Yep. It absolutely will do that! I was mostly curious what alternatives were out there. @oscillateur is speaking to what I was trying to get at. The math is dead simple division in the digital realm, which is why I’m somehat suprised there isn’t a simple utility module for this, even if niche in use. I’d imagine there’s an analog equivalent.

Time to prototype! 20

I am, but I’ve never used it like that. From the manual though:

So I guess you would patch across those bit outputs to the same bit inputs. I wonder if you could choose the number of steps easily though…

I have an SV-1 it good but it’s also limiting me. I feel I don’t use some features and the filter doesn’t do enough for me.

What should I get to replace it?

It’s got two oscillators, filter, mixer, adsr, vca, midi, lfo, sub Oscillator, Noise, and a sample and hold.

I use the main oscillator and mix wave forms. The second oscillator is useful.

I use the filter but it does have enough control. There is no cv for res.

I don’t use the midi or the noise and sub oscillators, nor the sample and hold. While these are useful I just get less mileage.

The adsr and vca are pretty barebones. They work, and I use them, I’d like more options.

Give me your thoughts and recommendations.

The A-118 in my 104hp Doepfer system is showing its limitations in terms of what I’m patching, and the A-149 isn’t my flavour of random. Does anyone have any thoughts on the ADDAC501 Complex Random? Seems pretty ideal, but for the price I want to be sure!

If you’re in the market for a filter (and everything else you mentioned!), I would take a look at this thread started the other day. Really helped me open up my patching with Sisters.

Mannequins Three Sisters

love. this. thread. so so inspiring, all! I’ve been living Six Sisters for a few months now and it’s been such an education. I’ve been using one as my main VCO, multing the signal into inputs on the other (FM’ing the filter 3Sis with a raw copy from the VCO 3Sis is deeply fun). stumbled on this the other day, exploring interactions between a voice 3Sis and a filter 3Sis with the help of Cold Mac: self-oscillate, keeping span just a tick CW of noon (12:05, not 12:10) voice Low -> filter Centr…

Sounds like you’re looking for more of a west coast approach rather than the east coast approach the SV-1 takes.

Perhaps check out some Mannequins or Make Noise options?

@philmaguire What are you looking for in a random module?

[soggybag]

I have maths. The SV-1 sounds pretty good. I find the filter limiting it only has a single CV input. There is no cv for resonance.

The unit works well with its normalized connections but patching it into a different configuration is a bit of work.

Hey guys what’s ya thoughts on this rig to replace my korg prologue?

This rig a Norns and a grid then it would be fed into octatrack synced with my machinedrum and aux out to delay reverb

Soundcraft epm mixer

[electret]

Nice rig, have very similar. But this is not comparable to a korg prologue in any way so I can’t say…

[Bxentric]

I should mention My friend plays the chords for me after I’ve done the sound design on my keyboard. I’d like to not rely on someone playing for me and have more control. I figure I will use the Norns for my texture and this rig as the patterns for what I hope will be a deep techno listening experience

[electret]

Ah yes that make more sense then!

[Bxentric]

I’m rather nosey may I see a pic of your rig set up please?

[electret]

It’s changed a bit since but here’s a picture of the rack for my August live: https://www.instagram.com/p/BmbvzkmAyPr/?taken-by=electret_

I played this with a Digitakt. I’m preparing a new setup for a show this week, will share pictures after

[Bxentric]

Super nice thanks for sharing, good luck with the show and be sure to share a vid if you’d like

https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_693456.jpg I’ve added the w/ and a quad attenuator instead of two blank spacers

[electret]

Nice samplers are always a good addition. I should receive my W/ tomorrow, but will be using a morphagene for the show. Looks like w/ requires some serious practice before using it live

[electret]

I have a few different cases. A fraps tool 84hp for minimal / shallow setup. And a make noise skiff (unpowered) for use with the expert sleepers audio interface (too big for the other case). Both with row power. I also have a 6U 104hp but it usually stays home

I usually bring modular + something else for shows.

[philmaguire]

A couple of random outputs, and ability to set a range of random voltage is basically all I’m after!
