Random Rythmic Clock Patch

2002-02-01 by grantrichter2001

The Oct+ and Oct- outputs from the Sequantizer can be used to 
modulate the Classic VCO in fixed rythmic intervals of half time 
and double time.

Classic VCO in low range (LFO).
Patch the Random output of the Classic VCO to the VCA IN1.
Patch the quantized output of the Sequantizer to the 1V/Oct input 
of the Classic VCO. Reset the Sequntizer and set stage 1 to 0. 
The Sequantizer is not clocked for this example, we are using 
just the transpose function. Take the VCA output to either the 
Oct+ or Oct- input of the Sequantizer.

Advance the VCA gain, the VCO will start randomly alternating 
clock pulse with exact half or double time pulses. The probability 
of the pulse is set by the VCA gain. The input threshold of the 
Oct+ and Oct- inputs is around 1.5 volts, so not much gain is 
needed.

Another experiment:
Route the random output to a Mixolator X input and route the X 
and Y outputs the Oct+ and Oct- inputs. Another signal can be 
used to control the Z input. This will produce a mixture of normal, 
half and double time pulses as the random voltage is panned 
between Oct+ and Oct-.

The clock pulses can be used to trigger an Envelator controlling  
the Waveform City VCA. The random voltage can be used to 
control WaveCity pitch and produce a random sequence with 
fixed rhythmic intervals.
