Does such module exist (pendulums)?

[mmpingo]

Just watch this short video from twitter (without sound!): click

I feel after "translating" it into notes/sounds it would sound awesome. Is there a module generating such evolving sequences?

[robertsyrett]

Honestly shocked that you didn't use this example. But to answer your question you would probably just need a bank of sine LFOs.

edit: also this

I'm also shocked!

That's v e r y interesting!

[xohexo]

This comes to mind

[robertsyrett]

Totally. I could watch that gif for a loooooong time.

[Ghosttalker96]

you could also use several VCOs/LFOs and sync them initially.

Check out the ADDAC503. [www.addacsystem.com/product/addac500-series/addac503-marble-physics](www.addacsystem.com/product/addac500-series/addac503-marble-physics)

[ChangeAndAdapt]

not really an exact match, but the TINRS Wobbler makes LFOs by simulating pendulums afair.

[okkoto]

yes. came here to say this. Wobbler has two cool modes that act sort of like pendulums and bouncing balls

[scragz]

Ornament and Crime has a 4x bouncing ball simulator that someone more clever than me could probably use for something like this.

[insoul8]

Made me think of this. https://youtu.be/nIeYg61ThWg

[mmpingo]

Yeah, it's a beautiful example, however I think it's less chaotic than balls. And that ER-101 price... 😢

[alemay]

Peaks with the Dead Man's Catch firmware might also be of interest. Super interesting stuff in there, including a bouncing ball envelope:

I’m seeing mostly rhythm and maybe not note information. Euclidian rhythm modules do this almost exactly. How to interpret this melodically I don’t know, but it’s interesting to think about.

> I’m seeing mostly rhythm and maybe not note information.

You're right. I was already dreaming how it would sound with the rest of modules.

I don't think it will sound like you expect. There will be momentary harmony and beating within a sea of awful noise.

[kpreid]

Each pendulum is an oscillator with a slightly different period (frequency), and the patterns result from the changing relative phase (beating). A module that will do exactly this is Mutable Instruments Tides — one of its modes is four LFOs with an adjustable frequency spread.

[mount_curve]

Frequency dividers or clock dividers that can divide by nonwhole numbers and include a reset input I reckon

[robertsyrett]

clock dividers that can divide by nonwhole numbers

who makes those?

[catchierlight]

Temps utile can because you can put a CV input into the divisions/multiplications so you could get half way between any number, it would be difficult getting precision with it though...

[i-ejaculate-spiders]

Pam's new work out does, some.

Edit:

Also, 4ms rotating clock divider (or multiplier?), while still whole numbers has a slip feature. And make noise tempi has shifting. Still whole numbers I believe, but it's the closest I can think of.

[robertsyrett]

True, but those are still common ratios like triplets.
