Tonnetz Sequent as a Modulation Source

Published on Oct 27, 2015 noisythang

"I am old. My hand shakes, my vision blurs. Sorry.
What is this Tonnetz? It generates triads rotating through a triadic space.
But are these not just voltages? Can’t we use these voltage patterns in ways other than pitch? Voltages that rotate? Let’s try a little rotation.
Maybe a little spreading. Is there a repeating pattern? In the end we use one for pitch.
Tonnetz Sequent clocked by Circuit Abby G8
4ms rotating filter kicked by a couple of triggers.
Tonnetz controlling rotation, spread and frequency."

"Saw Wave Through All Three Filters"

Don't lift the synth by that "handle". I'm guessing it's to support sheet music.

"Up for sale is a (1) vintage Korg Sigma KP-30 synthesizer, made in 1979. It's one of the 1000 units ever made. A very interesting synth for leads. You can layer the preset sounds and it has lots of modulation possibilities. With the two joysticks you can control the LP / HP filters, pitch, noise and vibrato. The synth is in good working condition. Optical in very nice condition too with only some little wear and tear on the wooden sides and some minor scratches on it (see photo's). It's an original 220V version with European plug and the serial number is: 242406."
