQ-1 is sequencing the pitch and envelope on the Make Noise 0-Coast, which is generating the lead. The Slope section output is routed to the FM input on the Oscillator.

The Hihat is coming from the trusty Roland Scooper noise generator patch, triggered by a cycling Channel 4 on Maths. The off tempo cycle is modulated via the Both input using 4 rows on Pressure Points routed through the Doepfer A-151-2 Sequential Switch, creating a 16 step pattern modulating the rate of the cycling clock. This gives the hihat the offkilter feel.

The Kick is coming from the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas. A pattern from the Varigate is routed to the input on the Malekko Envelator. The two positive output envelopes are routed to trigger the module as well as modulate the pitch to give more punch to the attack.

All routed to the Malekko Mix 4 and out through the Mutable Instruments Warps running the Parasites alt firmware to add some delays.

Patch Notes #7 - Lorenz Attractors With Ornament & Crime

Published on Jul 21, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Patch Notes exploring chaotic voltages generated by Lorenz attractors using the Low Rents mode in Ornament & Crime, a multi-purpose, open source module for Eurorack modular synthesizer.

Ornament & Crime is sending the Lx1 XORed to Rx1 out from channel A to control the Timbre on Mutable Instruments Braids in WTx4 mode, while channel B is sending Lx1 to Braids 1v/Oct input. Braids is quantizing the incoming signal to a Minor Pentatonic scale.

Channel C (set to Ly1) is controlling the Fall time on Make Noise Maths channel 4. Braids is routed to the Mutable Ripples filter and out from the LP4/VCA output, which is being controlled by Maths.

Tempi is clocking René which is sequencing the bass part in the DPO. The final output is routed through MMG and then the Optomix, all from Make Noise. The X-Gate output from René is routed to trigger two envelopes on the Malekko ADLFO, one routed to control the bass channel on the Optomix, the second triggering the other set of 3 envelopes in the ADLFO.

One of the ADLFO envelopes is routed to the DPO Mod Bus Index, giving the bass a bit of grit and grime here and there. Another of the envelopes is routed to the MMG filter cutoff to shape the timbre of the bass.

Tempi is also clocking Brains and Pressure Points, 5 channels from which are routed to the Pitch, Decay, Morph, Fold and Spread inputs on the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, which is generating all of the high frequency percussion. Tempi is also clocking the Wogglebug, which is routed to the BI Harm input.

Patterns are being generated by the Malekko Varigate 4, also clocked by Tempi. Channel A is triggering Maths, the envelope controlling Ripples on random steps, about 50% probability of a note each step. Channel B is controlling the BI, with a slightly lower chance per step than channel A. Channel C is the kick drum pattern, which is coming from the Malekko Dual Borg (as seen in a previous tutorial video). Channel D routed to another envelope on the ADLFO, and then to the Strike input on the Optomix, controlling random plucks of the bass, with different note probability per step, and about 50% chance of repeat per step.

Patch Notes #26 - Generative Eurorack Jam

Published on Nov 25, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Exploring a generative patch using the Ornament & Crime Turing Machine mode along with some slightly randomized drums from the Varigate and some smooth tones from the DPO and Clouds.

The Ornament & Crime is in Quantermain mode, generating a single Turing Machine on channel D, clocked by the Make Noise Tempi and Turing probability modulated by a channel on Analog Memory. Tempi is also clocking Brains and Pressure Points, one channel of the connect Analog Memory module is routed through channel 3 on Maths, and then into the Ornament & Crime CV4 input.


This is the crux of the generative voice. The slowly stepping Analog Memory switches the O&C 100% chance of a randomized value on one step, then around 5% chance on the next step, and 0% chance on the last two steps. This means every 4 bars or so, the phrase is randomized to a degree.

The generative sequence is routed to the Make Noise DPO, onto the MMG filter via the Final output and then to the Optomix. The signal is then passed through Mutable Instruments Clouds running the Parasites firmware in Oliverb mode (updated this easily via the SpektroAudio ALTRNT website), and on to the Malekko Mix4 and out. The Malekko Varigate 4 is triggering an envelope on the AD/LFO, which is opening the Optomix.


