I must admit because Cwejman modules normally hit me with sticker shock i don’t look too closely at them…I just googled the RG6 and wish i didn’t. Looks ace!

I was about to ask how you were liking that, but since you have two I guess I don’t need to :slight_smile: I had an O_C for a while which I mostly used for the Piqued app, and then sold it when I realized I preferred analog envelopes and wasn’t using the other features at the time. But Hemisphere has really got my attention.

I often keep length in the 3-5 range. Sometimes even length 1 is useful with the right amount of Deja Vu dialed in :slight_smile:

Yesss. I totally agree. Funny thing about running just 3-5 steps, on the surface its easy to underestimate what you can get out of it. I dig keeping Deja Vu at 12 and then tweaking it to 10-11 for a second then back to 12. Seeing as it is only 3 steps my brain is quick to assume the outcome…but a lot can be done for sure!

The O_c is something that grew on my over time for sure, but it offers so much i knew it was worth the hp. I run one with the basic hemisphere firmware which keeps all the OG app minus Meta Q and the the other is running the Hemisphere suite. the suite interface it super duper immediate and quick to navigate. Love it.

I even dig just using Mables to feed the (t) section to the 0_c trigger ins with any cv from the marbles, all sorts of scales and options are available. Marbles is the brain and the O_c are the appendages :wink:

Alright. I’m out running errands but saw a post on Instagram. This one https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm4dL3FFUoe/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=122qz0qhtdbdp

What does holding the t section button do exactly? I’ll test when I get home.

There was discussion of the hidden modes at MW starting here:

Red is a variant of coin toss with a third equally weighted no-trigger choice.

Right on. Thanks for the link!

Where did you preorder from? It looks like some stores have them in stock – Nerd Audio for one. (Check wigglehunt.com, and take “in stock” on that site with a grain of salt but check the individual stores it lists.)

I have always had bad luck trying to preorder from Perfect Circuit. Control seems to be better but they look like they’re out of stock too – it’s probably waiting on the second production run.

wow i missed this entirely, as a reader and a serious marbles-head

Not sure if this is the proper place for it, but I made a quick modification to the Marbles firmware to take out the triplets and quintuplets, leaving only power-of-two divisions and multiplications. I really like this mod for drum sequencing and keeping beats nice and crisp, but I tend to switch between this and stock as I see fit, so I wouldn’t look at it as a replacement for the standard firmware. :slight_smile:

just started researching marbles today… and have to say that this thread has some of the most musical eurorack example patches i’ve heard on this forum or elsewhere!

kudos folks… and to MI for making such as musical module.

on the wishlist for sure.

Yep… its ace!

Musical is definitely how I would describe it. I think the whole MI line is incredibly musical, and I like to think they were designed from that perspective rather than from a lab/theoretical sound design type approach (which is also cool of course).

Didn’t want to do a double post on this (just posted in the “latest tracks” with a Rene2 and Marbles as the main sequencers), but yeah would have to agree with musical.

Lately I’ve been using it almost like a “soloist”. I’ll have a few musical ideas I feed it over time and use the Steps, Bias, and Spread as a way to push in different directions. With the mod option on the Rene 2 and a Just Friends as the voice, a ton of variations and ideas can be explored really quickly.

A Soloist is a great way of describing it! It’s like your own little Eurorack musical collaborator :grinning:

Another cool thing I have found; self modulating itself using that handy Y output.

This is pretty similar to how I use it. Rene2 and Marbles are the brains of my system and I like to play Marbles performatively almost as much as I play Rene. I primarily enjoy locking/unlocking the sequences, and playing with moving deja vu from noon (locked) to about 10 o’clock or so to evolve the sequence. Sending it into Rene for either clocking, or cv mod for things like location, direction, snake, z-mod, etc. Endless possibilities!

Sorry for crossposting but I am looking for a way to have my TT expand on a Marbles sequence. Perhaps there are people im this thread who might point me to something? Thank you!

#130

after the inspiration from this thread, i picked a marbles up last week.

here’s an initial experiment in slowly evolving a hocketing rhythm for two voices (rings in the left channel, 2hp pluck in the right).

still a ton to explore here… would like to delve into more subtle, less overtly rhythmic territory next.

a couple things that get me out of overtly rhythmic zones w Marbles:

•slow tempo
•modulating rate and everything else(attenuation please) (this may be totally apparent of course)
•also maybe obvious but keeping jitter on the CW side of things scatters things nicely.
•fun w clock input. Marbles doesn’t need a pulse, you can get funky or sparse - it’s billed as a random sampler and clock in triggers that function.

off the top of my head so have fun!
