A 5-module patch (Cyclebox, ES-3, Maths, A-132-3 and Echophon), using an Apple Magic Trackpad to control portions of each module.

The trackpad is routed through the "Fingerpinger" object in Max, outputting X and Y coordinate, as well as angle, data through the ES-3 as voltage.

The Echophon parameters being modulated are (a) Depth, (b) Pitch, (c) Feedback and (d) Echo time.

Late night abstract acid modular jam using the MakeNoise rene, brains, and 4 pressure points. Everything clocked to 1 plan-B mini ELF lfo. Trying to make squelchy acid bass lines with the WMD Gamma Wave Source - Dual WaveTable VCO.

Note: the audio was recorded into my ZoomH4n, no computers or drum machines used here.

This video shows the following patch:

Maths Channel 4 (called "Channel 2" in the video) set up as fast square-ish LFO (Lin curve, mid Rise, zero Fall, full negative negative output)

Chan 1 patched to Oscillator CV in and Filter cutoff

Chan 4 patched to Chan 1 Both and Filter cutoff

Osc-to-filter-to-out

This patch creates a strange-behaving stepped LFO sequence. Sequence length can be varied with Ch 1 Rise/Fall controls. Sequence speed can be varied with Ch4 Rise control.

The upshot of this is that while the up-up-down-down sequence loops, the lower notes in the sequence slowly move up and down, while the higher notes in the sequence follow the same motion, but about 90 degrees out of phase. This creates a disconcerting shepard tones-ish effect.

Maths is fun.

Beginner introduction to SNAKE mode on the RENÉ cartesian sequencer by MakeNoise for eurorack modular systems.

Make Noise René... Non-Linear Sequencing, a Source of Certainty. Footage taken a few years ago, of a very early prototype for the René. At this point we were not using a micro-controller, but instead many many logic gates!
