I'm just scratching the surface of possibilities for my two Miniwaves. I
did not realize the Miniwave did quantizing at first. When I learned it
did, that contributed to my decision to build two of them. I'm interested
in melody generation. One relatively simple patch I use is to start with a
CGS Infinite Melody to generate two correlated 1/f random sequences. These
do not sound random, but more like a child doodling with a flute or
something. Each of these goes through its own Miniwave on Bank 15, the
quantizer, and then each drives a MOTM-300 VCO 1v/oct input. The result is
a walking harmony. Modulating the wave CV on the Miniwaves changes the
quantizer to different scales. I can control them separately or together --
the CV inputs track pretty well. The whole patch has a lot of parameters
that can be controlled by LFOs and envelopes. The only bad part is that I
can't use the Miniwaves for wavetable synthesis at the same time! I could
even add a third Miniwave and VCO to this patch, since the Infinite Melody
has three correlated outputs.
Email me if you are interested in more details. I also have Matthew
Davidson's Quantizer and Mosine EPROMs and the Blacet Socket-Rocket EPROM.
I like them all.
