And what is all the white gunk found on the circuit boards?

Sequencing a modular synthesizer with a tin of beans

Published on Apr 6, 2018 Ubasuteyama

"Decided to create a patch using a tin of Heinz bean.

Patch info:
There's a contact mic attached to the tin of beans which is running into Mutable Instruments Ears to create a gate voltage output. That output is being used as the master clock source to advance various sequencers which are running various other modules.

Divisions of the beans clock source are also being used to create transpositions and trigger various other events."

Before You Know // Eurorack, Squarp Hermod, Plaits, Mangrove, Telharmonic & Plonk

Published on Apr 7, 2018 Lost For Words

"First play/track with the Squarp Hermod. Just a simple single sequence. Recorded directly to cassette. Mastered with Ozone in Reaper. Patch notes below :

All sequencing from Hermod.
Track 1 to plaits in classic waveforms mode with 2nd osc offset. Chance set as an effect on Hermod. Aux output goes to the Tapo delay.
Track 2 pitch only to Telharmonic which drones continuously.
Track 3 to Plonk with ratchet effect
Track 4 is a modulator track sending LFO to Plaits morph
Track 5 to Mother 32
Track 6 is pulse note only to trigger the drum on Peaks LHS
Track 7 is an arpeggio sent to Mangrove. Fast and over 3 octaves. This track runs from the beginning because I'm not using a gate/envelope on the Mangrove. I bring the sound in in via the Erica Synths Black mixer slightly off camera and Maths controls the Three Sisters filter cutoff so it sweeps in and out. Maths is also modulating the panning on the Black mixer. Love this Mangrove sound."

MFOS Ultimate + Expander - Simple Patch Jams

"I've been working a lot out of town, and am finally getting time to play around with the MFOS Ultimate!

Everything you hear is coming from the Ultimate+Expander, recorded live, with a bit of reverb/delay added in from the mixer."

Ambient Modular :: Faraway :: Plaits, Tides, Rings, Clouds, Peaks

Published on Apr 7, 2018 Mike Thomas

"Just a wandering/ambient exploration of some tones from Mutable Instruments new module: Plaits.

Thought I'd try using rotorvideos.com to produce the video for the piece. Pretty cool, but not sure whether I'll use it again.

Patch Notes
==========
Tune is in pentatonic major, set on O_C.

Leading bass tone that becomes weaving bass line is Tides sequenced by O_C with the v/oct sent through Intellijel 1U clock/random/slew. Tides Smooth shaped by the same v/oct signal (attenuated), and Shape by a slow LFO from Peaks.

"Ethereal flute" sound is Clouds in granular mode, playing back a sample of Plaits recorded from this patch. Reverb turned up high, and Position slowly modulated by Peaks. Clouds Frequency manually moved up and down an octave as the piece progresses.

'Plucking percussive mandolin' is Rings sequenced by O_C and "strummed" by Pamela's Workout. Volume modulated by Peaks and Veils.

Main voice is Plaits in Granular Formant Oscillator mode. Main output to 2hp Delay. Aux output to Ripples, with final level controlled by a channel of Peaks. Plaits Level, Timbre and Morph voltage controlled by WMD Mini-Slew in triggered/envelope mode and Harmonic by the v/oct that controls the bass line. Plenty of manual wiggling of these controls as well. Mini-Slew very lightly FM'd by a channel of Peaks, and also manually wiggled to control the envelope in certain sections.

Bass percussion is a TipTop ONE sample.

There's more VC going on here than I've mentioned. In this small-ish 'Mostly Mutable' case I have to mult and/or attenuate my control voltages in order to have enough modulation, so I end up re-using sequence VC as well as using LFOs and random to wiggle various aspects of the patch.

Sounds and submixes all routed to Intellijel Mixup, which sends stereo to 2hp Verb and on to Intellijel uJack module. Thus, in this case 2hp Verb is the final effect. It holds up pretty well, I think. You just have to be careful not to overdrive it, or it will distort.

Piece produced entirely 'in the case'. Recorded direct to digital on a Sony PCMD50 with no effects added."

"Purchased in 1986, single owner, studio use only, very good condition, however, the polyphonic aftertouch feature no longer seems to work. Includes two additional memory cartridges and owner's manual. Very likely all of the batteries used to back up the memory will need to be replaced soon. Shipped in original box with identifying marks covered."

The AT probably does work, you just have to stand on it. The AT in this era of Rolands are notorious for being extremely difficult to coerce out of them. I'm guessing they weren't so when new? It is interesting. I've recently played a CS60 with amazingly subtle and expressive aftertouch and the 60 came out in 1977. The JX-10 was released in 1986.
