@coreyr @Jonny yup that did the trick! Thanks

#391

could you elaborate on how MN Rosie can work in this way? THanks,

#392

Rosie has stereo outputs, which preserves the stereo mix. It also has two mono inputs, which are added into the stereo output mix, and can be cross-faded. The two mono inputs are shared across the stereo field, but technically, Rosie does what @shellfritsch was talking about…

Was messing around with a feedback patch using CM, 3S, and Mangroves, when this started happening. The rhythmic changes are me patching from CM follow out into various sisters and mangrove inputs.

Here’s a study I did in patch surveillance. By mapping several dimensions of musical expression to a single knob, dramatic control of the entire music experience is possible with minimal manual control.

Cold Mac / → René Y CV [changes melody]
Cold Mac \ → Warps delay time modulation (attenuated by Quadratt) [changes the echos]
Cold Mac half wave up → Tides FM [changes the rhythm a little]
Cold Mac half wave down → reverb modulation [changes space]
Cold Mac full wave rectifier → plaits voice AM & DPO fold modulation [changes dynamics]
Cold Mac fold → Plaits morph & DPO shape [changes timbre]
Cold Mac survey → reverb modulation [changes space, but only around when the knob is turning]

Further patch notes in the YouTube description.

Thanks for sharing this @praffensperger! Just got my Cold Mac last week and I keep finding interesting ideas in this thread. I find patches sharing a mix of audio and CV processing can be quite fascinating. Mixing cross-fading with waveform manipulations yields very natural transitions between sounds. Lovely module so far!

What if there was a “dark mode” Cold Mac that had eight different but more spooky function transfers? A set of nightmarish voltages that reflect our current social and political climate. (Of course preserving Survey and Normalization because those are the core elements.)

I’d buy a module that had Survey control over eight different random voltage sources, or better yet a mixture of audio rate and CV voltages. Wogglebug with Survey, if you will.

sounds like you want an ochd hard patched to a random step, throw some mutes on there while you’re at it :stuck_out_tongue: the idea of the macro control can be applied to so many with musical results. how bout we call it “hot mode” tho hehe

I feel like NLC’s Let’s Splosh is a good start at something like that.

:bulb:maybe i should reverse my Let’s Mac patching and make it a Cold Splosh :bulb:

Is anyone else experiencing issues with static noise when turning the Survey knob? If you patch audio through it and start turning it the issue is particularly audible (e.g. when using the module as a crossfader). It started about a month ago for me, and it seems to just be getting worse with time. I tried getting rid of potential grime by rapidly turning the knob, but it didn’t really do anything. Any idea?

I think this is inherent to the design of the module. Plugging a dummy cable into slope(in) should make it better. I’ve found that plugging dummy cables into left(in) and right(in) can also help sometimes.

The pot can get dirty and scratchy over time. I’d shoot mannequins an email. It is a fairly straightforward part swap, but the direct replacement is not always easy to find, I think mannequins has them made to order in large batches. Also, doing the repair yourself is very possible but I assume no responsibility for suggesting it…

I just replaced a dirty potentiometer on my Three Sisters and this is the pot I used: https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/alpha-9mm-pots-dshaft/ (B10K - D shaft - Alpha Vertical 9mm Potentiometer).

Thats funny mine has just started to do a similar thing, I have found that its more noticable when i first turn my system on after I move the knob abit it seems to go… Was going to leave it to see if it was just some grime or somthing and if it would clean itself up. Possibly wishful thinking, do you guys think this will only get worse over time? I have seen some videos of people spraying contact cleaner into pots on guitar amps to clean up the crackle, is this worth trying?

Mouser was out-of-stock when I checked recently, but Thonk seems to have them in-stock. I ordered ~20 a couple weeks ago and they just arrived.
