Need Help; individual step length with phasors

Depends if you use a different clock to step through the sequencer, if the gates from the phasor are driving the sequencer then one note is played 2x as long as the others and the sequence will shift by one.

Here a 5 step gate sequence is driving a 16 step sequencer.(after 80 steps we’re back to 1)

Hello, To patch sequences with differentiated step lengths, I use the BASICally module from Stoermelder. I made a video about it on Youtube:

I don’t know if it’s for you…

It’s from StochasticTelegraph / Mahlen Morris

Exactly. I confused my two best favorite modules: BASICally and 8 Face. Apologies.

i thought it anyway. :grin: thank you. will have a look into your video.

maybe like this? variable step length from 0-100% per step

another option is this sequencer, where you can have variable note length and step length

yes, yesterday i played with it and it is really good. for testing i patched it in. but i’m not sure about it: i fiddle more then an hour to put a correct clock in. i know it has to be 32x, but it seems that the pulswidth matters.

second thing is, that here the colours for gate on/off button are a bad choice. hard to see.

the run input needs a trigger, but my main clock sends 10v for run. i have to convert 10v steady to a trigger.

Karl :thinking:

i will check your idea and come back here. thank you for your ideas. :+1:

unfortunately i 'm not able to produce gate length more than 200%. I can turn the knob CW or CCW to e.g. 160. that should produce a gate with five steps long. but it is not. does anyone know the trick to do that with encore?

Greetings Karl

actually i think: is it possible in general to get gate length over 3 or more steps?? any info? and if yes, does anyone have a testpatch to show? the best result for now is with the phasor sequencer. enable gate per step and 100% cv creates longer gates. perhaps it is the only method.

Only if you remove the gates after the long gate, to give it time…

oh thank you, interesting. will check that. good night.

I tried it with the ADDR-SEQ and 8Face

here a little video demo to show how it could be:

hello, thank you for the patch suggestion. do i understand correctly: you use a 16 step sequence. one step could divide in 8 gate slices. what is the use of the jitter?

will investigate further.

Karl

yep you understand it right, it is a 16 step sequence
but it could be also faster or slower, depends on how ou set the first “phasor divide & Multiply” module, you could have a 8 step sequence with 16 gate slices each, or a 32 stepsequence with 4 gate slices each , or whatever you want,
but you always need a 0V slice to seperate two notes,

the jitter is used for the melody of the dark energy via the bogaudio s&h module