Clouds is being heavily modulated. A sine wave LFO from the TipTop Audio Z3000 is modulating the decay time control, while the triangle wave is modulating the pre-delay. The right output from Clouds is fed back into the Z3000 waveshaper input and the sine wave out from the DPO modulation oscillator is routed to the FM input as well, further complicating sine and triangle waves. The stepped and smooth random outputs from the Make Noise Wogglebug are also modulating Clouds reverb size and damping filter respectively.


Tempi is clocking and resetting the Varigate which is already triggering the generative voice. In addition, one channel is triggering the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas which is acting as the snare. The BI is then passed through Mutable Instruments Warps in Parasites firmware delay mode, and out to the Mix4.


The kick and hihat are both sequenced on the Varigate as well, triggering the Roland Scooper via a few envelopes on the ADLFO.


The bass is sequenced via the DU-SEQ (clocked by Tempi), which is playing Mutable Instruments Braids. A looping envelope on the Intellijel Dual ADSR is modulating the Braids color input, giving some motion to the bass tone.

Patch Notes #23 - Quad Turing Machine Mode in Ornament & Crime

Published on Oct 14, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Testing the deeper functions in Quantermain mode in Ornament & Crime, the quad turing machine mode to be precise! This is an extremely useful and exciting module.

A clock coming from Make Noise Tempi, which is sequencing the 0-Coast. The 0-Coast is routed to the Mutable Instruments Warps for some delay through the Parasites alt firmware, and on to the Malekko Mix4.

Tempi is also clocking the Malekko Varigate 4. One channel is triggering the Slope section in the 0-Coast, which is not modulating the 0-Coast, but rather shaping the kick drum routing inside the Roland Scooper which is also routed on to the Mix4.

Another channel on the Varigate is routed to trigger the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas. All 4 channels on the Ornament & Crime are modulating functions on the BI: pitch, decay, morph and fold. All 4 channels are triggered by Tempi at the TR1 input.

Make Noise René is also receiving clock from Tempi, sending it's QCV out to the DPO, and Xgate out to the Malekko ADLFO. The DPO final out is sent to the Optomix, and then out from the mix output to the Mix4. One channel on the ADLFO is routed to the Optomix channel to open LPG, another is controlling FM depth between the oscillators on the DPO.

The Roland System 1m is played live via the Qunexus keyboard, routed out through the Aux input on the Optomix.

Patch Notes #11 - Analog Shift Register with Ornament & Crime

Published on Aug 3, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Patch Notes in the description! Our musical exploration of the Analog Shift Register function in Copier Maschine mode in the marvelous Ornament & Crime DIY Eurorack module.

The Analog Shift Register sequences are being triggered by Make Noise Tempi into the Tr1 input on Ornament & Crime. A channel of Make Noise Maths acts as the S&H CV source routed through the external influence input on the Wogglebug, then out of the stepped random output into the CV1 input on the O&C. Channel A of the O&C is routed to the Sputnik Oscillator, B to the Malekko Anti-Oscillator, C to Mutable Braids, D to the Tiptop Z3000.

All of the oscillators are in tune, each sending a triangle wave out to the Malekko Mix4, which is routed up to Mutable Ripples filter. Out from the LP4 output on Ripples into a channel on the Make Noise Optomix low pass gate. The filter cutoff on Ripples is modulated by the cycling channel 1 on Maths, which in turn is being modulated by the smooth random output from the Wogglebug.

Another channel from Tempi is used to trigger the Intellijel Dual ADSR, which is modulating the Optomix channel in time with the sequence shifting. Channel C on the Malekko Varigate is routed to retrigger the envelope to add some randomized polyrhythmic action to the chords.

The bass is coming from the Make Noise DPO, receiving a 12 step sequence from the Korg SQ-1 which is being clocked from Tempi. The Final output is routed through the Make Noise MMG filter in low pass mode, and on to another channel on the Optomix, which is being modulated by an envelope on the Malekko ADLFO (triggered by the SQ1 sequence).

A channel from Pressure Points is routed to the external FM in on the main channel on the DPO, with the four steps tuned to harmonically modulate the sequence when that touchplate is triggered.

The kick is coming from the Malekko Dual Borg/Envelator combo, the snare from the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, and the hihat from the Scooper, both drums routed through the Scooper inputs and out along with the hihat sound. Each pattern is programmed and triggered from the Varigate, which is being clocked and reset by Tempi.

The mix output from the Optomix is routed through the delay in Mutable Warps Parasite firmware.

