Peter Blasser shared a video about the Tocante Studworth, a DIY Tocante.

“instructions will be scripted in SuperCollider”

Maybe an SC script to choose the scale you want and then get the corresponding capacitor values ?

Oh interesting idea. Whatever it is I hope it’s quirky and fun.

interesting idea, something like that seems likely I guess, afaict there isn’t a digital component

I took a closer look at the instagram post and underneath the board, you can see a printout with “d minor” and capacitor values. Cool project / idea.

That’s such a cool build! Would love to hear it!

Cheers… It’s kind of intended as a patchable pulse / CV generator for other devices but there’s some nice raw detail here and there as a standalone box

Love it, hard to beat the raw unpredictable sound of a rollz, thanks for sharing!

just going through your diagram and the CB one, they are a little different. Not to worry. The swirly bit on the original diagram is he inferring that this is an oscillator do you think?

Sounds like robots playing basketball, nice :slight_smile:

Normally on CL schematics the swirly bit refers to what Peter calls “MIDO” This is a virtual ground at 1/2 the supply voltage. It’s a way of using op-amps with a unipolar power supply.

Just drawn a 4-roll in Eagle. And the first thing I have seen is that you could add a cv input instead of using the potentiometer. In theory creating a feedback loop. Might be able to use another roll and the pulses would increase and decrease the tempo. Could be a little wild.

I’m going to breadboard the circuit to see if it works, then take it from their. Just waiting for some IC’s for the dogvoice first.

Another question about DDDM2. If I want to run it from a 9v battery, how to I connect it to the DC005 pins? Don’t want to get the wrong polarity and lunch the board.

“finished” with my summer project: a bunch of paper circuits and some format jumblers under one roof!
circuits are 3, 4, 5, & 6 rollz, gongs, ultrasound filters, av dog, rando, swoop, dogvoice, and gerassic organ. the sounds are very wild - primitive and organic and fuzzy. i’m really into it. it sounds absolutely bonkers through my eventide pitchfactor - i’m playing a show next month and i think that’s going to be my entire setup.

here are two links to my first two demo videos - the files are too big to upload straight into the post:

noob question about the CQ: what is the longest sample length and how do I set it?

The loop/sample length is always the same, but you can play it really slowly for longer recording time. The trade off is sound quality. Just turn Speed down :slight_smile: not sure what the maximum time is.

thx :slight_smile:
just got it and only had a few hours to fiddle with it. seems interesting, but at this moment I dont really know what I’m doing…

for example, when taking samples I got gaps in the loop, even though the input was concistent. :thinking:
