Hello,

I had a similar issue. I’m not sure if it applies to your situation but try recalibrating o+c. It’s a lengthy process but now my pitch cv, across outputs, tracks as i expect.

Sorry if you know this already, but it wasn’t obvious to me when I first started using CopierMaschine: once you’ve turned the left encoder to choose a scale, make sure you click/press the encoder to actually activate it. Until you do that, you’re just scrolling through the list of available scales without changing which one is being used for quantization. The active scale will have a dot next to its name.

Thanks everyone, a few things for me to try here

Does the Quantermain app handle bipolar input, just wondering if I can feed my Batumi LFOs into it without offsetting it first?

#188

Yes it works. The o_C CV inputs accepts -3.5V to +6.5V in general. Depending on the output voltage of the Bantumi you might have to attenuate it (or offset it… or both).

#189

Hmm with this in mind, would -5v to 5v or 0v to 10v be a better source? I often leave o_c chained after midi input from fh-2.

#190

read the manual. the save procedure is there.

#191

i usually start from a classic analog shift register patch with copier maschine then use flip flops (or clock dividers) driving both envelopes and sample & holds for the additional voices, each one sparser and with longer notes than the preceding one. this way you get a much more interesting orchestration technique than just the typical ASR.

@dansimco: another trick to get very consonant lines is to use pentatonic scales, they contain intervals that usually blend well with one another when performing chords. primitive but good sounding!
or just make your scale mask containing only the notes you chose. eperiment with different solutions. make a new scale mask each time you try it to further explore meaningful harmonic relations, and enjoy controlled dissonance if you like it (i do)

Turns out my mangrove wasn’t tracking well :man_facepalming:

Some time ago, I bought a used O_C and later learned that the first trigger/gate input doesn’t work—i.e., when I send a signal to it, there’s no response. Has anyone else encountered this, and is there a fix for it?

#194

That input doesn’t do anything in any mode? It sound like a hardware problem.

#195

Piqued question: I’ve got the latest firmware that adds EOC as trigger input. But the channels don’t seem to trigger an EOC when they’re in ‘looping’ mode (i.e. gate high = yes and max loops = 0). Is this intentional? Means that using Piqued for a Krell patch isn’t as straightforward as I’d hoped - currently working around this by using a comparator to get the EOC trigger.

#196

Yeah, I think that’s expected. When looping it doesn’t actually reach the “end” that would generate the trigger. Like many other things it was something of a test feature, so the simplest possible implementation (although it could IIRC support different trigger points fairly easily, someone just has to add them).

Finally finished building mine :slight_smile: some bodges but it works*. Bought the wrong pushbuttons so I just bent the legs. Since the photo I put hot glue underneath to support them ha

Installed hemispheres, seems extremely promising :slight_smile:

  • Edit - it works but does seem to cause some interference in the self oscillating filters I use as VCOs, not yet figured out if thats some problem with the o_C build or my cheap and nasty power situation. Reflowed every solder joint which looked suspicious but no improvement. :frowning: The noise seems related to the OLED screen - the pitch of the interference changes slightly when stepping thru menus, eg different when there’s a lot of pixels turned on vs other screens which are mostly black.

  • Edit 2 - actually that problem was caused by power line interference from the OLED on some £3 chinese function generator i made into a module :smiley: disconnected that and everything is fine ha

Please keep us informed of hemispheres- how’s it going with XOR?
I’d love to be able to use both o&c and hemi at once or at least an easy way to swap between the 2

#199

Does o_c have the ability to run 1 channel as a Turing machine and 1 channel as a quantizer all within quantermain, without running hemisphere? I like the idea of being able to self patch the out of Turing machine into the quantizer.

If not, that would for sure be doable with hemisphere, right?

#200

There is no need to self patch you can setup scale and desired notes in Turing machine settings.Turing machine output is already quantized.

Quantermain has built-in Turing machines available per channel, selectable in the CV source menu.

Is there a reaktor ensemble version of Ornament and Crime? Or perhaps vcv rack?

Not that I’m aware of. It doesn’t seem to be a great fit anyway, if one wanted to put in the effort it’d be more useful to maybe extract individual apps and give them nice UIs…
