This is tremendous. I feel like I can finally access the intricate workings of Just Friends without trawling through endless posts like a detective. I have a mind to spend the next few months using only JF and my new Teletype and learning those two (individually and paired) as thoroughly as possible.

Everyday I see a new comment on this Technical Map thread I nearly foam at the mouth in excitement that W/ will have been added. Don’t get me wrong, I have loved the dive into the esoteric and nebulous nature of the user manuals that have truly invited me to become familiar with all of my WhimsicalRaps modules in ways that were both frustrating and illuminating. The puzzles they allow us to fall into and occasionally solve are certainly a large part of their appeal.

Ok wow. This turns my most used module into a whole new universe. Will get expensive tho, I may need another now.

Here’s another web demo!

JF:RAMP/CURVE

It demonstrates how RAMP and CURVE affect waveshape. nb: some of the CURVE transitions aren’t 100% accurate, but they are close enough to give you a good idea!

Wow. This guide made me realise how little I know my Friends. Incredible depth and functionality from this module. Bravo!

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.
