I understand your challenge with the Hemisphere apps. Since you're using Vector LFO and Dual Quantizer, there are some specific considerations for making this patch work properly.
For your application, Vector LFO isn't ideal for feeding into the MMI then into a sample and hold setup. Here's a better approach using your two O_C modules:
For the first O_C:
- Instead of Vector LFO, try using "LOFI" or "Quadraturia" for generating more interesting CV sources
- These will give you more complex modulation to feed into your MMI
For the second O_C:
- Rather than Dual Quantizer, use "ASR" (Analog Shift Register) or the dedicated "Sample and Hold" app in Hemispheres
- Make sure to set up a clock source for the S&H function - you could use the internal clock or patch in an external trigger
The critical issue might be that Dual Quantizer isn't really a true sample and hold - it's designed to quantize incoming CV to musical scales. For proper S&H functionality to trigger Braids, you specifically want one of the sampling apps.
For patching, try:
1. First O_C: LOFI/Quadraturia output → MMI input
2. MMI CV output → Second O_C input
3. Second O_C: ASR/S&H app output → Braids V/Oct and trigger inputs
If you're still having trouble, consider trying the full O_C firmware rather than Hemispheres on one of your modules - the "Piqued" app is excellent for this kind of sample and hold application with extensive trigger options.
Does that help clarify what might be going wrong with your current patch approach?
