No problem! Give this a build tho! Following the steps will have the unit ready for you in 10 minutes at the most!

It was one of the first patches I ever built with the 301

just set this up and yeah a ton of fun, even with just simple sine waves triggers slice and gate on the sample player.

seems to be a really interesting way of taking two differing tempo based things and meshing them (whatever is firing the sample player gate being the tempo of the new thing as that is what samples are resetting changing at, but still has the movement of the original thing)

EDIT: pretty silly cut of Khotin’s new song Your Favourite Building as what is feeding the feedback looper.

o wow, the combo of granular/loop-y sample mangling thing into trash tape is fantastic.

on latest 0.5, I’ve got a pinging 3 sisters sample running into manual loops, manual grains, clocked doppler delay, trash tape and random modulators all over the place, and recording into the multitrack recorder…all of that and hitting 68% on CPU. pretty impressive

the problem is that actually there is no on board EOC or EOR outs from functions, but you can patch similar stuff with comparators etc…
you can check this custom unit i made for one such trick:

but the good news is that a new paradigm is coming to the er-301 via the still very mysterous “command bus” Brian is implementing, and it will probably allow to send events in a new and interesting way (probably including stuff like end of cycle etc…)
anyway, i’m very interested in trying to build a quantussy, will check peter b. website to grasp the functioning.
i made a functioning benjolin unit on the 301 if you wanna check something different but inherently complex:


and here’s the rungler alone:

thanks for this! have not made a ton of progress so feel free to hop on it :slight_smile: definitely studied a bunch of your custom patches looking for local routing practices. a quantussy is definitely something I would get a lot of mileage from in the er-301.

and I can’t imagine what crazy stuff brian has been working on this year… some of the implications of a command bus or porting max patches (from this older thread) are insane. I just hope we can record into a buffer and process it without clicks at some point though!

Hi, new ER301 user here. I have Rev 7 and was wondering if the I2c hack is feasible as I have zero soldering knowledge or it is better to find someone to do it if I can… I don’t want to fry this gem :slight_smile:

Also any good link on Crow and ER-301 please?

The mod takes a few seconds to do and test with a multimeter. The instructions on the wiki are very precise. If you’ve never soldered before a practice kit and YouTube would help. You could do it!

OTOH if there is someone in your area that can do it, it might be cheaper than buying a solder iron, solder, multimeter, and practice kit.

I soldered a bunch, and however simple (didn’t check it) I would never touch such a pricey module with my iron…

thanks, well as it is an expensive module and I was waiting for a long time for it I will give it to an experienced solder to make it :slight_smile:

The I2C mod is super simple–all you’re doing is bridging two pads with a bit of wire. Agree that with 15 min of practice, you should be fine. You just need some fine solder and an iron with a fine tip, but if you’re nervous, it’s a 5 min job for a soldering friend.

#511

If it makes you more confident, the mod is performed upon the off-the-shelf $40 SoM portion of the module. If you bust it, a replacement is literally plug & play.

I’ve been putting this mod off for six months, and this bit of info is going to put me over the edge
