On the MW thread theres a nice hint showing subharmonic scanning with maths.

I need a function/EG and thinking about MN Function. I would like however similar to math creative potential in the sense of scaninng to add more complexity to JF even. Before one day the crow lands…

I admit i have little knowledge of scanning but understand the fundamentals its based on. Does Function by MN allow this with Just Friends?

Playing with my Just Friends last night I noticed I have exactly the same issue as below (I’ve never really tried getting all LFO’s running at same rate before).

@photofractal did you get to the bottom of what was the problem on your unit?

@Galapagoose would a Beasts Chalkboard be an acceptable voltage reference for the calibration procedure (I don’t have a precision voltage source, and the module is an octave transposer so I guess should output in 1V increments)?

I actually brought mine right to the Mannequins team in NYC (I live in Brooklyn). They repaired it for me but never told me exactly what the problem was. Sorry I know that’s not super helpful!

@Ithacus
Have you tried updating to the latest version (3.0.5)? It adds some extra scaling / shaping for the FM pot which should help getting those speeds much slower.

Regarding the voltage reference I would use whatever it is you’re sending to JF as the volt/octave source. That should factor out any error your source is providing. Also, running the calibration procedure should help with the slow waves thing (by reducing DC error at the FM input jack).

Thanks for the quick response @Galapagoose most appreciated.

I’ll try all above and hopefully that will sort it out :+1:

just playing around with one of my favorite things to do with JF - combining (via Cold Mac OR) gates in shape/cycle mode, creating lovely rhythms that can slowly phase in and out, depending on your settings. The sound in this video is the triggers going straight into Optomix’s input. You can also shape the resulting sound with the curve and ramp knobs, to be soft or biting.

Can you explain this in more detail, particularly how you patched between Cold Mac and JF?
Thanks!

#274

two triggers from JF into Cold Mac’s two OR inputs, then out of OR output into optomix. basically you’re just combing the gates, I’m sure there are many other ways to do this.

Interesting. How do you have JF set? Could you post a picture? And are you using the knob on C.M. for anything or just letting it choose via the Or functionality?

I’m loving the Mannequins modules while still finding them to be quite opaque…

Thanks!

#276

Shape/Cycle mode, set curve to be square wave so its spitting out gates and not LFO’s. Adjust everything else to taste. Cold Mac knob is not used

#277

Thanks I’ll try it!

Further exaiming the „delay“ genes of Just Friends i find it worthy to note that this module does basicaly Double tracker Tape style things in cycle shape. I am sending Gates and use fm with 3S and playing 2 sampled drums. Things go from clear, to subtle drum hit changes via double tracking delays up to mashinegun stuff.

All about time this module. Saves me a Strymon Deco :slight_smile:

I tried it and it was really cool!

I’ve read this about five times today and still haven’t quite grokked it. Such is the modular world haha. I’ll get it soon enough

#281

Out of curiosity, what is the other voice in this?

#282

Yeah I’m lost on this one too! Can you break this down again? Sounds interesting!

#283

Yeah i admit the used terms are a bit off. I will try to post a vid in a while.
The mention of genes referes to a stutter effect that has lots of similarities to granular effects. Wich is sth that actually not interesting me a lot. Basically very very fast stutter of extremly short part of audio.

In this totaly unsientific patch i can move around parameters on Just Friends that completely change the 2 drum samples behavior. My favorite being a blend of a slapback echo / double tracker kind of behavior. Hard to control to not get completely offbeat drifts but actually intuitive as hell given the awesome design of Just Friends.

some washy stuff from morphagene and a drone bass from DPO

Q: what do you or would you do with two Just Friends?

I have a JF on preorder from Control… Someday it will come! However, because GAS got the better of me, I also have one coming this week (thanks @ceedotgeedot!).

If anyone has ideas for or experience with two of these interacting with each other, I’d love to hear about it. I do have Teletype so Just Type is on the table, though I think I’m going to have to build a pull-up board since I’ll be at 4 i2c modules.

Thanks!

I have two JFs. :smiley: One is i2c’d to TT and is mostly used as either a poly voice, or envelope generator. The other is my main modulator. This isn’t to say that they don’t get used in other ways, just that this would be a common use case for me. :slight_smile:
