this has been on my to-do list for a while BUT i talked to andrew the other day and there is chatter of a smaller 4x4 cv matrix mixer in the works (release date tbd) so, potentially good news for anyone who doesn’t have 42 hp to spare, or who doesn’t need 32 vcas. other than that, it seems pretty great. on all my nlc builds that require pots (especially ones that call for crappy plastic trimmer pots) i sub in t18s instead (since they occupy the same footprint on the pcb) for more some more torque and stability. even if it cramps things, would rather have panel-bolted pots any day, but thats just me.

also everyone needs a splosh :slight_smile:

found an interesting use for my Vactrol PiLL, (modified with the extra resistor so it never really shuts up entirely) if I just put an adjustable DC offset into the first input and nothing else, it spits out a very slow clock which gradually rises in speed and can come back down again by controlling with the offset

EDIT: made a not great video demonstrating this :smiley:

I love this design detail for the power connection! :heart:

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.

#275

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.

#276

It’s always intrigued me, but I don’t really understand it. Could you give me a wee description please :pray:

#277

Wondering if you - or anyone else - knows the voltage range of the Bindubba? Is it 0-5v?

#278

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.

#279

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.

Hello! Welcome to lines!

#282

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!

#283

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?
