Sequencer with an internal clock through a vca?

Just a CV mixer? Gate inputs into mixer inputs, twiddle levels to turn each gate into a musical voltage, output is the (hopefully still musical) sum…

This is pretty much what I already do. The reason I asked is because I do this type of patch quite often and figured there should be a more convenient solution.
However I did find the module after some further looking!
Ladik makes a transposer (there’s the word I was looking for) module called the T240 which does exactly what I described:

Hemispheres for Ornament & Crime has an applet called voltage that does this as well.

Anyone’s got any experience with the Doepfer A-198 TRC? How do you use it?

I love my ribbon controller. I use it in the most obvious way: to control pitch. I drew some tape across the side of it to mark two octaves which is what I scale it to.

I tend not to use the pressure out, I find an expression pedal works better. Nowadays I use the Expressive E Touché for dynamics.

I went into more detail in this post:

oh this is coooool. I love finding out elegant little modular workflows like this. I have a couple of mutable shades’ for those kind of ideas, should do the trick nicely

Clock divider into mixer is a classic way of making a sequencer out of utility modules. Another way to make a sequencer from parts is to run CV offsets into a sequential switch.

Why if I use it with an ADSR the release part is not working?

#319

It’s pretty hard to know without seeing your patch but you might have the hold (topmost switch) turned off.
If the hold is turned off, the ribbon stops emitting voltage as soon as you stop touching it. If it’s on, the ribbon will emit the same voltage as where you last touched it.
The light should always be on when you’re in hold mode.

Yes, the hold was off, but since I had the release on my ADSR pretty long I was expecting the notes to trail off slowly when I released my finger…instead I get a low tone not related to the note. By the way, I don’t like the notes to stop abruptly when I release my finger and if that’s it I really don’t like it (my personal taste)…but I also want to give it a try since yesterday was the first time I used it and maybe it’s not enough to form an opinion

#321

By the way, do you have any videos of yourself playing that?

#322

This is the behavior of hold being off. If you turn hold on, the pitch will remain the same when you release it. You can use the threshold output to gate the ADSR.

I might have one on my desktop. I’ll check when I get home.

Anyone using the disting to control a virtual oscilloscope?

#324

This is me playing the ribbon a year ago. I used an expression pedal for volume and wavefolding iirc.

I have a question about this thread, is there any reason all Eurorack questions are lumped into one thread? I find it hard to follow these multipl train of thoughts. Would almost make sense to have a whole Eurorack category. I know Muffwiggler has this but I’d rather come here than go there. :wink:

Speaking as a user but not for Lines:

As I understand it, Lines has a bias towards fewer threads. We’re encouraged to keep conversations around topics rather than creating new ones continuously.

Certain equipment will get dedicated threads - Monome because this is the Monome forum, Mannequins modules because they’re fellow travelers. There are also counter-examples to this. But in general, I think Lines biases towards discussing techniques and methods rather than specific pieces of equipment - filtering, sequencing, logic, rather than Fracture and Rene and Plog.

The Eurorack category at MW is clogged with so many “help me finish my rack” posts and basic repetitive posts. I think there’s a desire to keep those consolidated here.

Also, isolating Eurorack into a category sort of implies that it doesn’t interoperate with other equipment. Which, it does of course. There’s no reason per se to give Eurorack its own isolated area, when many people here use it in conjunction with other kinds of gear.

Those are my thoughts as to why. I am kind of grateful the questions are gathered together here.

Edit: @909one I had originally said ‘speaking as a local’, but that implies some kind of knowledge or status difference, and I did not mean to imply that. I am just a user of the Lines forum, same as you. I have no special status. No disrespect or ‘othering’ was intended, but in retrospect I probably would have taken it that way myself.

All I meant to say was, this is my understanding of the choices moderators have made and possibly the reasoning for them and the benefits of them.

Thinking about getting rid of my doepfer clock sequencer, as I really don’t know what I could use it for…what do you think?

#328

Clocks and sequencers are my favorite modules. You can use it to modulate any parameter in your system. Send it to your filter’s frequency.

I really like my ribbon controller too. I have mine (A-198 TRC) patched to cover four octaves. The lowest bass octave provides a cushion for the higher pitched notes sequenced in other modules. I set it to hold “on” and play it quite slowly. I patch it through an o_C in hemispheres mode using the quantizer and filter it with the Rossum Morpheus which is being modulated by a Batumi. I don’t use an envelope so the drone like sounds morph into each other without a clean release. Its just one technique of many with a ribbon.
