How are you using this module?
Patch set-up examples, audio files, video links, etc...........
Thanx!!

John L Rice has a couple interesting videos on Youtube.

I use it as a clock divider, clocked by a sequencer which spits out divisions to envelopes or a switch (an obvious way to use it). I like hooking the stepped output directly to the input of a filters frequency.

Look at the NEWS page on my site. Go to YouTube and type MOTM-730 and watch
all the JLR videos.

Re: [motm] ATTENTION MOTM-730 OWNERS:

I'll give you a description of the one I'm working on now. I have 4 voices coming out of the modular...

Voice 1:
/2 goes to MOTM-480 FM 1 (set to -1.5 so the division effectively muffles the filter a bit) /3 goes to the Resonance. So there's a bit of rhythmic variation on that voice. When /2 is low and /3 is high, the voice gets a little 'accent' and distorts.

/4 applies an EG to the Doomsday Machine's External Rate input (the DM's output goes to the MOTM-480). I'm not sure how I happened on this and the effect is really subtle with the current settings on the DM. It animates the voice, though... gives it a little tremolo.

Voice 2:
/5 gates a secondary voice that just burbles along with the rest of the song, but the stepped output goes to her filter CV, so I improvise on the 4th/5th/Octave switch at various points in the song.

Voice 3:
/6 is going to the bass voice's Oakley Diode Ladder Res input. It's just adding a little bit of a nasal quality in the bass, but it's really subtle... less obvious than the slight phasing on the voice. But when I disconnect it, it's not the same and no amount of just playing with the resonance knob gets back the magic. It's the special sauce.

Voice 4:
/9 is the piece de resistance. It syncs an MOTM-320 running a triangle into the Shape CV of an Ian Fritz 5 Pulse waveshaper. When the 730 is running at full divide, the voice in question is an indistinct mush (it runs into a 30B delay with the delay time running off an LFO). But when it's running at half, the LFO has a truncated cycle and the voice's harmonics remain more defined.

So I use the half divide to both speed the burbling voice and, at the same time, clarify the sliding mess while the accent on the main voice becomes more poppy.

Oh, and the 730 is triggered by an impulse from a Machinedrum on every sixteenth note, but the impulse has a slight swing.

Much of the 730 effect is subtle, nothing that pops out and says "That's the resonance and frequency of the filter alternating!". But it's all in time to the beat and gives it a distinct feel that nothing else could.

Hope that helps,
eric w f

And there is one experiment I did NOT do a video for. (SHOCKING, I KNOW! ;-)

There is a thread for it on Muff's site called: A quick MOTM-730 VC Pulse
Divider Experiment - Feedback
http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14239

Here's the link to the MP3 but I don't know if you need to be logged onto
Muff's to download it or not:
http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/download.php?id=2498

Here's the patch more or less:
½ M569 Sequencer -> MOTM-300 VCO
½ M569 Sequencer -> MOTM-490 VCF
MOTM-300 VCO -> MOTM-440 VCF audio in 1
MOTM-730 /2 -> MOTM-440 VCF audio in 2
MOTM-730 /6 -> MOTM-440 VCF audio in 3
MOTM-440 VCF audio out -> MOTM-490 VCF and MOTM-730 clock in

Basically, I'm mixing the original clocking signal along with two of the
730's outputs back into the 730's inputs. Obviously the 730 can't clock off
of something too radical, but with some subtle tweaking you can get some
interesting and glitchy sounds.
