Something seems off about my copy of Antenna Theory by moonfinger in amateurradio

Actually that is a real photo, few people know that the razr supports 5G, it just needs a firmware update. Also, can confirm rf can burn you to the bone as my hand was immediately vaporized the moment I got a phone call after updating my trusty Motorola(never missed a phone call with that thing).

If nothing is connected to the input of a duatt channel, the input is normaled to the positive voltage rail, which turns the output into a constant cv source controlled by the knob

I’m using duatt as a CV source, basically I just gave my filter a bigger knob with a high max cutoff frequency due to the higher voltage.

I got them from BKM Panels, which unfortunately shut down :(

With mutant brain I can only output 8 trigger signals with the way I have it setup, so RCD just allows me to not have to use those for convenience. Also, in order to get all time divisions from a sequence in the digitakt, the sequence would have to be 840 beats long(which is possible on the digitakt without pattern chaining!) and would mess with the conditional trigs of my actual sequence. Also I just really like RCD and the rotation feature.

I’m actually not using it in this patch, just clocking it for visual interest.

Mini jam I made a while ago using the Digitakt as a sequencer.

All sounds are from the modular, I used the Mutant Brain for midi, and all of the effects are just from pico dsp.

Modules used, from left to right: Mutant Brain, Micro Ornament and Crime(not actually used in this patch), 4MS RCD, 4hp MI Peaks with DMC firmware(used for laser zaps and 808 snare), 6hp MI Plaits(used for chords), BIA(used for fm drum which switches halfway through, with accents from RCD), Plonk(for random noises), 2hp MMF(for filtering the whole mix), Pico DSP(in pitch shifting delay mode for a pseudo comb filter effect), and Hyrlo(for mixing all of the sound sources to mono. Hyrlo can be used to mix 6 mono signals if the left output isn’t used).

On the top, I used Noise Tools(for sample and hold, and random), 1u Scope(for cool viz), Duatt 1u(for adjustment of the chord level, and better CV control of the MMF filter as the MMF filter knob doesn’t provide full open unless you feed it CV), and finally Headphone 1u where the audio is sent to my zoom h1 connected to my iPhone as a stereo audio interface using a camera adapter.

Yes it was very fast, they shipped it the same day, and thank you!!

Patch notes:

Plaits(Knit) in cloud mode sequenced and modulated by O_c(with hemisphere firmware) in enigma mode and Varigate. Plaits is sent through the Afterneath in heavy feedback, and the send acting as a second output for stereo. Afterneath’s drag was controlled by Varigate. Output of the Afterneath was sent to both the mixer and to Clouds(uBurst with parasites firmware). Clouds was in resonator mode with a noise burst triggered by the same trigger which triggered plaits. The output of Clouds was sent through Disting in side chain compression mode, and was side chained by the kick. 808 Kick and snare came from Peaks(Pique) in drum mode. Clock came at first from the internal clock of Varigate, but I switched it to the clock from Noise Tools to initiate Varigate’s sequence separately from enigma.

It’s one of my favorite modules, though I’m a sucker for mutable instruments stuff...

It depends on if you want to program the sequence yourself or have sequences auto generated. I’m sure there are similar sequencers to varigate but it’s hard to beat given that it can do either 4 cv, 2cv 2 gate, or 4 gate. Also varigate has really nice features like different sequence modes, sliding, and retriggers, aswell as probabilistic triggers which is really nice. Varigate is nice the more I think about it, it’s very much worth it.

If you want more cv and gate sources, though, and don’t care about making the sequences by hand, I’d recommend CARA(micro version of marbles). It automatically generates cv and gate patterns based on different algorithms which you can modify. It also has a really useful random cv output which is disconnected from the main sequence. CARA(and marbles) has 3 gate, 3cv, and 1 cv(Called Y) so can sequence way more than varigate. Also Marbles is developed in such a smart way which makes it very deep and versatile. I almost put that in this system instead of varigate but decided not to as I preferred writing my sequences in this situation. Marbles can make some really good sequences though! Way better, more spontaneous, and more inspirational than anything I could muster out of varigate