Patch Notes #5 - Ornament & Crime Harrington 1200 Mode

Published on Jul 13, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Patch Notes from our recent exploration of the Neo-Riemannian chord generating Harrington 1200 mode in the Ornament & Crime Eurorack module.

Tempi is the central clock, first routed to the X clock in on René in snake mode, which is playing back an 8 step pattern. QCV output is routed to CV 1 input on Ornament & Crime as the root note source sequence.

O&C is routed to 3 oscillators, Mutable Braids, Malekko Richter Anti-Oscillator and Sputnik Oscillator, each sending a triangle wave shape through the three channel inputs on the Make Noise Optomix, which is acting as a mixer in this case.

The mixed output is sent to the Make Noise MMG Filter in Low Pass mode and then through another homemade VCA, both modulated by the two envelopes on the Intellijel Dual ADSR.

Tempi is also clocking Pressure Points via Brains, which is controlling chord inversion on the O&C.

Tempi is clocking the Varigate 4 as well, which is routed to trigger a Malekko Dual Borg Filter Kick, a snare in the Basimilus and a hihat in the Scooper. The 4th output is randomizing hits and repeated triggers on the Dual ADSR, to give the chords some more complex rhythmic action.

All of these sounds are mixed through the Mix4, and then through Warps Parasite delays. I think that's it!

"Getting in on the Modular Podcast #3modulechallenge with this Patch Notes. Using 3 of my favorite Eurorack modules, Make Noise DPO, Mutable Instruments Clouds and Ornament & Crime.

Stick with me here, this one is complicated.

The modulation oscillator on the DPO is in LFO mode. The Saw out is routed to clock the TR1 input on Ornament & Crime, which is in Copier Maschine mode. Clouds right audio output is routed to the CV1 input on O&C, as the cv source for the analog shift register.

Channel A on O&C is routed to the DPO 1v/oct input on the main oscillator, and stackable'd to the Clouds position CV input as well. Channel B is routed to the fold section CV in. Channel C is routed to Clouds density CV in. Channel D into the Clouds 1v/oct input.

DPO modulation oscillator triangle wave output is routed to the Clouds right channel input. The sine wave out is patched to the angle section CV in. The expo FM input is set to 3 o'clock, linear FM to noon. The FM bus is set to 1:30.

The main oscillator sine out is stackable'd out to the shape section CV input, and fed back into the main oscillator expo FM input. The square wave output is patched to the Clouds texture CV input, and the Final output is patched the Clouds left input channel.

Clouds is in granular processing mode, and is routed out through the Malekko Mix4 for volume control and recorded clean into the Native Instruments Audio 10.

Patch Notes #6 - Korg SQ-1 As Eurorack Sequencer

Published on Jul 18, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Patch Notes for our recent video on using the SQ-1 as a USB MIDI to CV Converter. However, the SQ-1 is not performing that function here, instead sequencing and clocking the Eurorack system.

The SQ-1 is sending pitch and gate CV from the channel A outputs to the Make Noise 0-Coast, which is playing the 16 step plucky melodic riff. The channel B gate CV out is routed to the Varigate 4, which is sequencing the kick drum generated by the Malekko Dual Borg filter (see our relevant tutorial video).

The Sync Out is routed to the Make Noise Tempi, which is in turn sending clocks to the Make Noise René, Brains, Wogglebug and finally, the Ornament & Crime (in Piqued mode).

René is sending pitch CV to a buffered mult, which splits the signal to the Make Noise DPO playing the bass, routed through the MMG and Optomix, with one looping LFO from the Malekko ADLFO controlling the filter cutoff.

The mult also routes to Mutable Braids in WTx4 mode (tuned a perfect 5th up from the bass) which is playing the chords/pads. Braids Timbre is being modulated by an internal LFO, part of the Bees in the Trees alt firmware.

Brains is clocking Pressure Points and Analog Memory, 5 channels of which are modulating the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas pitch, attack, morph, harm and spread settings, while the Wogglebug is modulating decay and fold amounts, providing the glitchier drum elements.

Another channel from Pressure Points is routed to CV input 4 on the Ornament & Crime, modulating the Euclidean fill amount on the rhythms that are triggering the BI.

All channels are then routed through the Malekko Mix4, and then through Mutable Warps running Parasite firmware in ping pong delay mode.

