Risset Rhythm
So I think I have kind of figured out a way to create a Risset Rhythm in VCV:
R2_38_Rissett1.vcv (5.5 KB)
So how does it work?
The first CLKD creates the initial BPM (I don’t know if this works, I haven’t played around with it, its set to 120). The BPM CV is sent to a sawtooth LFO and attenuated with a LOG2 function (this was the trick), and gradually changes the BPM of the second CLKD, 0 to 1V (one octave). The 3 subdivisions of the clock is switched using 3 sequential switches.
So you get 3 tracks, increasing in tempo, but in phase with one another.
The volume LFOs work the same way but simpler. I think that rather using a Bernouli Gate instead of volume could give some interesting results.
If you want the tempo to decrease instead of increase, you would need to invert the Time LFO.
Please let me know if there are any issues with the patch. I would love to know if anyone has some suggestions to improve it.
Have fun
