Is it normal that if you turn up the Timbre control past say 2 o’clock a large amount of noise is heard? I found that even with nothing patched into the T&T much noise is introduced. Slightly more in channel one compared to channel 2 but still very noisy.
I have the single Timbre, but yeah there’s a heap of noise in my Timbre. I’m fairly certain the Timbre and Timbre is the same circuit twice. Odd that there is a different level of noise between the two channels though.
It’s always intrigued me, but I don’t really understand it. Could you give me a wee description please 
Wondering if you - or anyone else - knows the voltage range of the Bindubba? Is it 0-5v?
Any idea the best way to measure the voltage output? I’m running it through my Ultralite mk3 into VCV rack, but it’s only showing 0.1v on the gate and sequence out. I’d say it’s because the inputs aren’t DC coupled.
I just got an answer from Andrew. It typically outputs 10v but you can switch out a resistor to make it output 5v instead. On another note how are you liking yours?
Hi everybody!
A friend told me about this thread, certainly it is a good read.
Glad to see the modules are making people happy and perplexed to some extent.
Anyway, working on a Karplus Strong module (sort of), some more 1U and a black box VC ADSR. If it wasn’t 40C+ in my shed I might actually go and build them.

Looking forward to hearing about the new modules. I’m especially interested in the 1u modules since that’s the main place I still have space in my rack!
Anyone using Numberwang to great effect?
I love it in theory but it’s almost too many gate outs, I always end up combining several with logic to get more populated rhythm patterns.
My one other trick is using the more occasional gates to initiate various slow envelopes over some background timbral parameters.

I was going to get it to couple with Let’s Splosh to derive gates from it but in the end I preferred Divine CMOS for the size and other functions it offers, but I’m still exploring it.

I feel like Statues is the fully-realized version of Numberwang. It’s much easier to make use of a sliced-up LFO than a bunch of gates.

I don’t have Numberwang but I have a few other modules with lots of individual gate outputs - Doepfer a-152 (8 individual gates) and now the NLC Bindubba sequencer (16 individual gate outs!) - and like you I use OR and XOR logic to create denser patterns or use the individual gate outputs to trigger envelopes to alter timbre. I’ll also use a single output to trigger a sample and hold or the NLC Sauce of Unce, sometimes using the random signal to then alter the clock rate or speed of the cv source controlling the a-152 or Bindubba, which can create some interesting interactions.
I’ll also use an output to advance another sequencer - usually one controlling Timbre (Pressure Points + Brains is great for this because of the three rows).
On another note - I just picked up a Flip Flop Chaos module to add to my growing collection of NLC modules along with Sauce of Unce, 329 Phase/Flange, Bindubba, 2 Sloth 1u tiles, and a Difference Rectifier 1u tile. I really love Andrews designs - I’d love to try some of the filters someday.

Does anyone have the Signum 1u switch yet? I’m a little confused about how the switching works since it is a 3 state switch with only two inputs. Am I correct that 0v = no output, anything over 1v is output “a” and anything under -1v is output “b” or am I reading it wrong?
The switching point has been set to approx +1V (rather than 0) and is controlled by the ‘switch’ input. If nothing is patched into switch, then the signal on the lower input jack controls the switching.
I can build these to switch at 0 if anyone prefers, it is simply a matter of leaving off a resistor.
So, if the signal on the switch input is above 1V the the upper input arrives at the output and the lower input is passed for for under 1V. At approx 1V is the zero point, which is the click you hear when passing audio, hence this module is great for CV but not so much for audio.

Question for the 1050 Mix Sequencer owners in this thread:
What exactly do the two switches do? I know there’s the option of running it as an 8:1 sequential switch or as two 4:1 sequential switches, but since the switches aren’t labelled on the panel, I just want to have some clarification on their functions before I decide to buy or build one of these.
Also, if you are an owner of both the NLC 1050 Mix Sequencer and the Make Noise QPAS, please let me know, as I’m curious about the pairing of these two. I’m imagining running it as two 4:1 sequential switches and basically treating it as a stereo sequential mix sequencer. Wondering about the smoothness of transitions since this isn’t a vactrol-based mixer like the RxMx.

That is absolutely lovely. 
I’ve mostly been thinking about complex control signal into Let’s Splosh, completely overlooking using an offset like you did here. Seems like Cold Mac will be a better friend of this module than I thought…

oh yeah, for sure, the mac is a great companion to splosh no matter how you slice it, especially since, in theory, you could have audio and control all swirling around in a feedback loop between them. imagine that would get bonkers real fast.