Aside from the pitch and gate CV coming from the SQ-1, the 0-Coast is internally patched. The stepped random voltage source is multed, and routed to both the Contour decay length and Slope time. The triangle LFO from the MIDI B CV port (see our 0-Coast Hidden LFOs video) is routed to the Overtone input. Finally the Slope output is routed to the FM input on the Oscillator.

Patch Notes #18 - Reaktor Blocks w/ DU-SEQ & Make Noise 0-Coast

Published on Sep 4, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Patch Notes #18 goes Techno, using user created modules in Reaktor Blocks to sequence and randomize drum triggers and notes through the Traktor Audio 10 to a Eurorack system.

Reaktor is running a couple of downloaded modules from the Reaktor User Library, including the Maschine Sequencer Block (an altered version of it, built to operate with the Traktor F1 controller) and the Turing Machine 1.0. These are both clocked by an internal clock module. The first 4 channels on the Maschine Sequencer are routed to a Gates & Trigs module, where the gates are converted to triggers, and then out to physical outputs 3-6 on the Audio 10.

The F1 acts as an 8 channel 16 step sequencer (only using 4 channels) with Euclidean Rhythm generating functions assigned to 3 of the knobs on one control page. The 4th knob is assigned to control the swing amount of the clock module. On the second page, the knobs are assigned to control the Turing Machine functions, so randomized sequences can be looped and lengthened.

The first channel is routed to the Scooper kick drum, the 4th to the Scooper hihat (as seen in our Roland Aira Modular Drum Machine video). The 3rd channel is routed to the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas for snare-ish business, and the 4th is clock the DU-SEQ sequencer, which is sending CV and Gate to the Make Noise 0-Coast.

The Turing Machine in Blocks is routed directly out into the pitch input of the MIDI Out module. The randomized sequence is converted to MIDI notes, and sent through Mutable Instruments Yarns and then out via CV and Gate to the Make Noise DPO, and the Intellijel Dual ADSR. The DPO Final output is routed to the Optomix, which is being opened and closed by the Dual ADSR.

The Ornament & Crime is in Quadraturia mode, generating 3 LFOs. Two of these are routed to the morph and fold functions on the BI, another routed to the Shape function on the DPO. The Korg SQ-1 is in random mode, altering the hihat decay length.

The DU-SEQ is playing a complex pattern with 2 steps assigned to external gate 1, rather than the clocked signal from Blocks. The clock out is routed to the Malekko Varigate 4. Channel 1 on the Varigate is routed to the external gate 1 on the DU-SEQ, with an 8 step sequence (acting like a clock) and randomized repeats for interesting gating on that channel. Another channel is clocking the 0-Coast tempo in, with a third Varigate channel triggering the slope section (which is modulating the multiply amount). The stepped random section is routed to the voltage math section, then split and on to contour decay and overtone amount.

Patch Notes #2 - 0-Coast Hidden LFOs

Published on Jul 3, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Here's a patch example using the hidden LFOs and other functions in the Make Noise 0-Coast synth as the main voice, with another Euclidean Rhythm based drum part with the Ornament & Crime.

The 0-Coast is the melodic voice, sweeping between the clean triangle wave shape and the additive, overtone shape from time to time.

The note sequence is coming from the René, which is being clocked by Tempi to the X clock and a slower odd tempo to the Y clock from Tempi via the Wogglebug, which is also sending slewed random voltages to the Y CV in. Then the gate from René is routed to the Contour (ADSR envelope) section, which controls the Dynamics (VCFA). The sustain is turned down in the Contour section, resulting in a basic attack/decay envelope, with the decay time modulated by the triangle wave LFO from the MIDI B CV output (as covered in the related tutorial).

The Slope (cycling AD envelope) section has cycle disabled, and is being triggered at an audio rate by the Oscillator square wave output. The rise and fall times are set to zero, and the vari-response knob is set to exponential, creating an extremely short envelope shape. The Slope output is then routed into the Oscillator FM input. The Stepped Random output is sent through the signal mult to the Oscillator Multiply attenuverter, while the square wave hidden LFO is routed to the Overtone attenuator.

Tempi is also clocking the Ornament & Crime, which is running 3 channels of Euclidean rhythms to a kick in Braids, a snare with the Basimilius Iteritas, and a hihat in the Scooper, with the Euclidean fill amount on each sequence modulated by the three channels on Pressure Points clocked from Brains.
