Not that I’m aware of, but it should work if the fabric and adhesive aren’t conductive. A thicker fabric like canvas would probably provide more substance.
It might actually be interesting to tape the paper to a piece of fabric, build the circuit, and remove the paper leaving the fabric behind. Then it could be sewn/appliquéd to something.

Here’s a couple of videos of me playing my Sidrax through the Time Shadows pedal (thanks, Hype Thread…). I love this instrument so much.
Hmm, embed preview isn’t working… any tips on how to get it to show up here?

I made a little something today experimenting with my recently acquired Cocoquantus. I notice myself having a tendency to let things get out of control so for this I tried to keep things simple and just sample a few piano notes from the Yamaha Reface CP. I’m modulating amplitude (but not playback speed) as well as the flip and skip input of both buffers with the Quantussy.

Depends on which circuit you are referring to honestly.
Rollz can easily be dc coupled to send positive pulses.
I am sure others could be as well.
You can pull strict high freq. out from USF, and a solid Square Out from AVDogs.
I have used those for modulation.
I do not really understand what the second part of your question is in regards to. is there a specific paper circuit you are looking to build? - there are many…

My take on this is rather simple – to give a paper circuit a eurorack-compatible output, solder the sleeve (outside conductor) of a Euro cable to any point on the paper circuit that is Ground. Solder the tip (inside conductor) to the output point you want.
If you have multiple outputs you want to use for CV, a format jumbler is a very easy thing to DIY. There are some examples here on the board, but if you have problems finding some I could draw you a schematic and build guide.
Either way, in principle the main thing is getting your circuits to share ground, and also making sure none of the output voltages are going to fry the inputs. This is somewhat challenging because different devices have different tolerances, so maybe have a search.
Hope that’s somewhat helpful!

oh not stupid at all.
While I sell stuff, it is a little bit more geared towards those who fully dig the DIY vibe of circuits.
I would suggest you take a look at Meng Qi’s Rollz-5 board.
It has everything needed to get you started and is not a hard build!
There is a BOM out there for it I believe.
It doesnt come as a “full kit” but then again, most ciat-lonbarde stuff does not.
If you want to look at something pre-assembled to get the ciat jive - take a look at Ellitones Ultrarollz (if you can find one.)
If you want - I could probably make a “kit” or 2 for you?
Just a thought - most of us who convert and sell the PCB’s would probably be willing to work with you!!

so for something basic like rollz - you can add the Positive out pulse by adding in a Resistor
This will make this output Positive Pulse only -
You can modify the original paper circuit with a pen/marker and some extra holes
No kit necessary

Oh Sure! So on a 2 roll - take a look at my version - I added an LED Driver and a Positive Out - (Technically makes it a 2 roll + 1 Positive Pulse out) But I do not consider it a 3-Roll as it behaves differently.
Hopefully this will help you modify your preexisting 2-Roll

for people here who interface their cl gear with eurorack etc… what do you use all that stuff to do?
i’m trying to decide if i should stay in euro at all or go further down the cl rabbit hole, but there are some things in euro that i quite like using. i know pulse information won’t translate out of cl, so there goes my first idea - using rollz to clock things in euro land with meng qi brass (with pulse spike resistance) as an intermediary.
for reference, i have a pb… is there a reliable way to get sequenced pitches out of the various elements of pb? i can assume it’s not v/oct or anything, but i’ve seen some people here sequencing melodies from euro on cl items. it would be nice to have some more options for gentle tempo fluctuations out of the rollz 4s using in/verso. i’m just looking for some ideas!
what do y’all do?

Hey! I’ve actually had really good luck clocking euro stuff wit rolls… usually the positive outputs on plum butter spike around 6.5-7v. Also the raw oscillator outputs of the gongs red steam and av dogs would be sick, ultrasound filters… even sending deer horn outputs thru an attenuverter wild make it workable. Just get yourself a lot of format converters, haha
Sending a clock signal or LFO into a brown node of a roll will sort of “clock it”

are those the red jacks then? do the brown jacks only send negative or is there some positive spike information as well?
now that’s interesting… is there any predictable behavior there? i have no idea what actually happens to the roll when anything other than a pulse gets sent it - and even the pulses aren’t always so predictable!
Orange nodes of rolls are strictly positive outputs, brown only put out negative voltages but are androgynous - it’s not necessarily stable but you can get some very cool results. Also sending triggers from euro stuff can trip gongs and taking the off beat from there can make some tight polyrhythms.
Deer horn organs control voltages are only negative but having plenty of attenuators to tune the voltage range to a place that’ll be best for modules you have you’re cooking

oh interesting - i hadn’t heard that concise an explanation of the orange versus brown jacks on the rollz, other than knowing the rules per them being output only or androgynous.
off my own subject but that could explain some of the weird behavior i’ve gotten patching pb sometimes, are there any things to keep in mind with the orange rollz as far as places to not patch them on pb?
patch them only to things you know are inputs? i wish i could be more helpful but i’ve only messed around on a pb for maybe an hour and otherwise researched/coveted it and built my own rolls 
the main thing to keep in mind with rolls and most other pulse circuits in pb is that it’s pretty well all discrete AND banana jacks, they’re much more open to doing things we aren’t used to because its not based in logic - it doesn’t operate in terms of 1+1=2, its more like a really sloppy bucket brigade which is definitly the appeal for me. try plugging a steady lfo into a brown node on the 3 roll, then patch to a brown node on the 4 roll - theyre just the best for reliquishing control and having a collaborative relationship with your instrument

Peter B has recommended that you do not patch the browns with eurorack due to risk of damaging some modules. Orange should be ok.

Has anyone thought of making an “active” format-jumbler box to interface CL to Eurorack?
Rather than just connecting a 3.5mm jack to a banana and connecting the grounds together to a black jack, you could make a powered box with op-amp buffers. Even better, put an attenuverter after the buffer.
It would be strictly one way, though - i.e. Ciat-Lonbarde to Eurorack OR Eurorack to CL.

The one i made does this too
