No dice unfortunately :expressionless: that was the first thing I tried after starting it out, taking the 2n-6n JF outputs and then monitoring the Mac output. But no attenuation effect from the VCA at all. The 4ms pod, and Cold Mac both have keyed headers, so Iā€™m not sure whatā€™s gone wrong here. Already sent a message to WH support.

wondering if thereā€™s a clever cold mac wizard here who might be able to help me answer this question:

is there any way to patch cold mac to be able to sum a stereo signal and a mono signal?

my slightly educated guess is noā€¦ but just thought iā€™d throw the puzzle out thereā€¦

#384

You can send the stereo signals to left and right and the mono signal to offset and take the mac out. But maybe I misunderstood the question

my hope is that i would somehow preserve the stereo mix, while introducing the 3rd, mono signal equally into the mix. i donā€™t think this is possible thoā€¦

#386

I am probably missing part of what you are looking for, but doesnā€™t left in, right in, offset in, left out, right out, knob all the way left or right do this? The knob position will also control the width of your stereo spread.

ahhh i think thatā€™s it!! going to try rn.

Iā€™ve used that patch a lot. It keeps the offset signal in the middle and allows you to swap where left and right are in the mix. I think thatā€™s what @shellfritsch is looking for, guess weā€™ll see!

Rosie is great for that

#390

@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 aboutā€¦

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.

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

Further patch notes in the YouTube description.

HELP ~ small modular setup

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 ā€œdark modeā€ 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.)

Iā€™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 youā€™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 ā€œhot modeā€ tho hehe

I feel like NLCā€™s Letā€™s Splosh is a good start at something like that.

:bulb:maybe i should reverse my Letā€™s Mac patching and make it a Cold Splosh :bulb:
