By the way, in the docs for Arcane, I’ve started to try frequently mention how my module can be used with modules by other authors, this whole modular synth world generally has a big “if you don’t already understand this stuff, you don’t belong here” aura, I’m trying to go against that.
Here’s a few more Arcane and Darius recipes that didn’t make the cut in either the docs or the demo patch:
When set to Ramp mode, Arcane can drive the ZZC Clock, and presumably the ZZC Phaseque
The notes outputs being in a random order is meant to give you a starting point for a possible melody, but they work well with the Sort mode of my splitters and mergers. With a setup like this, you’ll generally get chords that sound good! (Notice the dummy cable on the Swerge to force it into 2x4 rather than 1x8 mode)
The quantizer is polyphonic! You probably don’t need a lot of instances of Arcane in a patch. If you do, remember that Atout has the exact same features but won’t display today’s card.
You’re not limited to using the patterns in 4/4 time! When you connect only the first output of an Aleister bank, it gives you the results polyphonically. Combine it to your preferred clock, and 23v’s Switch N:1
When sending simultaneous gates to Darius’ new inputs, they are treated in this arbitrary order of priority: Forward⯈, Up⯅, Down⯆, ⯇Back. But they need to arrive on the same sample! Every module in the signal path adds at least a 1 sample delay. It’s recommended to cook your own solution with logic gates to avoid sending Darius two gates at once. I’m looking into what I can do to improve this behavior without breaking patches or adding complexity for users.
