One of my favorite Cheap Tricks With Rack is to modulate the Model for Macro Oscillator 2/Plaits with random CV. BUT
Is there an easy way to modulate the Model and skip the ones (like the Vowel & Speech Synthesis) that end up sounding way louder (and more obnoxious) than the other models.
When I think about it, all I can come up is to use a module to generate exact voltages for the models I like and put them into an 8:1 router, and clock it randomly.
Which I can do but is there a simpler way to do this? And what scale are the voltages to select different models?
I can imagine to use the Bogaudio ADDR-SEQ (or any other sequencer) and set some steps to the desired voltages and randomize the steps, which is easy with the ADDR-SEQ via the CV in, and it is expandable for more steps with the ASX.
That makes sense but there’s no documentation on what the voltage stepping per model advance.
Which raises another question: What module can you use to quantize voltage to a linear increment?
Like given an increment of .5 map a voltage in the 0-10v range to 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 etc.
I would use an 8Face connected to a voltage source like bogaudio offset for example. Then you can just dial in the different models and save the voltage as a preset in 8Face. The trigger input of 8Face has all possible options for randomness or you can sequence it.
Seems a little bit too much imho as well. If you want to redraw some wave or curve and if you are happy with 6 points i would recommend nysthi bz-mapper.
