I drooled when I first started using it :drooling_face:

Wow, and there I was watching shifty demos, with a 6 ch shift register/s&h under my nose! My Rene is in love!

the zorlon cannon mk2 is my fave module. so useful! both in audio rate and as pseudo random gates and melodies! i love how the editing is done, the visualization, the led’s visual feedback…plus it sounds awesome! and not only confined to noisy atari sounds! try the audio rate outs into some lpg!

Two full cases now… I’ll just pretend I didn’t read how awesome the Zorlon is, while my Harvestman row chants

every time i see this thread and read up i get a lil sad as a have a borked diy 5u asr from dretchnsketch and it didn’t droop (when it worked). now it just drools.

is it a droolmaster?

:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

i need to get it working but i do not know how to troubleshoot the analog circuit.

Hot damn. Takes quite a bit of stackcabling (unless I’m missing some easy way), but I’m having no problem just multing my clock to every s&h step on the Stages—it just works! Now I’m wishing I had more v/oct destinations to add to the canon…

Yeah, that is a lot of patch cables crammed into a small space :grin: Maybe someone should make something similar to Buchla shorting bars for Stages.

If precise clocking isn’t needed – like if you’re going to combine segment outputs in a mixer to create CVs – there’s always the timed hold in red mode. Could be more interesting than clocking them all together :slight_smile:

Could you explain how you patch Stages as a shift register? I’ve had Stages for a while and have used it as a sequencer, s&h, and sequential switch, in addition to enveloping, but I still feel like I’m only getting about 5% out of it what I could be.

How did you get on with this? Saw your patch on the C&G site. Looks great! Any audio samples?

One tiny note on your patch is that you have a saw wave lfo running in to the quantizer. It may be worth running the lfo through an inverter so the lfo is ascending rather than decending.

Six sample & holds chained together. Mult the clock to all 6 gate inputs, and mult each output to the next segment’s input.

Starthief’s explanation is how I do it.
I find it melodically interesting to build a large shift register but to not take all the outputs to a sound source. I’m my work, a five step shift register using notes from steps 1,3,5 (or whatever combination) gives a much different flavor that a straight 3 step register using notes 1,2,3.
A sequential switch after the shift register is also interesting.

i’m gonna try this simply to see if my patch cable collection can do it/take a picture of the resulting nest

Yeah, I’ve often had fun using just 2 vcos being cv’d by my Quantimator but using outputs 1 and 3. Gives the melodies a more of a sense of space.

I mostly have Modular Addict stacking cables which are higher profile than Stackables. The nest is a bit frightening :sweat:

i have both it’s gonna be madness. especially as i can chain to Telephone Game and Marbles for uh 13 stages.

poll:

should i actually spend time doing this?

i think i just troubleshot mine!

Hey, I think it turned up well. Still have to convert it to Organelle. This is the out from PD. It starts shifting a few seconds in. :slight_smile:

it’s…reaching out…to you

gotta try it at least once.
