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?

#1848

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 :stuck_out_tongue:

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 :radio: :pinching_hand:

just made this full potential unlocker for cocoquantus. :wink:
it’s actually just an attenuator mixer but it works great.
i got the idea from someone on facebook who made an attenuator for the coco and went from there.
you get plenty of control over things.

Looks cool, very industrial. What is the aim, though? I get attenuator, but what is meant by attenuator mixer?

#1854

I’ve got to believe you it’s working fine, but it sure as hell looks splendid! <3

#1855

I imagine they meant attenuator/mixer - meaning it can either attenuate or mix signals.

Just catching up on the handful of podcasts I follow and love your spotlight. Also hope you throw it on bandcamp at some point.

yes! it goes like this:
4 inputs which each have a mixer/attenuate knob and on/off switch.
this way you can blend the signals.
the 4 mixed signals then pass through a master attenuator knob (the one at right side) to tune in more detailed sounds.
after that master attenuator knob there is a momentary switch, when pushed it lets the signals pass through and a switch to let them pass all the time.
and 4 outputs with all the same signal.

No plans to throw it on Bandcamp but if you’d like to DM me your email, I’ll happily send over the WAV’s, MP3’s & album art :black_heart:

Really appreciate the listen :pray:

a little plumbutter, shnth, op1 and continuumini jam

working on a new fish bowl (specifically for the shnth)
this will be the third collection of patches I’ve released (camp, pillow fight being the other two)

I feel like after a long break of programming it is behaving even better than before!

I’m still focusing on patches that allow you to set the shnth down and let it play for a bit before pressing a couple buttons and having a totally different feel

Very excited to see the new patches! Pillow fight has lived on my shnth for the last year.

A bit late, but this was a nice one. It can be fun to go wild with the cocoquantus, but I have found a more reserved hand leads to more beautiful(?) results. I also discovered that I love the sound of single notes playing in reverse. good stuff.

Awesome! Your patches always inspire to write my own! Thank you!
