Thanks alpha. Phi + expanders is quite cool. It’s a shame it uses so much CPU, especially when paired with ModX.

Thank you for pointing this out, @LarsBjerregaard! CPU consumption is higher indeed, but it does not seem to be excessive on my system.
With the previously posted selection, Phi consumes about 2.6% of CPU here, whereas the expanders take only 0.0 to 0.1%. Hence it seems that their consumption is somehow accounted for in Phi.
This compares to approx. 1.6% with Arp (Hampton Harmonics) as a reference for another arp.
With this particular patch, taking out the connection from the current step output of GaitX to the reps input of ModX lowers CPU to about 1.2%, so this feature appears to be particularly demanding, perhaps because it is kind of an internal loop.
I am attaching the .vcvs. Do you get about the same values on your machine?

I get:
- Row 1 (Arp): 1.5%
- Row 2 (Phi): 3%
- Row 3 (Phi): 1.3%
When removing ModX in Row 2, Phi drops to 1.3%

Thank you for testing! Looks good and consistent.
P2Seq (Poly to Sequence) from Sulamith is basically just an advanced version of the original N1 Sequencer. So you can just use that.

Poly Tools is a collection of independent utilities.
- 3 ch polyphonic merger (poly to poly).
- mono to poly cloner with input and/or offset that either clones, offsets & clones or spreads and clones. (spread/fan: 0.2v x 16 = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8.. etc.)
- poly to L R splitter (to get poly L and R when using mindmeld direct outs for example)
- sum poly to mono with gain knob
- CHmod: reduce channel number on a poly signal
The collection also includes a drone sequencer, a set of 4 N1 Sequencers, Split and Merge, a polyphonic comparator that can be used as a frequency splitter, a 16 channel version of clocked random gates and some other obscure utilities.
its discontinued but the modules all work in v2.
