Have you heard about the Happy Nerding 3xMIA? It does a lot in the space because of its unique knob design. I used it in a 96hp performance case for a combo of mixing and attenuating and it was great because you can split it into different lanes of mixing/attenuation. I would use it as a 2 channel audio mixer, a 2 channel cv mixer, and an attenuator/offset all at the same time, which in 6hp is tough to beat.

This might be more in line with what youā€™re looking for? Iā€™ve got one in my cart for next pay-day :smiley:

Missing my old SSF Propagate and I donā€™t seem to find any floating around the used market.
Any suggestion for a module with similar functionality?

#1076

Iā€™m really pleased with my Malekko Quad Gate Delay. Only wish it had gate-to-trigger conversion switch.

That looks cool, gonna check it out.The Space and Sum functionality was neat on the Propagate.I guess I could mimic the Sum with a mixer and a multiplier.
Just realized it has been discontinued. I should have never sold it

Anybody have any suggestions for desktop or external devices for boosting audio from line level to Eurorack? While I have a 1U intellijel input module, Iā€™d like to be able to boost more than 1 device at a time

#1079

some more intellijel 1U inputs?


or

with https://intellijel.com/shop/eurorack/1u/stereo-line-in-jacks-1u/
?

I have RML fuzz for adding gain (but it also adds many drive/fuzz into the signal), also Feedback Modular KM (and other series) are very good for boosting signals.
I have KM and find itā€™s good for adding some tone to WMD crucible

#1080

I was hoping for something desktop based. Iā€™m out of rack space, but want to boost stuff like my OP-1 and Z

#1081

Iā€™ve not tried this one, but I have another one of their products, and its really useful and made well.

Hey hey! This is perfect!!! Thanks!

Hi!

For a live performance I would like to play previously composed MIDI clips and control the playhead of them by an LFO or CV instead of a clock signal. This would create a more ā€œhumanā€ control effect specially combined with motion capture sensors like the one from Genki Instruments. So by patching a sawtooth signal the 0V will be the starting point of the clip an 5V for example will be the end. I need the playhead move smothly as I said and not by quantized increments. I donā€™t know if such module even exist ā€¦

Another workaround Iā€™ve thought is to use a CV and trigger recorder, and previously convert the MIDI file to a long pairs of samples of the CV and trigger notes. Then use my Befaco VCMC to fire notes converting again CV 2 MIDI. If I use this option I would need at least 8 channel sample player (to play 4 notes polyphony) able to send DC coupled signals and with CV control over the playhead of the sample. I have an ER-301 but this wonā€™t work as the OUT jacks are only for audio signals ā€¦

Any idea on what modules could I use for this?

Thanks!

Something close is the ā€œMIDI File Playback (Free Running)ā€ algorithm on the Disting MK4, which basically controls the tempo of the MIDI file playback via CV:

From your description though, it sounds more like you want to ā€˜scrubā€™ along the CV output via CV?

Since the Disting is DC-coupled, another option is to convert your MIDI file to a DC-coupled .wav on the computer (ie replace the notes with the appropriate DC-value), and then try the ā€œI-6 Audio Playback with Scrubā€ algorithm.

Yes, I guess playing a CV file over a DC coupled interface is the best option. I actually have the ER301 sound computer which allows me to record CV over the different inputs, so I can use the Polyend MIDI 2 CV module to record CVā€™s ā€¦ Then I need a DC coupled wav player. Probably eh Disting is the cheapest option, but it only has 2 outputs, right? The Rossum sample player is probably what I need but at a very high cost ā€¦

Ive been exploring different ways rythmic/timed events in my modular system. Modulating Zadarā€™s time of a looping ad envelope has been pretty interesting and given a west-coast vibe. I was using this envelope to trigger other inputs. Are there any cons to using an envelope as a gate/trigger other than hold time? Ive gotten some interesting results this way. Other than using trigs and gates how do you like to create timed ā€˜eventsā€™ in your system?

Edit: typo

Most of my music is pretty traditionally rhythmic (as opposed to ambient and ā€œtimelessā€), so I mainly use a master clock and then various clock-divider-esque utils. Hereā€™s a typical setup:

  • Hermod as master clock driving Pamā€™s as my main clock divider
  • Pamā€™s outs 2-8 are different clock divisions. I typically try to order the outs from fastest to slowest, ranging from like x1 down to /96. Some of them are gates, some of the gates have euclidean patterns applied, and others are LFOs (typically triangle or random)
  • Iā€™ll also mult Pamā€™s out 1 running at 24ppqn to every other module in my system wanting a clock in (MI Grids, MI Clouds, MI Tides, O&C, Intellijel Steppy)
  • MI Tides and O&C in particular Iā€™m often running in their quad LFO modes
    • for MI Tides: freq. range either in ā€œmovementsā€ or ā€œrhythmsā€, output mode in ā€œdifferent frequenciesā€, and ramp mode in cyclic bipolar
    • for O&C, Iā€™ll run Quadraturia with a small shape spread (~20-40) and small frequency spread (2/3, 2/5, 1/7)
  • This way all of my main LFOs and modulation triggers (from Pamā€™s, Tides, and O&C) are cyclic in a way that ties back to the rhythm (in a mix of even and odd/aliasing divisions). I have an Ćøchd for deliberately untimed LFOs, but those arenā€™t quite as common

Certain trigger inputs will not alway register inputs that arenā€™t square on-and-off signals. Iā€™ve found itā€™s pretty uncommon and not necessarily worth worrying about. If you do come across it, you can just use a comparator.

Excellent, I have a very similar timing workflow - tempi outs are all clock divisions, with half of them on the mod setting which makes them all switch places every once a while. This keeps the quadraturia LFOā€™s changing their tempo, but keeping them loosely in synch back to tempi. The rest of tempiā€™s outs go to other modules wanting clock (or some modulation of), and yes typically multing channel 1 for that same purpose. I really love quadraturia, so ended up getting a 2nd O&C just so I could load hemisphere suite on it without sacrificing quadraturia.

additionally to what @oot said, if you encounter any problems triggering with envelopes IIRC chaining on Zadar works with looping envelopes too, you could chain another channel so that it gets triggered whenever the first one starts (phase to 0), set it to the square waveform and get a gate this way. you could then modulate the gate width with warp and time params. or increase the phase and get a delayed gate or trigger.

that reminds me i have to start using my Zadar more :<

Interesting! I have a pretty small system so I dont need to worry about clocking other clock sources. Does the 24ppqn clock signal mean your other clocked modules are running at a much faster rate. Or does the 24ppqn just have a higher fidelity clock signal? I also have a ornament and crime but have never really explored the clocked waves! Sounds interesting to experiment with odd quantized divisions!

#1092

Interesting. So would an input that only recognizes a trig reach once it hits its max value instantaneously? I have some options for analogue logic in my Cold mac. If you took a tempo synced lfo >comparator you could have quantized divisions of the clock that could be very cool to experiment with.
