Venom 2.5 beta: Mix expanders, Linear Drumming, and Quantizer - Testers and feedback wanted

My new Non-Octave Repeating Scale Intervallic Quantizer is now available for testing. All planned functionality is present, except the display panel has not yet been implemented. The panel will display the effective values after summing the inputs with the control knobs. It should also indicate the quantized value for each note.

Rather than specify specific notes in the scale, you specify the interval between each note in the scale. Importantly, the last interval defines the jump from the last note in the scale to the root of the next scale in the series. This allows you to define scales that repeat at any interval - not just octaves.

Intervals are defined as integral multiples of some equal division of a pseudo-octave. Define the pseudo-octave as 1 octave with 12 divisions, and you have standard 12 tone equal temperament. But you can use any pseudo-octave between 0 and 2 octaves, with divisions between 1 and 100. For example, define a pseudo octave of 1900 cents (an octave plus a perfect fifth), with 13 equal divisions, and you have a Bohlen-Pierce equal tempered scale.

In this patch and video I test the quantizer with random notes using four different scales, the last three of which are non-octave repeating

  • 0:00 12ET intervals 3,2,2,3,2 (Minor Pentatonic)
  • 2:00 12ET intervals 3,4,5,4,3
  • 4:00 12ET intervals 2,3,4,3,2
  • 6:00 Bohlen-Pierce intervals 3,2,2,2,2,2
