I’m trying to use my midi pads to trigger different quantizer scenes for Repelzen’s Re-Win Quantizer. The only thing I could figure was to offset the signals to the corresponding voltage values for each scene, then ‘add’ the signals in order to combine them into a single channel, then use an ‘or’ operation to generate a trigger, run it through another offset in order to push the lower voltages above the trigger threshold, and then run through a sample & hold.
EDIT: Ugh! The following looks like it should work, but it does not! The problem is all the docB CV “buttons” are treated as one single control when you map. However, the fact that the scenes are scaled at 2/3 V per scene is still useful info
This is very similar to the @Omri_Cohen solution, except it is much more compact and I think easier to setup by using the docB CV module. Except it does not work!
The Re-Win Quantizer Scenes input is scaled at 2/3 V per scene. So right mouse click on the CV Lvl knob (Ctrl-Click if Mac), and enter 2/3 (or .66667). Then simply connect the CV output to the quantizer Scenes input, and make sure the Scenes knob is fully counter-clockwise (scene 1)
My Venom Poly Unison provides the necessary voltages for the first 8 scenes via polyphony. Set the RNG (detune range) to 5V (green), the DIR (detune direction) to Up (green), the Count (polyphony count) to 8, and the DETUNE (detune spread) to 56 semitones. This works out to a range from 0 to 4.66667, with an increase of 0.66667 per channel.
The Grande Splt8 splits the polyphonic input to 8 mono outputs, which then get patched to the ML Modules Triggered Switch 8 to 1. Finally the switch Out goes to the quantizer Scenes input. You should be able to map up to 8 midi pads to the switch buttons.
You can substitute Venom Recurse for the Poly Unison which makes the math simpler - you can specify the channel increment directly as volts. But it uses more hp.
Set the RECURSION COUNT to 8, leave the SCALE at 1, set the OFFSET to 2/3 or 0.66667, and the mode to nPost (adds the offset after each return). The SEND output will then have the required 8 polyphonic channels.
I like to use pianoids with a switch (triggered) into quantum (using notes in, toggle in, and reset) to pull quantization settings from the chords. this can be done live, or sequenced.
Interesting, that Recursion module looks handy for incrementing values, I’ll have to play around with it. Didn’t realize you released so many modules, look forward to checking them out!
I see you’re using pianoid as the chord bank, then switching between them with a trigger. I didn’t realize you could use Quantum that way. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, it wasn’t the original impetus for creating Recurse, but the ability to quickly create a polyphonic series of evenly spaced voltages is a handy feature.
By the way, after you set it up, you can either save the preset on CV MAP, or save both modules as a Selection, so you don’t have to do everything again for future patches.
Tried something similar, triggering custom notes (also voltages) by bashing on my AKAI LPD8.
Maybe not as elegant when it comes to math, but this solution worked well for me:
Thanks for your suggestion, works great!
