Impromptu Modular is happy to present a new module called ProbKey.
It’s a mix and mash of some features of a few well known modules, but put together in my own Impromptu style. For reference, here’s what it’s loosely based on (but with nowhere near some of the functionality offered in those modules):
I’ve been tinkering with this on and off since the updater grabbed it. It seems impossible to make it produce an unpleasant sequence (and I did try, just because of course I would). Great module.
I think it’s been a while since there was a new module in the “Impromptu” line, yes? Welcome back. (Of course most of us know that @marc_boule is half of Mind Meld, so he’s been making plenty of new things under that name).
Oh yes, Oh YES!! This is like cool breeze in a hot days. Refeshing brains - I play on this all day - making some new patch. It is works fine with some extrnal VST plugins like LABS etc.
Really great module, grand merci, Marc! In my first quick tests it generates nice motives with e.g. Admiral Tables as gater, but, sure, many other ideas and combinations could be imagined as well
I hooked up my 0-Coast yesterday and had a LOT of fun. The octave-spread is awesome for a voice that can reproduce base and lead at the same time. I only wish you could lock more than 16 steps, at least 32 would be greatly appreciated (maybe even 64?). I like to run “random sequencers” at higher clock multipliers, so locking is somewhat short with 16 steps.
This is another wonderful module, Marc! Thank you! I can’t wait to dive deeper into this.
I’m curious, is the Randomize working in the right click menu for this module? I saw this in your manual but I wasn’t sure about song mode in this module.
In all sequencers, clicking Randomize in the right-click menu of the module will only serve to randomize the content (CVs, gates, slides, etc., as applicable) of the current sequence. For sequencers with a song mode, no song content is randomized when in SONG mode.
@GrayCatMusic For the randomize, I kind of forgot to implement it, so at this point there are two things that could be randomized:
Randomize the keyboard contents (i.e. probabilities for all notes, anchors and octave ranges)
Randomize all the notes in the shift register (i.e. the lock buffer) according to the current settings
For simplicity, I want to avoid having an option for both (and I’ll be using Rack’s default command for randomization), so in light of the two possibilities above, I think I perfer the 2nd choice since it would probably be more useful, and it would also be consistent with the exerpt of my manual that you showed.
Cheers
