Looking forward to this too. I’ve been working on a UI for Dexed for months using PatchMaster modules so I’m eager to see how this works.

Might be as well to leave this - pots can be automated in any number of ways.

Now the motorized pots are working like a charm!. Exception for OUTPUT LEVEL & OUTPUT PAN, pots because their positions aren’t saved in voices (DX7 presets). Of course, their position are automatically saved by dataJson when you change them manually.

I’m using Dexed as reference (from my DAW) to compare behaviors and synth parameters (my real DX7 is not friendly for parameters editing, and it’s very old, tired).

Bravo! That works very well :slight_smile:

Very cool. One request: Individual outputs for each operator would be awesome for Opsix-like layering of sounds.

Yep, I’ve this idea yesterday! (about 1 output for each operator). I think the module (now 117 HP) will be expanded to 120 HP, I presume. On the top-right side of module, all buttons/LED/mini-display (for LFO waveform) are too dense (in my opinion). Be sure this feature is already on my ToDo list :wink:

In this case, 6 additional outputs (right side of module) - but without dedicated controls (the output levels are implemented on each OP section (see - zoomed - screen capture)..

Awesome!

No need to enlarge the module. The real DX7 isn’t stereo but mono, so I removed one useless output and “PAN” potentiometer.

EDIT: like this ? with LEDs:

  • Unlit LED if the related “OP output” jack isn’t patched.
  • Green if the related operator is enabled (and its output level is greater than 0).
  • Red otherwise (disabled operator, output level = 0, and during motor pots sequence).

Hello, just a small YT video (but no audio / no commentaries / 1080p) about some working features of OP6-DX (under construction) module…

Probably the final layout… :wink:

hello, i have a question regarding Klokspid MKII.

I want to use ramp outputs as phasors. Therefore, I managed to set a ramp with tilt (ramp up and down). If i set cv3 input to modulate i see that the frequency change if i turn voltage up and down.

But is the input calibrated for V/Oct? I mean 0V = BPM 120, -1 V BPM 60 and so on? i can’t find anything about it in the manual.

Which modulation target is the right one to modulate frequency?

Thanks

karl

Plug it into a tuner module and read out the frequency you get.

yes correct. simple.

will check.

Hello Karl, if I understand correctly, you’ll want to control the BPM via voltage (0V = 120BPM), simply connect the voltage to CLK input first (otherwise this doesn’t work).

When patiching the CLK input jack, the message EXT. CLK is blinking red, it’s normal!

So, turn the continuous encoder until it displays Ext. CLK BPM CV (no need to valid).

Exactly like this :

thank you. yes it works but affects all output, as far as i understand.

how can i change the frequency only for e.g. out1?

does my modulationpoint not work?

You’re welcome, Karl!

Just recorded a small video : https://youtu.be/Q2bS0Q4LRn0

Yep I agree the BPM CV isn’t developed in manual, the reason for this small video (useless in your case).

Unfortunately not, outputs are always BPM (or frequency) based, and not modulable. I’m sorry. Don’t know if can help, you’ll can set the OUT8 as ramp (master phase) - via context-menu option. :wink:

Perhaps consider a different kind of module.

Hmmh, but i modulate the ratio of out1 with cv3 and it modulate the frequency of out1. And only out1. It seems to work. Is it intended?

But my problem with this modulation point is that it seems not proportional to V/Oct voltage.

@Ohmer

Do not modulate the ratio, because they’re predefined (modulation picks a ratio from pre-built table).

But be sure the V/OCT to modulate output frequency (or ratio) isn’t implemented, I’m sorry Karl, and no plan to add this feature (I consider the module as final version, the only thing I’ll must fix some sync. issues between differents outputs, when the BPM/freq is constantly change + Euclidean implementation).

Ah,Ok. Then i will consider to use another module.

Yep I agree. Perhaps Impromptu CLOCKED (by Marc Boulé)? TBH I don’t know. To be honest, I don’t have considered this feature during the KlokSpid MkII development (Nov. 2023), and nobody here have suggested this feature (including mine beta testers).

In fact, I’ve used the “same behavior” than Pamela’s PRO Workout real hardware. :wink: (it’s an excellent clocking module for hardware Eurorack). The modulator (CV) “browses” through the predefined modifiers (aka ratios), I admit it’s a limitation.

At the moment I’m working hard on the future module (a 6-operator FM synthesizer module), sometimes during full nights (sleeping only 2-3 hours, many cups of coffee), so please understand I’m too busy for months (possibly years) to enhance KlokSpid MkII.

Please apologize me again.

Hi Karl, please post here when you find one that can do what you want, cause I still don’t understand what you want to do. :slightly_smiling_face:
