still loving this versatile panel. here's another try at generating pseudo random natural rhythms by using the crosspatched feedback of the two 258 through the added tws. bird sounds with the lowest vcm in feedbackloop and hiss/noise by feedback patching the middle section of the vcm. slight delay by c0 and occasional octave shifts by the g0.

258 rustling

a test with live input and a ramp wave into depth cv so audio gets played back in reverse even though it "wants" to be played forward. a test with spoken word and a simple tone sequence. grainsize is important here, only with very small grains the backwards effect is audible, all grains are still played back forward. as soon as the g0 gets a gate on its reset input the audio gets played back in reverse, if it's free running then the playback gets heavily slowed down due to the ramp wave in the depth cv.

g0 live reverse

ncom in a feedbackloop through vcfq in lo mode pings a res4 which transposes with the ncom steps out. c0 delay and fsh1 + manual playing.

ascending resonances

d0 and mmf6 create the feedbackloop, inside is the toppobrillo twf. careful adjustments of pressure cv and filter settings created this rather brassy tone.

lw dronez

ultra simple experiment, main oscillator gets a 13 note sequence, the second oscillator gets the same sequence minus one note, so twelve notes. the second oscillator modulates the first in an fm/waveshape combination and so the shifting of the sequences is heard only in asymetric fm tones. i feed in the second oscillator as generator as well so the two sequences are more clear/clean.

lw fmshift

some sort of tonal metaldrum made by pinging the haible tau phaser and sending it through a) a dual bp filter b) a frequencyshifter and c) a convolution unit.

testing the papomi mixer/polarizer. a great utility for feedback patches.
delay, filter, frequencyshifter and mixer.
the recording starts as if a bird is imitating j. s. bach ... very weird :)

reupload of just the c1 bbd example. it's my favorite delay now :))

analog fm sequence with two doepfer A-110-4 thru zero quadrature vco's. 

doepfer tzfm

another short fm sequence. this time the a-110-4 is sequenced by pressure points and fm'ed by qmmf-4. e560 deflector shield and mungo d0 added movement. some eq and reverb itb.

mungo g0 in sample playback mode, first the clean speech sample is heard, then the g0 plays the sample forward with smallest grain (width) size and a unipolar lfo rampwave into the depth modulation input. Depth Offset knob is centered, this is appr. the start point for a loaded sample. depth modulation attenuator is fiddly to set, it depends on the sample lenght and the speed of the incoming ramp wave and also the voltage of this lfo!!, so first with zoom out, then with zoom in for fine control to find the perfect start and end point. manually changing the lfo speed to slow down the sample and manual control of the pitch to show that these two controls are independant. 

g0 card - speech forward with rampwave

a sort of imitation of colin stetson saxophone playing, actually just another try to sequence a res-4 feedback patch going into mmf-6. sequenced from er-101 with cv going into the er-102 for volume, filter symmetry and resonance. pressure points and planar helped to get a lively feeling although it is quite a simple repetative sequence.

again a thing the d0 can do...phase modulation. since the delay times can go as short as 0.2 ms it's possible to get phase modulation sounds like on a single dx oscillator, cristal clear.

d0 phasemodulation

core is a feedback loop of the fsh-1 frequency shifter, inside the loop is c0 and mmf-1. modulated by r*s dsg. rhythm and pads itb.

something like a patch diagram: https://imgur.com/6oNm0yH

one output of the fsh-1 goes into the c0 delay (the delay is crucial in this patch, most of the sound gets produced here), the output of the delay goes into a limiter and then back in one input of the fsh-1.
another ouput of the fsh-1 goes into the mmf-1 filter in dual bandpass mode, from there the signal goes again into a limiter and into the second input of the fsh-1.
this is now the basic closed feedback loop, i listen to the mix output of the fsh-1.
by playing around with all the settings i get different tones, again, the delay is crucial here, how much feedback is determined by the limiter and general volume controls or frequency controls of all three modules... now to get a rhythmic patterns going i plugged this "bouncing ball" envelope into the second input of the filter, that is enough to only get feedback at the high portions of the envelope eg i get a rhythmic feedback pattern. variations in tone by manual control of the bandpass settings and the delay time plus occasional tweaks at the limiter section for louder or more distorted feedback. the patch is delicate, i tried to replicate it and i wasnt able to come close to these tones, but other great ones:) enjoy modular synthesis!

2x lw 258 oscillator through vcfq. er101 triggers dtg which opens the vcfq

lw 258 test

still exploring the dtg. pseudo-echoes are possible with the trigger input of the dtg, since it doesn't retrigger while a cycle is running one can create great syncopated rhythms and echo-like figures. one function opens a vca, the other a filter.

a short test with the fantastic LW 258VCO (coupled with serge waveshaper). this connection and the joint feedback path makes these two osc extremely versatile. lots of harmonic overtones and even undertones possible depending on what mixture of wave is going through the tws.
also a test how to use the addac stochastic function generator in a tamed setting, every envelope is slightly different, the sequence gets "humanized".

a first play with the fancy synthesis rungdivisions module, a great pairing of a clock divider and a rungler circuit. it's really great to have this rungler circuit opened up and available for any kind of input/clocking. here it's inside a dusg/ssg feedback patch, it receives clock from a dusg eoc and data from a noise source. voices are pinged twinpeak and mmf-1 filter, delay from d0.
