They’re designed to respond to just about anything. Feed them gates, triggers, noise, LFOs, sequencer CV/gate outputs, even try feeding some QPAS outputs back into QPAS, and just experiment until you find cool combinations that work for you.

I tried and there are some things that I like. By asking for advice I am hoping to stumble upon something I didn’t try.

#204

Have you tried feeding them external audio?

well, kind of. I tried feeding it one of the harmonic oscillator outputs as well as feeding its own HP or SP outs. Sometimes gives nice distortion like sounds, and sometimes sounds meh :slight_smile:

#206

If I remember right the wildcard inputs only react if the signal is hot enough to pass a certain threshold. I recall putting squarewaves into it and getting really nice, aliasing and frequency modulation like sounds.

Had a really enjoyable time with Radio Music > Erbe Verb > QPAS > Hyrlo this evening. The operant thing being: Mixing the LP, BP, and HP in stereo wasn’t something I had tried before, and if you haven’t tried it, I recommend it!

Oh man, I need a stereo mixer. I have a mono one now and then I got a QPAS and am… wanting a stereo mixer. You dig the Hyrlo?

I recommend the Intellijel Mixup, has mutes, and with the VCA on the qpas you can use the second pair of stereo in’s on the mixup quite effectively. Though the hyrlo looks nice and I have an OOTS, they have a high build quality.

Make Noise’s XOH is missing from your stereo mixer list.

Ha! Doh! Just fixed that.

i’ve owned a QPAS for about 5 days now, and what i’ve come to really enjoy about it is how it excels at sculpting feedback patches. here’s an example with QPAS + spring reverb (alongside a cold mac / three sisters feedback patch):

this patch was def inspired by the tilde fjaerlett. specifics are lost on me, as i recorded this a few days ago and did a few variations of this patch, but here’s the starting point:

  • spring out -> optomix (version 1) ch 1
  • optomix ch2 (normalled from ch 1) out -> QPAS left input
  • QPAS bp left output -> spring in

from here, i got interesting results self-patching other QPAS outputs into the radiate and !!¡¡ inputs, as well as adding in a very slowly clocked Wogglebug to help nudge the patch into different places.

Gah, thanks for reminding me that I still want to get a spring reverb at some point.

Given my limited understanding of filter circuits. Beyond maybe LPGˋs are there recomendations to get this kind of ringing after more or less any filter? I am thinking of cinnamon or twin peak right now. The ringing after decay is pretty much sth want out of filter

#216

Did this ever come out? I can’t find it anywhere online.

#217

I don’t think so. If anything, videos featuring that combo have probably made it on to his Patreon page.

Edit: this is the closest thing to a full video that I could find:

I just got some ideas around QPAS > Soundstage for the first time and :flushed: crap, where’d my wallet go

#220

Oh interesting! My SoundStage is most always patched, but that sounds like a great idea. The manual for SoundStage definitely suggests using it as something to feed into a stereo filter, but could be an fun way to mix it down too!

#221

just got a qpas recently, this is my first try, the only sound source is one chord droning from chord organ. quite impressed with how it can give dynamic movements and textures.
more patch notes on video description.

A bit of a random holiday question - does anyone know off-hand what the CV input range is for the QPAS CV inputs? The Morphagene manual is very detailed on this, but the QPAS manual has remarkably omitted all technical CV information. I’ve emailed Make Noise, but don’t expect they’ll get back to me any time in the next couple of days, due to NYE and all. Cheers
