As for Elektron, I still have the core collection and I still use them sometimes but again, it sort of comes back to this thing of a closed system. Why should I limit myself to 3 Ifos when I can have 3000?

Not sure! I've gotten out of eurorack completely. I find the flexibility of something like VCV rack to be more interesting then a closed systems with hardware. I'd also add that for the most part, the way l used eurorack, it was entirely digital. My last eurorack system was essentially an

It’s funny actually. Playing with logic gates in eurorack is actually where I realized “oh, if you have on/off logic you can sorta doing anything….Oh…ohhhhh.” It’s still breaks my brain when I think about it.

Whether this envelope with get triggered again or will it trigger another one of these patches that would be set up the same, but with some different setting and different sounds. The interesting stuff happens when you start using all of the envelopes, VCA’s, LFOs for this main idea to modulate

Trigger a plucking sound. The envelope is also sent to the speed of the lfo, the pitch of the pluck (or whatever sound) ect. End of cycle of the envelope triggers a random which randomizes the attack decay of the main envelope. The EOC also goes to a Bernoulli gate. So there is a coin toss between

The main thing the patch is based around is a triggered envelope being sent to a comparator. The gate is high if the envelope is happening, so no matter how slow the attack, or how long the release, we get a high gate. This gate is used to open a vca that allow a square wave to pass through and

The main idea in this new tutorial video is setting up lots of modulation BEFORE adding any sound. This is a great way to do things because it allows you to really quickly assign things to the macros and just experiment. youtu.be/NzNHOzP2Ffw

This is a new little M4L Jitter visualizer I am working on called Confetti. The idea behind it is to add it a track, then put a Drum Rack after it (obviously you don't have to use a drum rack). Then, when you play the drum rack notes, little shapes appear.

As electronic musicians a lot of the game is about making a track quickly and efficiently and now it’s done. Whereas some more traditional, instrument playing musicians may start writing a song and practice playing it and figuring out works and what doesn’t over the course weeks or even years.

Week 1 of Touch Designer is a wrap. I’m finding that a huge part of the work flow seems to be about compositing. There is so much you can do with that alone. It’s incredibly experimental and really open to connecting to outside programs which has been lots of fun to connect with ableton and max.
