Had a lot of fun messing around with the ultraviolet clouds clone and trash tape cassette emulators yesterday. I see that there’s quite a few other custom units shared on the orthogonal forum. Wanted to check here to see if anyone wanted to share which are your favorites or share custom units of their own here.

I always find @mlogger’s autogen library essential study material for using the er-301 as a standalone modular environment. so many creative uses of delays, pink noise though eqs, skewed sine envs. some really cool stuff

Is there a morphagene clone made in er-301? :slight_smile:

It’s posted not too far up above. It’s not a 1 to 1 representation by any means, but is a blast!

hmmm can’t find the patcher :slight_smile:

Oh, I don’t think anybody has saved it as a actual custom unit you could download. But someone has provided detailed instructions on how they personally achieve the results. That way, you can build it yourself and save it for later.

Aaah ok :slight_smile: I was just checking for something ready for quick testing! Thanks for the info!

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!

excuse me, is anybody except me experiencing problems trying to open ortho forums now? thanks

indeed O|D’s forum loads a blank page.

Oh no! If prices for these on reverb weren’t high enough already!

Phew! Just about had a heart attack there.

new custom unit, a very crude but fun six bands vocoder. enjoy:
