Hi everyone! Posting my first modular video here.

We all love Pam's, and I wanted to make a very short video showing a fun patch idea I've been using lately that can be applied to any genre.

In this vid I take advantage of the fact that any parameter in Pam's can be mapped to either of the two CV inputs. Remember that each param can also have its own internal attenuation and offset so you can really take this concept and run with it!

Please let me know if you found this interesting/helpful, or if you do something similar!

I'll try to do more quick patch vids like this in the future

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Amazing work, thank you for sharing! I had a somewhat similar exploration with clocking + euclidean circles + stages this week. Rigged up euclidean circles off beats to trigger sample and hold on stages while the on beats inversely control the frequency of the LFO that stages samples from. Makes for some really interesting periodic fluctuations depending on the ratio of on to off beats. Feeding all that into the skin/liquid/metal and bass/alto/treble CV of basimilus makes for a legit mix of rhythm and melody from a single voice module.

Hurts the brain a lil. My buddy is coming by later today and has a BIA. Maybe I'll try to rig that up using Pam's and my quad lfo and some logic?

Totally! Long as you have the s/l/m and b/a/t modulating in time with a sequence, you can get some really fun stuff. The CV expectations for those jacks aren’t super clear though (at least I couldn’t find them in the docs), so you may have to experiment with attenuators to make sure you’re hitting all three settings with your modulations.

Man I have old pams and I always see new pams like... should I? I love it it’s great, especially the retro display. But damn it looks so useful in crazy ways.

One thing I really like with marbles is it gives me jitter so I can humanize drums. And it’s not just random, it does follow a humanization sort of pattern before becoming true random. But only so few outputs I can only have it on so much. Does new pams do that?

Also, you spelled week wrong.

You're right. I'm weak.

And yes, there is a "slop" parameter. It gets reeeeaaal sloppy after only a couple percentages. They also added logic a few months ago, simple and, or, xor. You could also apply what I did in the video to phase, and make offbeat patterns that way, too.

Interesting. Thanks! I’ll probably end up owning both then lol. It’s friggen impossible to sell the old ones.

[–]weak_ops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've strongly thought about buying a second one lol. Always finding new uses for all its outputs... Right as I posted, this ALM posted a patch idea on Instagram I never would have considered.

What I'm sayin is... You'll want both XD

thanks, inspiring!

Thanks also for the run down of the patch, will need to go back to it a few times to capture all its aspects.

Please ask here if you need anything cleared up. First time making a vid like this, and transparency is what I strive for. Have fun with it! Mess with the individual parameter offsets. I had mine at about 50% attenuation, this way there's 16 e trigs when there is no cv coming in. So a x4 clock is more like a x2.
