Nice shout-out to @mdoudoroff at the end!

For an alternate take on COLD MAC, we strongly recommend Martin Doudoroff’s Patching Cold Mac guide, along with a great YouTube tutorial. A number of ideas in this Map borrow from Martin’s work!

Ha! If someone laid it out I would be the first to order! Maybe one day (a long ways away) I will get around to doing that if no one beats me to it…

One of the first synthesis texts I ever read was Rich Gold’s Intro to the Serge Modular Music System. The Mannequins modules could certainly be used for a similar introduction to modular synthesis that goes above and beyond the basics!

These are a work of both technical and communicative works of art
Remember we talked about zines and patches?
I’ve loved everyone of these and even I’ve found new things to my most used modules - thank you

Good god, these are good.

I can use my Cold Mac as a side chain compressor?

As a source for Bernoulli gates? As a gate source?

Can’t wait to patch tonight.

I really appreciate all the work that has been done creating this technical maps! Only small thing I noticed few days ago is that in cold mac description of OR there is a little bug in description because it describes OR as performing logic minimum and AND as performing maximum while the reverse is true :smiley: I created PR few days ago https://github.com/whimsicalraps/Mannequins-Technical-Maps/pull/1 but I guess everyone is rather busy so none had time yet to check it out.

so who’s going to print off posters of those beautiful spectrograms from the 3 sisters technical map?

A wonderful idea, I’d love a print of the spectrogram of the quality sweep while centre processes noise.

This is really really useful. I’ve had a bit of a rough time fully understanding JF.

As a huge product manual aficionado - thank you. I can’t think of a better way to steal paper and ink from work.

Thank you so much for these!! :+1:

I’ve done some fun stuff with Three Sisters, but I really want this explanation of what I’m working with. I appreciate it.
