& we’re back W/ + slashes

Smallest sampler feud? 2hp says their upcoming module is the smallest one:

ModularGrid

2hp Play

2hp Play - Eurorack Module - Sample Player

2HP also say their build quality is good, yet the letters on some of my 2HP modules have faded after 2 months

12eightyseven · 2018-11-28T20:41:33.579Z

Maybe the smallest dedicated sampler? Seems like a much more straightforward implementation of straight sampling. Doesn’t look like you can record to it, sample player maybe.

bjarlstedt · 2018-11-28T21:17:01.720Z

I suspect that this upload on modular grid isn’t a work of 2hp though. And yes @12eightyseven is obviously correct, a sample player that is. The feud is over

New W/ owners! If you get stuck, we’ve got a thread of potentially helpful suggestions over at ~ Help W/ ~!

eblomquist · 2018-11-29T14:36:36.229Z

Alanza,

Many thanks for the W/Help thread!

I am hopeful that I will be able to figure it out! It’s helpful to have that info in its own zone…

THIS

Input
Send a trigger to punch-in and punch-out recording. Each trigger toggles the state of recording.

Might it be possible to modify this behaviour for gates like a momentary switch? e.g. punch-in on high, punch-out on low?

The Intellijel Planar can output gates based on joystick movement and it would be neat to punch in gestures as they modulate my voices.

Another idea where this might be useful is if I were to be using a keyboard that sends gates on key presses, I could punch in/out on each keypress.

I am already using the physical record button and /W Type for a latching punch-in, punch-out and would appreciate an alternative way to record.

Thank you for listening.

Edit:

I think I’m beginning to understand the cross patching capabilities by leaving it as trigger.

Expecting gate from the following would be difficult:

SIGNAL

THAT

Output

Sends a trigger whenever the play head hits a > cue point.

I think using an end of cycle pulse from another module to punch in and out might be worth keeping the cross patching and chaining capabilities of how it’s currently implemented.

Edit 2:

As an addendum to enable the requested behaviour (Converting gate to rise, fall trigs) use MI Stages (or any function generator):
4 Segments (MI Stages):

red, pot full ccw, gate in
red, pot full ccw, trig 1 out
red (loop), pot full ccw, gate in
red, pot full ccw, trig 2 out
OR(trig1, trig2) → W/ THIS

Seriously trying to wrap my head around this manual and the functions etc. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one and give it a go!

Just a question to the owners of 2 W/'s.

How are you using them?
What exactly happens when you connect two with slashes?

Im just gearing up for my second W/ to arrive

alanza · 2018-12-10T04:51:21.250Z

Nothing happens yet when you connect them, except now they share a power and I2C connection. I haven’t really set out to explore two W/s yet, but beyond stereo, I’m excited about “inner / outer” loop setups, using one as a sampler / recorder and the other as a looper, etc.

mlogger · 2018-12-10T09:15:45.883Z

im thinking polyearthsea would work well with 2. I have a second w/ pending also. I think recording and duplication of the exact same loop would be interesting for triple phasing - orginal seq + 2 w/ + individual +/- speed up/down on the w/‘s

brndnwilliams · 2018-12-10T17:30:55.361Z

I just use them as a stereo w/ and mult all the cv to both for synced stops and starts and then have out of phase lfo’s to THAT subtly for tapes that drift off of each other and back

kburwash · 2018-12-11T21:37:21.957Z

Just got a w/ and cold mac yesterday. my brain is broken now.

cosmicsoundexplorer · 2018-12-11T23:18:17.748Z

All these ideas sound amazing!
Can’t wait to try them out in stereo.
I was also hoping when two W/ were linked by slashes you could set up the THIS and THAT could be setup in any configuration. Like clock in, feedback, cv in/out. I think that would be amazing. Looking forward to the future updates.

alanza · 2018-12-12T01:39:08.384Z

as in both modules responding to each CV in? that would be AWESOME, but no (not yet??)

cosmicsoundexplorer · 2018-12-12T04:30:40.269Z

Yeah so two W/'s connected by slashes would give stereo/dual mono, in/out and have 4 cv inputs. so many combos my mind is spinning really hope something like that happens.
