It’s just frustrating when I can see that all four inputs are doing weird and wonderful things, but most of the outputs are staying quiet because they’re on the wrong side of the rectifiers’ thresholds.

You can always mix a positive and negative together. Also I’ve been having good luck throwing in at least one more regular bipolar LFO to keep things moving.

wow…thanks! It’s an excellent way to learn the NLC stuff and decide even to buy them as hardware.

Hi,

Anyone have buy Choral Generator ?

I am really intrigated about regen pots…

looking for people who have used the beat freq module. Not entirely clear as to what the pots are supposed to do. and I have one :slight_smile:

any creative patching ideas welcomed

#395

When the ring “moves around”, depending on which input frequency is higher, each step is a voltage. The pot sets the voltage level. Note that in between each step, the output returns to 0 so you actually get 8 steps: four voltages and four 0v. These come out of the CV output.

Here I’m using it as a sequencer, so each step is a note set with the pots: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAU4Ugh8_P/

Here I’m using it to make a sub osc, since each step flicks back and forth between 0v and your pot you can kind of build your own waveforms step-by-step as it travels around: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFHzwsB-Xk/

A great way to just understand what’s going on is taking the output of two oscillators that are tuned as close as you can. Beat Freq will oscillate at the beat frequency of the two oscillators slight detune. Now detune one of the oscillators and watch it spin. :slight_smile:

awesome explanation! thanks. will try it out tonight. so, the pots make the CV out work as a sort of 4 step sequencer then?

#397

Thanks for these demos. Sounds fantastic as a sub-osc.
Excluding its unique design, the basic structure of how it functions seems similar to 4seq and Divine CMOS: four steps with knob-controlled voltages. I’ve never really used in-rack sequencing before and acquired those two only recently, but right away I found this approach to be excellent fun; it brings stuff to patterned life almost immediately.

Yes, exactly, but it’s more an 8 step sequence since it returns to zero between steps, so four of the steps are always your root note. Quite unique, but sounds nice! :slight_smile:

There was a post in here a few days ago by a member whose alias I sadly don’t remember, with a link to a sound demo of a Wangernumb controlling several parts of a patch. Coincidentally I was just about to take receipt of one myself, and held off replying till I’d spent some time with it. But now it (the post, not the module) is gone.

Whatever your reasons for deleting the post, thank you for sharing it for a while; I enjoyed how that patch sounded and, having now got to know the module myself, I think it’s a right bizarre (but useful) circuit and I’m pleased to have it. I’ve begun using it as the main clock divider for general use around the rack. Roulette is indeed interesting. Meanwhile the PLL can go to all sorts of places. Lastly there’s something extremely pleasing about the panel design.

hey! sorry that was me, and yeah, it’s rad, isn’t it?? the gate division is very musical to my ears, so much better than a straight divider just churning out the regular. if they’re happening too fast, filter them back a little. i do have a doepfer 162 gate delay on the front end, mostly just to play with the PW of the incoming clock, very useful with triggers that wouldn’t normally ping the WN. here’s that audio again!

That’s the one, cheers! Yeah, very musical in how it works. Just now I’m seeing some lovely rhythmic (but nonrepeating) patterns when the input comes from e.g. an audio-rate drum loop.

I have just bought one this week, Haven’t sussed out the Roulette yet, so any patch ideas would be most welcome…Thanks

#403

Roulette outputs divided signals when the input signal is high, although it seems the rate at which it does this is inconsistent (it depends a lot on the range pot and CV). So a gate going into roulette will produce bursts.

I’m still getting to know it myself, but it’s fun with audio. I tried a sampled drum loop (one of those on radio music) going into roulette. Each beat advanced the divider steps, resulting in a range of musically useful (but oddly patterened) gates. It’s so great that there are so many divisions.

Right… excellent, I think I get it now, so you either use the divider or the roulette , great idea with the drum loop, may see if it works with a drum machine. Thanks

i really like the sound of the demos for the lucas ablea dispersion delay. im just not sure i want to spend 200 on it and i probably couldn’t build it because i don’t have the test equipment that seems necessary and i dont see any schematics or diagrams that im familiar with. anyone have any experience with that one? is the signal path more interesting than just a bandpass filtered delay? is it as cool as it think it might be?

I find it useful and interesting, particularly as a mono-to-stereo or dual delay with slight variation on e.g. each channel’s filter frequency. Of course the PT2399s are important for the sound of the module as well: I love the sound of the delay when it’s right on the edge of breaking and the feedback is high. The usual splintered texture of the chips combined with filter modulation is right up my alley.

I’ve been working on a bunch of very quiet minimal stuff involving heavy use of this module. Here’s a couple of examples. Perhaps not the most typical/helpful uses of the module though.

hi There, Just popping in to say I enjoyed these three clips an awful lot. Great use of the NLC module (which I haven’t played with… yet) and just overall cool sounds. Nice one.

ooo i think you just sold a unit. thanks for the feedback. those are gorgeous, exactly what i was hoping for

Wow, I hadn’t ever heard a calm demo of this filter. I love that breaking up sound. Really good demo.
