I was using a bi-polar LFO output from Tides (synced to master clock) which is modulating Survey on 'Mac. This drags the location voltage around (trying to follow Survey, which is modulated by Tides… which is also modulated), and at various points it will trigger the threshold voltage for Chronoblob’s delay.

That’s what I think was happening anyway. As someone else has said on this thread; it seems with 'Mac that you start patching and then end up with it chock full of cables with no idea how you got there :joy:

Ah! I am seeing a way to use the location circuit in combination with a gate, an offset and some creative patching to make an envelope generator where the attack and release stages could have their rates altered by the intensity of an incoming gate signal and a negative offset to control decay rate. Making a note just so I try it tonight when I get home…

Edit: nope not that was worth it, attack was always way too slow

Did Ctrl Mod set up the video for Synthesis Technology or did they do it themselves?
I’ll be watching that YouTube channel like a hawk :smiley:

#223

Sadly this was not streamed. But he did say this is basically a dry run into doing a whole video about cold Mac in the future . :grinning:

Don’t quote me on it though. :sweat:

I do intend to attempt to shoot a full video. I may fail, but I’m going to try!

Ok, didn’t get the envelope I thought I might be able to, the location circuit was just too slow, even with a high offset. I got something that sort of worked, but it took enough maths channels that would better serve as envelopes themselves.

However! Inspired by @mdoudoroff 's recent patch survey video, I patched up a nice w/ looping delay thing with logical audio mixing between my wet and dry signals, and feedback modulated by the survey knob and the follow circuit following the dry signal’s dynamics!!! Fed it a simple sequence and experienced lost time.

Damn you, @mdoudoroff. You’ve pretty much sealed the deal on me buying my first Mannequins module in 2019.

i would suggest just friends first. probably my fav. module ever.

#228

It’s the gift that keeps on giving - the more you look, the more you find.

I’d recommend Cold Mac first. For Reasons.

#230

Ok, here’s a video.

This covers about 90% of what we went through on Wednesday at Control, but does so in about half the time. :slight_smile:

Hope I got it all mostly right!

Oh I have 44 minutes of shear pleasure possibly stumbling into new insights for the Cold Mac.

Class was insightful and informative. Thank you! I am going through the video to reinforce what you taught us and I’m excited about cold mac :slight_smile:

As only being 2 months into modular,
The biggest thing i learned was how normalling worked on Coldmac, and I guess on every module.

EX: when putting a bipolar LFO into FADE, I knew that the SURVEY knob would then be broken from LEFT & RIGHT But for some reason, I thought the survery knob would still effect the off set from where the LFO would modulate from. Its always dead center with a equal bipolar LFO.

this helped simplify Coldmac a little more.

Right! Alternatively, you could connect your LFO into the SURVEY jack, instead, and use the knob to offset the LFO. Moreover, you could also attenuate and offset the LFO in some other module (e.g., MATHS, Triatt, and a zillion others) before connecting to FADE. It all depends what you want to do and how. These are essential fundamentals of modular.
