Four MOTM-700 VC Router patches

Four MOTM-700 VC Router patches

2006-07-04 by John Loffink

Full wave rectifier

Ingredients:
Signal source
MOTM-700 Dual VC Router (1 stage)
Oakley OMS-802 Mixer/Triple Attenuator (need gain of -1)

Signal source to MOTM-700 CV IN and IO B
Signal source to OMS-802 IN1
OMS-802 OUT1 to MOTM-700 IO A
OMS-802 IN 1 knob at -5
MOTM-700 switch knob at 0
MOTM-700 mode switch to voltage
MOTM-700 output is full wave rectified waveform


Pulse Divide by Two

This divides a square wave frequency by two. Good for clocking/gate
applications or suboctave square waveforms.

Required Modules:
320 VCLFO or 390 uLFO or 300 VCO
700 VC Router
Oakley Multimix (MOTM mixer does not have enough gain, need gain of -1)
910 Cascaded Multiple

Connections
300/320/390 TRIANGLE to 700 CV IN
300/320/390 SQUARE/PULSE (set pulse at 50%) to MULT (Note: this needs to
be the same oscillator as the triangle wave)
MULT to Oakley Multimix IN1 and 700 IO A
Multimix OUT1 to 700 IO B
700 IO X is divided square out

Settings:
300/320/390 Rate/Frequency = any
700 Mode = voltage
700 Switch = 0 for square wave, any other setting for uneven pulses
Oakley Multimix IN 1 = -5

For modulation of pulse width, mix the TRIANGLE wave with a second LFO
sine or triangle, then feed that to the 700 CV IN.


Syncopated Clock with Random Probability

Another application for the lowly MOTM 700. This gives a nice
syncopated, semi-random clock, but always on the beat.

Required Modules:
100 or 101 Noise/S&H
320 VCLFO or 390 uLFO
700 VC Router
830 Dual Mode Mixer
910 Cascaded Multiple

Connections
320 PULSE or 390 SQR to Mult
Mult to 100/101 EXT CLK, 830 IN 3, 700 IO A
100/101 S&H OUT to 830 IN 2
830 OUT1 to 700 CV IN (A/B/X)
700 IO X is syncopated clock, send to ADSR gates

Settings:
100 LEVEL = 10, SLEW = 0
320 or 390 RATE = about 8
700 SWITCH = +0.5 to +3.5
830 IN 2, IN 3, BIAS (optional) = set to taste


Semi-random patch

Ingredients:
Any 2 LFOs
MOTM-700 Dual VC Router
MOTM-820 VC Lag

Any LFO 1 waveform to 700 IO A
Any LFO 2 waveform to 700 IO B
700 IO X to 820 IN
820 OUT1 to 700 CV IN
820 OUT2 to any control voltage input, VCO pitch, VCF cutoff, etc.

LFO rate, Router switch, and Lag Up, Down and Up/Down will cause
significant change to the semi-random pattern. Adjusting the Lag
control too far to the right may cause the Router to stay pegged to one
side. The patch creates a feedback path so that lagged versions of LFO 1
and LFO 2 alternate control of the router switching.

Thanks very much, John!  I do remember you posting these before.  I have 
added these to my website, credited to you, so we can all remember them 
easily:

http://www.pugix.com/top-cabinet.htm#motm700

I did a bit of editing and added my Mixer-Comparator as an alternative 
mixer in the patches.

Re: [motm] Four MOTM-700 VC Router patches

another one, probably obvious to most 700 drivers ...

3-way switch

ingredients -
3 signal sources
MOTM-700
CV source, preferably bipolar (eg MOTM-320)
mult

connections -
CV source -> both MOTM-700 CV inputs
signal source 1 -> MOTM-700 IO A
signal source 2 -> MOTM-700 IO B
MOTM-700 IO X -> MOTM-700 IO C
signal source 3 -> MOTM-700 IO D
MOTM-700 IO Y is the output

settings -
MOTM-700 mode at audio or voltage depending on flavour of signal sources
MOTM-700 top switch bias knob at 10 o'clock
MOTM-700 bottom switch bias knob at 2 o'clock

the CV will then switch between the 3 input sources. the difference 
between the two switch bias knobs is the size of the window where 
signal 2 is selected. standard noise->S&H isn't a very good switcher 
here because of its bell curve distro, some tweaking of the window 
size is required.

let's have more 700 patches!

enjoy

and the 700 makes a great little arpeggiator too with the help of Larry's wonderful voltage shift modules
(but now is a very bad time for me to do a patch - hopefully, over the weekend i'll get time...)

Re: [motm] Four MOTM-700 VC Router patches

yep that's exactly what i'm doing - i'm using the 700 to randomly 
choose between the 3 notes which form the major chord of the scale, 
set up with a JLH-822. this decision forms half of a melody voice, a 
component of The Factory. The Factory is barely crawling right now 
but when it's walking and puking i'll post more details....

tip #1 - use the channel a to set up a 2 note arp, feed the output in channel b and...

tip #2 - use the channel b to set up a key change

of course it requires a pulse divider to drive all this - whether MOTM pulse divider (is that out yet ?) or wonderfully cheap CGS pulse divider (i love em) or a very simple divider built around a 4580 (i think)

cheers

Re: [motm] Four MOTM-700 VC Router patches

2006-09-22 by xamboldt

Here's one I just threw together, I'm not sure if anyone has written  
about it yet:

Waveshaper

Basics needed: VCO & 700. for modulation, a CV source (LFO, EG, etc)  
and a CV mixer, and/or another VCO

Both switches are set to voltage
Take a sine or triangle from a VCO into Y of the 700
Plug C into A, and D into B
X will be the output
If you're using the sine from the VCO, plug the triangle into both CV  
inputs (or vice versa)
Moving the knobs changes the waveform of the output signal.

If you first take the CV wave from the VCO, and mix it with another  
CV source, and then plug it into the CV inputs, you can get some  
modulation of the waveshaping, with different breakpoints being set  
by the knobs.

If you plug another VCO into the top CV input, you can get some weird  
FM stuff happening.

The MOTM-120R with the DB-120 board makes a handy pulse divider:

http://www.tellun.com/motm/diy/db120/DB-120.html

It says that this is currently still shipping.  You would have to make 
your own panel, now, as the original Stooge panel isn't available any more.

Yes, the DB-120 daughterboard is still available. I've been in 
contact with Scott Deyo (mailto:contact@...) on the 
synth panels group 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ModularSynthPanels/) regarding panels 
for my sdiy projects, including the DB-120. If all goes according to 
plan, you will be able to get Stooge-like panels for this in the near 
future.

Now this is great news! I will buy some when they're ready. -- skw
