Absolutely killer looking and sounding instrument. That second recording is just beautiful - really my kind of thing! Looking forward to hearing / seeing more.

A little sonic exploration with the Plumbutter 2 and Eventide H9 today in the studio. Something I thought that some of you might enjoy :smiley:
Thanks for listening!

I’ve been thinking of building something similar for some time, may I ask what the odd-rolls positive outputs put out?

#802

Ciat-Lonbarde stuff is very intriguing. I cannot tell if I think I might want one because I’m not sure what is going on when I see people playing them or if they would work out with my particular mindset for making music?

Happened to visit Patch Point in Berlin Link in the other day. That seems to be a great place to see and try out banana synths, especially Ciat-Lonbarde machines. Also, shout out to the owner for being maybe the nicest person in city.

Absolutely. Darrin is a wonderful person, and encourage anyone if they have the opportunity to spend some playtime at Patch Point!

I don’t own a scope or anything to make it visible, but I just recorded a short snippet of my 5-roll orange out into Plumbutter’s Ultrasound. Other than the ground connection, there’s nothing else patched on the roll or the Plumbutter.

It’s a rather strange beast :wink:.

Thank you! Interesting I’m gonna put “orange” outs on mine too :slight_smile:

Are there any videos that can help understand or get a grasp on some of the Ciat-Lonbarde instruments. I can seam to find much.

Has anyone tried laminating the paper circuits to make them sturdier?

#810

All of my older paper circuits are on cereal boxes (at least one layer). The original “paper circuit” idea comes from oldschool 4ms design ideas (soundshimmer back then, for the weirder pedals) and in Dan’s designs he suggested cereal boxes. My oldschool 4ms (soundshimmer) atoner is made on paper/cereal box as well.

If you are still punching holes with a needle, I would strongly suggest mounting one in a dowel as it’s much harder poking through board.

Bit of a cross post from Latest tracks + videos … but I thought it might be relevant to the thread. Used a lot of Ciat-Lonbarde on this release, my main instruments are the Sidrax + Cocoquantus, love exploring the combination finding bits of textures; looping and slowly letting the fade away. Probably the closest I’ve come to working with concepts of tape loops. This track was created with a solo Plumbutter 2, I love how physical and raw the machine sounds. Been using Pete’s devices since the original Sidrassi, highly recommend the Plumbutter 2 for anyone who’s interested in exploring the Ciat-Lonbarde paradigm.

has anyone here used their rollz/rolzer as a trigger source for a drum machine or sampler? the pb2 or double knot is the common inference due to format continuity, but I don’t need all that. my current obsession is a rolzer + metasonix d-2000, but it’s not feasible for obvious and banal reasons lol. my minimum criteria for a ‘drum machine’ is merely something that has isolated trigger inputs for each ‘drum’ element of the machine—no sequencer needed.

re: rolzer: to avoid interconnectivity catastrophes: orange jacks as outputs only, yes?

I’ve got a PB (no Rolzer) and just clocked an SQ-1 with a Roll and sent it’s trigger back out to the PB snare- SQ-1 obviously isn’t a sampler/drum machine, but it did work. I’d guess something expecting similar voltages would too.

And, yes, brown outs are “fishy,” which is Blasser-ese for “probably don’t.”

was 4ms soundshimmer before or after it was 3ms?

#815

I sometimes use my Vermona DRM with the CV triggers with Rolz or PB. I just use one of the triggers for a ground.

I’ve read that Mr. Grassi can be powered from a 9v battery, but the manual doesn’t elaborate. Would I just wire a battery connector to the +/-12v pins on the module?

#817

two more demos from my box! getting weirder and weirder with eurorack CV.
in this one i send in an LFO from maths, which is modulating dogvoice, then the ultrasound filters. these modules don’t really react to outside CV in the way that i expected, but they certainly do react to it. the format jumblers are daisy-chained to the audio ground wire, and any time you plug in any external voltage pretty much everything about the box works differently - the knobs respond differently, the rollz all interact differently, sending the same signal to the same jack yields different results. just as i started to figure out all the interplay between the modules without external CV, i discover a whole slew of RUN modes.

here a rollz signal is sent out to 3 sisters FM (off-screen) with very kooky results

Yup.

I power mine off AA batteries, using 6 of them, so it lasts longer, but it’s still 9V just the same.
