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.

A bassline with the Korg MS-20 mini / KR-55

Published on Jul 18, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"This demo features the Korg MS-20 mini synthesizer, Korg KR-55 analog drum machine, Korg SQ-1 sequencer and Ace Tone MP-44 mixer (w/ spring reverb).

The Korg KR-55 is sending a sync trigger to the SQ-1 which is sequencing the MS-20 mini. The drum machine and synth are mixed on an Ace Tone MP-44 mixer and the mixer's spring reverb is being used on the MS-20 mini and the KR-55 occasionally. The mixed signal is then recorded on my PC with a Roland Super UA audio interface."

"Here is a very basic explanation of how the parametric aspects of the Korg Volca FM can be used. Remember, you're getting this from an analog guy! If you're a skilled FM user, you're probably going to find this amusing. If you're new to FM, you'll probably find it helpful!"

Modular Expedition 24 - A Game of Quidditch

Published on Jul 17, 2016 Modular Landing

"Amazing things you can do with Clouds! This music was made on a modular synthesizer and centers around the following modules:
Pamela's workout as main clock, clocking Brains/PP and the Rene, which is sequencing the Dixie.
Dixie self-patched with Sub into PWM and Triangle out into FM2 in.
PP row 1 is going into FM1 of the Dixie to transpose it. PP rows 2 and 3 into Echophon Feedback and Echo inputs.
Dixie output into Echophon. Echophon output into Clouds.
Batumi LFO's modulating Clouds -- freq input from Pamela's Workout to sync with the main clock.
Clouds is providing the special effects. It is in the Looping Delay (third) mode."
