Did you try that in parallel while adressing cues too or only in simple play mode with no other cv going in?

#1313

It just occurred to me that the proposed Faderbank by @infovore could be useful in interacting with W/ - in conjunction with something like the ADDAC 305, which has 4 “pass through” channels, and a unity mixer of some sort, which could pass a single patch cord to the W/ that could receive one of four CV signals. That way you could send (more or less) precise CVs on demand to W/. Or am I overthinking this.

#1314

No i dont think your overthinking it - ive thought exactly the same thing…ive decided the TT isnt for me but i still want access to JF and w// access to deeper functions that Just type and whatever integration with TT is planned…
Its getting to the point i could almost make one (and share it obviously) bu the thing holding me back is Crow and The Other New Thing (that Tehn and Trent are talking about now)
it could be done really simply on its own, its integrating into the ecosystem
So for me 16n is the only game in town - waiting to see what the dynamic duo come up with :slight_smile:

How I see a box like this working would be to import TT scripts (or via an IDE or similar) which would be read only except for changing values required - so looks like norns :slight_smile:

I was thinking of a similar kind of idea with a sequential switch! Though I also suppose Pressure Points would be a similar idea.

Good point. Now I need to ask if you send multiple different CVs to a unity mixer, does the unity mixer add the CVs? So if I sent 1v + a 2v signal, does that output a 3v signal? This way you could make do with only three channels on the Faderbank and three channels on the ADDAC, and do the 1 / 2 / 1+2 / 2+2 / 1+2+2 (plus or minus). Ahh, math.

#1318

yes, to my knowledge a unity gain mixer does this, modulo you can’t get past +12/-12V in Eurorack

Care to elaborate what the aim of this actually would be?
Usage examples?

I finally got down to a simple cv sequencer touch modul like cells wich lets me tune in plates to cues. But i suppose you talk of a different use case
Mangling loop playback with stuff like varispeed and direction?
Wouldnt any simple bipolar cv source do this? Or you refer to prearranged exact and expectable results via gates?

#1320

@Galapagoose any ETA on when W/ will be back in stock?

#1321

Well, as I read the documentation for the LIVE mode of W/…

LIVE

Always keep moving. LIVE mode is focused on performance-brain; Simplistic subtleties affording nuanced techniques.

THIS takes a plain trigger, punching in, then out the record function. Toggling behaviour lends to interesting phasing effects, particularly where an INput sequence is desynchronized with a punch-pattern.

THAT enables CV control over the recording mode. Now we can explore the inbetween of OVERDUB (0v) and OVERWRITE (-5v). Consider the difference between these modes is whether we are erasing existing recorded material as we lay down new sounds. A point out around -4v will give the effect of an old tape deck or delay, leaving faint ghosts of recorded material.

Positive voltages are only subtly different to negative- Indeed the effect on the recording is identical! The big difference is we now hear the sounds being cleared off the tape. Consider this while looping, and your loop length directly becomes delay-time. Feedback internally by approaching 0v, or patch an external path at 5v.

…I realized I might need to send fluid CV chances to W/ but it might also benefit from precise CV changes. I can use Cold Mac to send the fluid changes, as long as I’m paying attention to the position on the dial. But for precise changes … that was what I was thinking when I considered sending precise CVs either singly or in groups to a unity mixer, which would then connect to the THAT jack on W/.

I’m just spitballing this.

I see
Wouldnt tune plates achieve the same?

Ah pressuenpoints allready mentioned above.
It would be just simpler as the summing is allready there.
No bipolarity tho

Throwing this in… i dont think its for me but i stumbled over Flame Memoslider wich has multiple voltage ranges out including -5 to +5
I think it could be usefull for some using W/
Just not for me haha

#1323

i got a W/ used (maybe from one of you lol) and no izzy to be found, but the info here on lines has been super-helpful. after deleting a tape and starting from there, everything was working ok. trying to just fill a tape with some talking/interviews w astronauts. but now all of a sudden i have no sound output, can’t seem to navigate thru all the loops and tape i just recorded, cant find any cue points at all.

#1324

did you go to global mode and try toggling the output setting??

#1325

yes, i have monitor turned on in global, and can hear that fine. was working for awhile, but its def not consistant, its buggy for sure. waiting for new firmware.

#1326

after creating a new tape, things seem to be much better, hasnt frozen/crashed since then. got to the end of a tape and was surprised it didn’t loop back to beginning, it just stopped.

what kind of material are you recording with your w/ with?

filled a tape with spoken word, astronaut interviews in french and english, with some ufo nuts and hypnotists throw in too. moved onto drones and soundscapes, old ambient tracks played at 50% speed sound amazing under new tracks. havn’t attempted anything with a tempo to it yet. audio-rate and LFOs to scrub thru the tape is really fun.

I’ve recorded:

Melodic patches from within the Modular
OP-1 sounds
Radio snippets
Enviromental sounds from freesound.org
Looping whatever patch I have going and dropping it 1/2 speed for interesting rhythms and harmonies

Like you said, 50% on anything ambient or harmonically rich is amazing. I get a lot of use out of a delay setup, since it sounds great and I dont have a delay in my system.

Can you elaborate on this? Does W/ work well as a traditional delay?

#1329

if you overdub record into a loop with an offset controlling the feedback amount, yes, it can act as a delay. can’t speak to the sound, ofc

similar to the way that the korg volca sample creates a delay

Can someone explain if its possible to clock the w/ and if so how…probably not possible to use an audio loop from w/ as master clock?

What are your guys recent experiences w/w/?
Everyone waits for the firmware or some are actively and happy using it?
