Master Clock Module

Open blackearth2014 opened this issue 7 years ago • 39 comments

msHack,

Have you ever thought about developing your own clock generator for your sequencers? I for one wouldn't mind seeing what you can do with a 3x LFO for the triad sequencers or a 6x LFO for the 6x 32 trigger sequencer. Maybe this way we can fake a Euclidean sequencer model.

haha, just working on a 6 channel clock. All based on the same internal clock pulse but each channel will have x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x9, x12, x16, x24, x32 and divide for the same amounts. Also each channel can be clocked by an external clock. Was also thinking of adding a "Human" Knob to slightly vary the clock. Any other ideas?

You must be in my head, I was also going to call it Master Clock.

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 03:11 mschack

right now I am working on an LED digital display to show BPM

The time clock that you creating is great. If I may, can you make the interface a little bigger, especially the LED's. The human feel button will be the bomb. Also if possible, if you plan to implement the sine, triangle, saw and square as waveform additions, can you put a little box above or below to invert the waveform. For example, the triangle will be inverted upside down. Some how I will find some use for that.

Can you add a counter module as well.

Also another idea, the filters that you are using for Eq's on the mixers, can you develop them into a module, with CV for each bandwidth and self oscillation with a V/OCT input control.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 03:11 blackearth2014

yes the interface will be big.
The filter module is an interesting idea, I will think about that.

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 03:11 mschack

Will you still be able to implement the chaining of the mixers.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

I have been pondering that, need to make a little more room which means redrawing the faceplate. It is in the queue

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 mschack

Its truly not needed. That is just a personal request not a community need.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

I've had another request for that as well. Would chain the AUX as well.

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 mschack

Wow, Cool Breeze.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

any other modules you can think of. I would like to make some monster delay with tons of settings, kind of inspired from UHE's MFM

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 mschack

Now you are in my head. You should check these guys out with their crazy delays and taps at https://www.ohmforce.com/ViewProduct.do?p=OhmBoyz.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

Your ping pong delay is already wicked. Just add some LFOs to the feedback parameters like ohmboys.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

lol, 39 LFOs.

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 mschack

Trust me when I tell you. I use to use that effect when it first came out over 15 years ago and it was banging then. I made some crazy dance tracks with. It just became officially beast mode.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

My ping pong delay is getting better, especially when I added the sync clock, but It still doesn't do that nice crisp 8th triplet bounce that I am looking for. Best I ever heard I think was in Rebirth

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 mschack

The LFO is the secret sauce to a banging delay.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

I was pondering making an LFO module with something like a 8 by 8 LFO grid where you can link them together somehow. I have no idea how that would work but it seemed cool in my head. lol.

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 mschack

Right now my delay doesn't explicitly pan it just feeds back the delayed left channel audio to the right and vice versa. Perhaps just simply panning the delayed signal back and forth would work better, then I could incorporate the use of LFOs.

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 mschack

You can add some 1x8 input mults and 2x8 input mults, Evelope Generators, S&H with FM inputs modules, and FM modules.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

"8 by 8 LFO grid where you can link them together somehow" - I love the idea.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

With a random button of course...

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 mschack

Of course

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

This is a video of a track that I had written over a year ago when I was living in Cleveland before moving to Buffalo, NY at https://youtu.be/YzU00UgUNAA. The main software was Tantra at http://dmitrysches.com/products/tantra.

If you can find a way to do the basic action of this vst as a module, you will be untouched.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 04:11 blackearth2014

cool!

mschack avatar Nov 23 '17 05:11 mschack

Here is another old track. Just listen to the sounds and you can see where I am coming from as weird sonic texture and sequencing at https://youtu.be/Z8yGfc9D5K0.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 23 '17 05:11 blackearth2014

never thought a clock could get so complicated...

mschack avatar Nov 24 '17 20:11 mschack

Are you the only developer or do you have a partner to help.

blackearth2014 avatar Nov 24 '17 20:11 blackearth2014

It's just me. I was recently laid off from my real programming job. So got lots of time on my hands atm :) Just released it, check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiQciS8ch5U
