I don’t have any experience with that particular module, but I used their buffered mult prior to installing a 1u and it was solid.

Interesting! Thanks for the suggestion. Looks quite pricey for what it is but it would definitely do the job.

Just FWIW, I like the newer “Individual Wavebank” firmware a lot. Still has expert mode plus some other useful tricks.

posted elsewhere but this thread is a lot more ~active~

been having a whole lot of fun with Geode (Just Type Sound mode) and am wondering if it’s possible to output slower LFOs using it. I’ve tried setting tick to a very low value (1, 2), and also various settings for jf.qt to no avail. My goal here is to emulate some of the slower shape/cycle behavior on default JF with the added flexibility (and deliberate ratio control) of geode.

the next step is to run multiple outputs through gated VCAs, then into mac and out into a quantizer for a more deliberate variant of the ‘lfo to quantizer’ model of sequencing.

another potential option would be to use default jf shape / transient mode and run my triggers into jf, but then i don’t get the same level of control over the triggered voltages (due to JF’s sympathetic triggering) or over the ratios between them (left with only default panel settings instead of nice integer division control).

any help with path A would be super appreciated (as it seems to have the fewest hurdles + more control), although there could be options in path B I’m missing…

thanks so much as always :slight_smile:

The timebase for Geode can be established through two different uses of one command:

JF.TICK clock/bpm

  • clock/bpm : 49 to 255 directly sets tempo to 49-255 bpm
  • clock/bpm : 1 to 48 define how many ticks equal one measure, sent repeatedly through tap-tempo from Teletype. eg JF.TICK 4 meaning four notes per measure

JF.TICK 0 resets the timebase to the start of the measure.

So you can’t set tick lower than 49 BPM. Plenty of fun to be had clocking it with Teletype, especially since the DEL.X and DEL.R OPs help acheive some similar functions as Geode’s repeats.

A Tascam DR40/44/100 seems to fit your description perfectly, plus you get a recorder and basic effects thrown in.

and the answer was right there all along! tryna learn too many things at once rn (so goes with teletype) and things are falling out of my brain faster than I can stuff em in!

literally the kindest rtfm I’ve ever seen. <3

anyone have the goods on a solid stereo fx send unit? Rosie is mono and the other options are either 1u or are full-on mixers (which I have no use for and will cost too much / be too big). in or out of the rack – either is fine.

also wondering if you could vouch for the sound quality on any recs… have been burned by budget outboard gear one too many times!

I use one of these:

exactly what I’m looking for! any noticeable distortion?

None that I’ve noticed. It’s a very basic unit though – you cannot control levels at all – but it has worked fine for me, though there is sometimes a bit of a volume drop on return.

noted! p sure that could be remedied by multing the dry signal before sending it out (via stackable, even?) and using the effects full wet, then mixing to taste.

smaller and more direct than any other option I’ve seen. gonna give it a few days to marinate then make a move.

thanks!

I bought this for send/return purposes

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes…

I find myself with two DPOs, having had one before getting a Shared System…

It feels like needless redundancy, especially with other modules I’d like to add to my medium size rig…

I’ve never sold a module before, so before I go in that direction, I thought I’d see if anyone had two DPOs and what the thinking might be around keeping both…

Thanks for any insights!

Familiarity is a virtue. Efficiency, predictability.
No shame in using a DPO as two basic oscillators when that’s what you need.
Lots of Buchla systems have multiple complex oscillators.

When I think of future expansion I often think of getting a second DPO. The magic for me comes in the cross-modulation, often subtle, and I would love to be able to having a second voice with the same timbral flexibility and richness. I also want to frequently run Oscillator 1 at LFO rates, which I also enjoy cross modulating with oscillator 2.

Overkill? Maybe, but I had two and the space I could imagine making good use of it. I suppose one could get a different complex oscillator, but I value familiarity with musical tools more and novelty less these days. Plus I like matching aesthetics…

I’m still searching for the right companion for my DPO. STO could be fun for sinewave FM but I think I’d prefer something with a saw or non-sub square output.

Anyone paired a TS-L with DPO?

I recommend taking a long hard look at the upcoming Joranalogue Generate.

Is it normal to hear cracklings and buzzes like white noise while I play with my doepfer A-100 system? Am I doing something wrong, sometimes I don’t hear them other times they are there and they ruin the sound.

I have a DPO and a Sputnik Dual Oscillator. I like having two flavors of complex oscillators. Although two DPOs would be great.
