A lot of my mixers are DIY Veils (got five of them plus two DIY Blinds!) It means I can mix and then quickly cv the inputs if I want. (I realised if I DIYed a normal mixer it was about the same price as doing a mixing quad vca…)
It works really well for me…
I have a few exp and lin standard mixers but I really dont mind a linear response for mixing audio - it doesnt bother me at all…
I also use an external Mackie mixer for mixing each ‘track’ (which is also multed to a multi-input audio interface)

Any chance somebody wants some money to look at a few of my DIY modules and help me troubleshoot them? Namely two pulse VCOs that are super-quiet in comparison to their other wave outputs, a VCF which does nothing, and a quad VCA that’s shorting somewhere. I’ve taken them as far as I can with my utterly amateur skills with a multimeter and scope and my non-existent skills reading a schematic. No rush, just let me compensate you for your time. I’ll pay shipping to and from.

Hi guys,

Anyone has any experience with live recording into Qu-bit Nebulae v2? Do you use a mic and plug it directly into its input or how do you do that?

Does anyone know of a module that outputs musical voltages (ideally but not necessarily offsets) dependent on gate inputs being high?
I know of the Rebel Tech Tonic and what I’m looking for is not a sequencer requiring a clock but something that continuously responds to gate on/off.

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?

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

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

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?

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:
