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.
