hey, im not on here all day, and i only use this website for fun (i like designing things) but i got some negative feedback on my '4 case everything system' i posted to this forum, so, i am back with a 2 row 100hp system, that again, i am thinking of as a total production solution. feedback, please. imagine i have a keystep pro, too. link:
oops, i thought the chord output cv. not really paying full attention. that kind of messes with the whole design. hmm, anyone know of a module that will take in one cv and output 4 chorded cvs? does that exist?
i guess this kinda still works as is, but i wanted more cv options for other oscs.
found a flaw in my own design.
etc. ... peace. ... ... ...
(edit)
oof. i was thinking about modulating the demon core fm with chorded cv, but i realize now, too, that those are fm amount ins, not fm frequency select ins. btw "claude 3.5 sonnet" is really good at working through this stuff if you copy paste the spec sheet. i just realized my whole ida is flawed. oh well.
...
feel free to comment on the general idea of a single rack case configuration that can be patched to fulfill on a variety of final sonic territory without needing to swap modules.
like, almost a personal daw replacement etc.
but yeah 'claude' spotted a problem i missed.
maybe i should delete. idk. peace out. ✌️
so, i somewhat recreated the signal path i thought the chord already provided. link:
any suggestions on how to recreate a similarly styled synth voice with less?
i wish this place was more active, but "claude 3.5 sonnet" does give instant feedback, just so yall know and you can ger a good number of free credits per day.
i wish someone would give some feedback.
peace out. ✌️
(edit)
or, suggest any ways i have not thought of to use a chord generator to modulate just the harmonics of essentially a single voice. etc.
just looking for feedback. peace. ✌️
gah, im making a mess accidentally.
what are yalls thoughts on a "chord v3" that has a toggle for cv mode, and the linear fm in turns into a clock in for arp out of mix?
am i the only one that would find this useful?
also, do any of yall have any type of information at all about single osc fm voices that take in multiple cv notes? ive played around a lil with original fm paths in pd, but like, are there any single voices yall know where you feed in chorded note cv? thx...
also, if the devs read all the posts...
"claude 3.5 sonnet" can give really helpful modular advice already, and free credits are available. maybe consider a new feature that leverages llms to give direct feedback?
i dont seem to be able to post into the 'modulargrid' section for some reason.
just think instant ai feedback where you could converse with your racks and patches right from inside the forum would be a really cool feature. replies feel slow, etc.
just an idea. peace out. ✌️
what i was thinking about:
lets say i want 1 fm voice, where you can alter harmonic overtones using some kind of root note and chord type selector, like where chord choice alters tamber more than just adding more voices, like, where you can have a cv sequence and select some kind of tone parameter that seems chord like, does anyone have any idea how to do that in eurorack? i already know how i would ho about trying to build this in pd, etcetera.
...
but just, maybe, if anyone is still reading this, just give some feedback on 1st post.
...
thx. ✌️
also, i cant seem to finally clear this up:
does anyone know, the fm ins on the demon core expander, i know they are 1v/oct, but do they represent frequency parameters, or intensity parameters? cant find that info.
i know there exist possible techniques to create arbitrary overtones with fm tech, but is that what those ins do, or are there 4 'set' fm presets that you change the intensity of?
kind of techy, but i wonder if anyone knows.
thanks for anyone reading. peace. ✌️✌️✌️
ok. i stopped being lazy and did a deep dive on the qu-bit chord, and it turns out it basically does what i wanted from the start completely self contained. so, i have 4 voices in the brainstep and 4 osc modules, plus a hypothetical keystep pro, so i think this is all playable as is. i just got a little antsy replying to myself when no one else was. can anyone please give some feedback about using this rack as a performance instrument? thanks.
peace. ✌️
i cant seem to get any feedback. maybe yall will like this design better? link: ... ... ... ... ...
maybe ill remember to check back in a couple days. my notifications dont work.
peace. ✌️
(edit)
i hate to say it, but this site is very glitchy.
etc.
((edit))
switched a few modules. updated now.
Sorry you're not getting feedback. Mind clarifying a few points?
Admittedly, I'm not personnaly familiar with most of your modules, and I'm overall entirely confused by the Tukra, so my feedback is only general. However, I'm not seeing much in the way of modulators and core utilities (vcas, LFOs, attenuators, inverters, offsets, etc...). Maybe your modules can cover some of these functions (the Tukra looks like it might be able to do some of this). However, utilities are the glue that actually tie the big-ticket items together into a singular instrument and shouldn't be overlooked. If you do have hp to spare, I think it might behoove you to add some. The ones I mentioned above should be the main focus, but there are plenty of interesting circuits out there that can add surprising magic to your patching (I simply adore comparators and sample and holds). However, like I said, I'm not overly familiar with this suite of modules, so maybe I'm not seeing some functionality.
Maybe others who know these modules better can add on. Good luck with your modular journey!
the goal is like all in one band in a box, where i could make a hip hop beat, d&b style arrangements, ambient drones, and spontaneous melodic improvisations, etc, that includes interesting textures, a full sound, and ability to play with modulations and dynamics.
i do not have a keystep or any other gear. i am a design-head, without any modular funds, presently. both main designs posted have lfos, the loki comes with its own vca, envelope, and filter, and i was playing around with the idea of creating a deeply complex tone, where modulations followed a chorded pattern, on the first rack posted, but i realized i had some naive notions about what modules did, so now the chord is just a 4th melodic voice with cv coming from the brainstep or keystep.
i just would like some general comments about the idea of setting up one rack once in such a way to allow maximum creative potential into the future that can provide a unique sound and enough to fill a full mix.
its not so complex what im trying to do if you just think in terms of lead / bass / rhythm / drums, and then the question becomes, have i given myself enough sequencing controls to 'compose' almost on the fly?
also, the second design is meant to explore off kilter polyrhythms using the tempi to manually set different tempos etc. ... ... ... which maybe might seem more modular, like... each module is on its own manually input and alterable clock, using the op ned to create multiple out of synch arpeggios in the same scale, contrasted to a performable melody on the rene, as syncopated notes.
what id say im really going for is unique performance options. id really like some more feedback on how well yall think that is working on those. claude 3.5 gave the first rack i posted an 8/10 btw. peace out. peace.
✌️✌️✌️
and, then i designed two more self contained instruments, just for fun, less sure of these 2.
peace. ✌️
