Cold Mac can. And I use Intellijel Quaddratt because I like Cold Mac free for other things. Quaddratt is 1U but I believe that Triatt has the same features in 3U. All of these are continuous though so they take a little skill to get “musical” playback relationships. I tried ALM’s Beast’s chalkboard which is +/- 4v if self patched and has set 1v increments thinking that I could select octaves and x2 and /2 playback speeds. It sounded like a good idea it didn’t work like that, I hadn’t thought it through properly. The actual application was really restrictive so I abandoned the idea. I’m hoping TT will be able to do what I need but I’m still just learning the basics. Also I haven’t found that TT can output -ve voltages?! yet? so maybe backwards play back isn’t possible. Someone who is better across all this should probably correct me…

It’s odd that the manual is silent on that point, isn’t it? If W/ Type has the feature it becomes unnecessary in this instance, but we don’t know yet.

Tonight I used a knob from the quaddratt into THAT and was able to “play” the record punch-in either full -5 (tape overdub/overwrite) or full +5 (looper) to great effect.

I tried to quantize the quadratt cv in o_c’s quantermain mode masking all but C. but it only outputs -3 to +5 in 1v increments.

I think that Math’s channel 3 is -5v to +5v - it’s what I have most often been using to control playback speed.

All good ideas concering constant voltage. But imdont think i want to approach it that way. Was more thinkg of a gate creating controller like PP and the mentioned tetrapad…wich i dont dig for some reason.
I suppose you sum the individual outs in a mixer/vca?

I am kinda not getting anywhere with this… ears was mentioned but i am not sure how a one pad controller would work for me.

And i am not sure if one could put any constant voltage generating offsett (i ve malekko 8nu8r) in parallel to a unipolar controller (pp, cells etc) and use the full -5 + 5 range?

If your output is 0 to 5V and you desire -5 to +5V then the transfer function is

H(s) = 2 * s - 5

Per @alanza’s post below, the ADE-60 could achieve this using two channels with correct jumper settings (bias on channel 1, gain on channel 2). Combine this with a Pressure Points and you should be good to go. If you require the allflesh pads that consider the Sptunik 5-Step Voltage Source instead of Pressure Points.

At this point you should really consider doing some actual experimentation, either in real hardware or VCV rack. Your understanding of your problem is a bigger limitation now than any hardware limitations.

Factual question: can the O/A/x2 provide 2x gain?

Actually no, it can’t. I’ll edit.

I think that Abstract Data’s ADE-60 can be patched to work like this with the right jumper settings on two channels?

There you go. Man that thing looks great! So you’d set the first jumper for bias, adjust your signal down by -2.5V. Set your second jumper for gain, multiply signal by 2. Presto.

Mutable Blinds can achieve this if you can feed it 10V on Vmod. But it can only generate +/- 5V.

Prefer to inform myself of the right tools for my application before spending big cash on things that dont work out at all.
Thats when i actually am set to test my case and when the firmware for w/ is done.
Right now i dont have a functional rack to experiment. But yeah i am starting to think i am getting lost in theory slowly. I will sure find a way that works for me.

Very few plans survive implementation. Download VCV Rack and start wiggling now (for free!). And familiarize yourself with oscilloscopes and multimeters.

Haha good point. Never heard of it and will do. Thanks for the hint

#1305

That mention and looking into Blinds made me again think about the original idea to try out allflesh…seems like i cant shake this off until i tried.
I mean plugging those into blinds and the sum into W/ This.
One pad as gate directly into W might work as a note off…

Nah… ok ok…

#1306

Actually part of my confusion seems to be i thought i need bipolar cv to adress cues… i realize thats probably nonsense and its only needed for NAV mode modulating loops.
Yeap…times for hands on

#1307

You can use bipolar CV to modulate your recording mode in THAT in PLAY mode.

#1308

One thing i haven’t found out yet is if W/ can be played/sequenced (lets say triggering 4 cue points) and the performance recorded in W/ aswell?

I think that would need a second recording device?

#1309

Another device is needed

#1310

Sounds like you need a ER-301. It would make all the things you want, possible, and easier…
But I know, more HP and :dollar:
:wink:

Sure that’s actually what got me back into modular but for now i decided to go simpler, smaller and cheaper! Cant afford it sadly.

About controllers/sequencers i am looking at cells and xiio, if i dare to make a full tape with samples and add cues afterwards, then dont touch cues anymore i wonder does a 5v scale actually is enough to browse/tune to 90 minutes of audiomaterial/cues?

Wouldnt i need some kind of fine tune? Or 10v?
