Random Sequence Lengths

video upload by boxoftextures

Follow-up to this post.

"So I was minding my business the other day and checking out Matrixsynth.com, as one does, and came across a post about a video from OZ Hall. He had patched up a Eurorack version of a 960 sequencer so it would vary the sequence lengths. I hadn't even watched the video yet but just from what was in the description I was able to see the whole setup laid out before my eyes. I could make this work in Voltage Modular with randomized sequence lengths picked automatically each time through the sequence. So I set to work and an hour late I had this patch, and in this video I go through it step by step to show how it all works.

The major difference between my version and what OZ Hall did is that I added a Random Task module and a couple of switcher modules so it could switch sequence length on its own without me having to manually do it. Could totally be done in hardware given the proper modules, of course.

To make this work what I've done is to connect each sequencer step's trigger output jack to an input on a switching module. Then, every time the sequencer hits step 1 it sends a clock to the Random Task module, which makes it pick a random voltage. That gets sent to the 1x8 Switch module which picks the output based on the voltage level. That voltage gets sent to the switching module which sends a voltage for the chosen step into the buss module and then on to the trigger input of the sequencer, forcing it to start over from step 1.

So every time the sequencer hits step 1 it essentially picks the step which triggers the reset to step 1 and you get random sequence lengths, picked by the Random Task.

So I'd like to thank both Matrix and OZ Hall, and there are links below to both the post on Matrixsynth.com and to the YouTube video that set all the bells off in my head.

Lastly, just to make this super clear as I don't explicitly bring it up in the video, say you want to have a four step sequence. In that case, you'd want to patch the output jack of step 5 to the input jack of step one, What we're doing with the switching mechanism is having *all* the output jacks connected at once through the buss but we're letting the Random Task module choose which switch it closes on the switching module to let one of those signals through. So in a sense we're using a module to repatch the bottom row of jacks on the sequencer on the fly.

GRP R24 Sequencer - Performance Rig #shorts

video upload by O.Z. Hall

"This is a demo of the R24 sequencer. I wanted a portable sequencing solution that was fun to play. I mounted the GRP R24 sequencer in a Synthesizers.com QCP22 Portable Cabinet. I have a number of modules, including the new Synthesizers.com Q169 and Q168 Oscillator++ Combo, providing oscillator/env/amp as well as raw noise. I've also got two Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP modules, a well as bandpass filter, VCA, mixers, etc.

There are 4 voices total. Here are the voices in order of 'introduction':
1) Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP in voice/delay mode. CV/Gate from R24 Row 1.
2) The Q169 oscillator 1 processed through the Swiss Daisy DSP for VCF/VCA/ADSR. CV/Gate from R24 Row 2.
3) The Q169 oscillator 2 set to a noise waveform and processed through the Q169 VCA 2/AD envelope. Gate from R24 Row 2.
4) The noise from the Q168 is processed through a VCA/ADSR. The timbre is modulated by a multimode filter (mostly bandpass). Filter CV/Gate from R24 Row 3.

I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed making the video!"

"This is my first Jam for...well, for years, so I recently put together a 'Jam Station' consisting of my Modular and based around the MPC. I've kind of clicked a little with the MPC now and this is my first attempt. Some dodgy timing, but hey...I just wanted to record it so I could move on to something else."

This was a fun pack to make! A friend of mine named Jessie, who's in a band called Sugarskull Piledriver/Choosy Moms, has been playing the saw for a little while. I requested at one of their gigs that he bring his saw with him, so I could sample it. We went to the basement of the club and got a few quick samples, and I was able to make some pretty crazy sounding Ableton instruments out of it, that range from haunting to plucky. I dont know if you would always think it was the saw as you hear them, but its definitely a unique quality nonetheless. Hope you enjoy it! I've been having fun playing around with them and creating some atmospheric ethereal sounds. This jam was whipped up using only the Ableton Saw instruments and a drum rack."

Busy Basics - Building Basslines

video upload by ALM TV

"Creating a simple bass line is great starting point for learning the fundamental elements of patching a modular synth. In this video tutorial, we take it one step at a time, starting with building the bass voice itself, then sequencing it from a MIDI keyboard.

SECTION TIME STAMPS:
00:00 - Intro
00:29 - Oscillator
01:38 - Filter
02:49 - Envelope
05:22 - VCA
07:47 - Sequencing

Thanks for watching!"

Busy Basics - Building Basslines - PART II

"In this second part of Building Basslines, we expand on the original patch from part I, taking a step by step look at a few more advanced techniques to add personality and greater functionality to the patch. This includes using pulse width modulation to add movement, mixing oscillator waves for a thicker sound, adding a second envelope for greater control, and sequencing from within the system using Pamela’s NEW Workout.

SECTION TIME STAMPS:
00:00 - Intro
00:33 - Pulse Width Modulation
01:50 - Mixing Waves
03:15 - Using Two Envelopes
05:39 - Internal Sequencing"
