any UEG patches out there..?

any UEG patches out there..?

2001-02-21 by sikorsky

hello all,

don't really know why i'm posting this, as it's bugger all use as patching
information, but i had a great time last night with my UEG and MOTM320 in a
feedback loop, (sine to tcv in, ueg out to v/oct in), then add a pair of
vcos, put the trigger out from the UEG into the trigger input of a MOTM100,
wire in a pair of MOTM700s (this is where it gets a little hazy), modulate
everything via everything else, put through a 4 track reel to reel rigged up
as a tape echo, put the controlroom feed from the console back into a filter
v/oct input via my oakley envelope follower, drink a cheeky little pinot
noir, and then become convinced you've created artificial intelligence...
...i swear the thing (sorry i've not named my system yet), was actually
talking to me - you know the score, moving off towards the door somehow
coincides with excited squeaks and burbling, move back toward the modular,
and thrill to the sound of relaxed purring & rumbling
    great fun, i'm sure you'll all agree - did i record any of it..? damn
right i did, but the really interesting stuff only occured after i'd
switched the DAT off - typical
so apart from complex envelopes / filter sweeps, and simple sequencing,
anyone had any other applications for this great little unit..?
cheers

RE: [motm] UEG tweaks!

2001-02-22 by Tony Karavidas

Yes, I can't leave it alone!

What would you UEG owners say if the GATED-STEP mode (the simple sequencer
mode) had this enhancement:

Allow the level to be adjusted WHILE the UEG is sitting still? This would
aid in setting up pitch for each stage. Now if you like that idea, how about
having LEVEL 1 through 7 control stages 1 through 7, AND IN ADDITION, have
TIME1 control LEVEL8? Currently LEVEL8 must default to zero volts because
there is no level control for stage 8. Robert Rich and I were on the phone
and he suggested it's a little awkward to have to set the oscillators "base"
note to correlate with the zero volt output from stage 8. (I kind of don't
like burying things in the interface, but in this case it might be a good
compromise)

If I here overwhelming "go for it" I'll add it to all the units that haven't
shipped yet. For anyone that already has their UEG and wants this just send
it to me and I'll update it.

I've also extended the TRIG OUT time to 5mS. This should help it trigger
more things with ease.

Your quick reply is requested, people are waiting for these. The manual is
done with exception of the above issues.

There was a mistake in the previous email. I said TIME1 and I meant TIME8.
I've corrected it below:

Hi-

Some people might complain, but I wouldn't mind this feature at all. Er,
that's because I don't reallly have any in-house step sequencers at the
moment!

RE: [motm] More UEG tweaks!

2001-02-22 by Tony Karavidas

One more issue I've been working on is the switch bounce. I have found an
implementation that doens't penalize the response to the leading edge of a
trigger, BUT it does limit the repetition rate of the GATE.
For example, if I use 5mS dead time on the rising and falling edge of the
switch, the input GATE is limited to just under 100Hz. This isn't a problem
when it comes to using the UEG as an envelope generator. It takes over 60mS
just to complete all the stages so most likely your input gate repetition
would be slower than 60mS. If you try to input a faster gate, you simple
start to chop off the final stages. The issue is with GATED-STEP mode
(sequencer). Without any debouce code, I can take the UEG up to about 450Hz
input, and it runs fine all day.

So I need more feedback: Would you like a little debounce is exchange for
some gate speed, or screw the debounce switch stuff (since you hardly use
the switch) and keep the speed?

Go for it Tony, at least on the GATE-STEP mode.  Regarding the debounce, the only
thing that I think is lost is the ability to use the UEG as a audio-waveform
generator.  I've tried this with other sequencers and the results have not been that
interesting so I don't think there is a great loss in reducing the input frequency.

You could have another switch that turns de-bounce on/off. But---_oh_, then
you'd need to de-bounce THAT switch... so you would need ANOTHER switch...

  Go for it.  Is there an in-circuit programming issue with the amtel
part, and can I just swap uCs?

For anyone that want this update and you ALREADY have your UEG, it either
has to come back here OR if you happen to have the Atmel in-circuit
programmer, I can send you a file and you can program it yourself.

There is no need to do a uC swap (it's soldered in anyway)

  I prefer debounce, myself.  Of course I spent years having to deal with
user interfaces to PID controllers, and debouncing was pretty much
mandatory.  Even so, not being driven nuts by a noisy switch would be
nice.

Me too.  But, I really will buy it if it has any features I like.  I am
happy to pay for good software that is useful to me.  Same with music CDs.
I have nearly 1000, not one a copy.  But, I also HATE buying software only
to find it SUCKs.  It is one of the few products you cannot return.

RE: [motm] UEG status

This is an update to the UEG staus:

The manual is done and is up on the site again in the "Manuals" area.

All units that have been ordered to date have been either shipped or packed
and ready for shipment. They actually would have shipped today, but UPS's
website was all screwed up and I didn't get all the shipping done until 6PM.

Some of you received UEGs a week or two ago, and there have been some
enhancements to the unit, so I would strongly suggest you send them back at
your earliest convenience. And besides, I'll return them WITH manuals!

Here's what's new:

In GATED-STEP mode (aka sequencer), the output can now be adjusted while the
UEG is parked in a stage. So now you can step, adjust pitch (or whatever
else you're controlling) step to the next stage, adjust again, etc...
Stages 1 through 7 are adjusted by LEVEL 1 through 7, and stage 8 is
adjusted by TIME8. It's pretty cool.

In LOOP-ONLY mode, the loop point switches do not reset the UEG to stage
one, but rather reset it to the start loop point.

The TRIG OUT jack now outputs a 5mS pulse instead of a 300uS pulse.

and last but not least: A BUG was reported, found, and fixed which had to do
with certain TIME setting in LOOP mode with LOG slope! Ouch! (sorry about
that) There was a slight math error that caused the waveshape to overflow
and essentially "wrap sround." Could be a cool feature, but since I didn't
plan for it to do that, it's a bug. It's also dead....

Some of you have asked if you can perform this upgrade yourself instead of
shipping it back. The answer is no.
The microcontroller is soldered in and is not removeable. (not under
warranty at least) It is upgradeable in circuit; if you happen to have an
Atmel ISP you can do it. I have a feeling no one has one of these devices.
If you send it back here, I will upgrade it and get it back in the mail in
one day, maybe even the same day depending on how things are going.

There are also some of you asking about availability of the UEG. I have
plenty. I made 100 and I think about 40 of them pre-sold. (Thank you) So for
the rest of you, no worries.

Did you see it in the March Electronic Musician? Pretty good timing
considering the big MOTM review was is the same issue!!!! (Congrats Paul)
