Great patch, well done!

I’m not sure I understand what Mother is supposed to do. I can get it to work as a quantiser but i’m not sure what some of the controls are for. And i did read the manual.

I agree. I can get it to work as a basic quantiser. But, I do not know what a child scale is and I googled it. I think that the knobs on the right are to adjust note probabilities, but Frozen Wasteland’s Probably Note already has the probabilities preset. I feel some of the same things about Dieter’s Fence (which I use a lot) and Mother. There are some good things there, I’m sure, but I don’t understand all the features and I read the manuals, too.

my humble (and confuzed) submission

been a month since i “played” with vcvrack so this patch might not be so “coherent” sound-wise

My entry to the VCP-46 challenge using Mother from Orange Line. It’s a little glitchy patch for when VCV Rack becomes sentient and takes over the world :wink:

Here’s the patch. https://patchstorage.com/singularity-vcp-46/

Hi, Here’s my contribution to this challenge. For once, since Oangeline’s Mother is polyphonic, I tried to make a really polyphonic patch. All the the pitches for all the voices are managed through a single instance of “Mother”. I sequenced a scales progression with 3 ADDR sequencers in parallel, one for each scale parameters (root, scale number and Child). I used Trummor 2 for Kick and hats, Plaits for tuned percussion (Heard alone on the beginning) and basal for all the rest. Polyknob from computerscare to controll all the parameters (Basal and slap) for each voices separately (Very powerful). Dual 8 steps sequencer from Count Modula for the comping voices. The melody’s countour is driven by one of the caudal outputs. The pitch contour for plaits is driven by a single Sine LFO. Some randomness are added in and there by playing with the Fate parameters of “mother”. Amount of gates for Plaits and melody are manualy controlled through a Bernoulli gate. Rhythm and comping voices are sequenced by the LOMAS sequencers whitch are clocked through “Swing”. I hope You’ll enjoy.

Very Nice one. I love the way you managed all this glitches sounds and the dark ambient sty le of backing voices. Littl patch, huge sound, as usual. I’m a fan.

Two devs in this challenge. The oportunity is given here to me to warmly thank them for their contribution. I’m far to be able to code anything by myself, so thank you so much! I wish you all a happy new year. My contribution is just above.

@Aria_Salvatrice This patch Is about some lazer game… Nice for a quick one. Acid is the gun, isn’t it? Thanks for splirge!

@domino This patch is awesome? I really would have been able to do such a generative one myself. I Like also the way you managed the audio path. Very Very interesting work. I’ll have to dig a bit into your module. it seems to be really interresting.

@gbarygbarnes Hi. It’s the first time I’m listening to your work… And… Man! It sounds good! I love it. Very atmospheric. Nice textures provided by clouds. Nice exatonal scale, also. To instance of Mother for some polytonality (Witch you managed with some mastery, I’ve to say!) is a good idea. Bravo

@buzishoham Nice one. A bit confusing, musicaly, maybe. But there’s some nice ideas,

@muwkuu Funny little piece. maybe not enough from the staring module, but that made me lough and dance.

Cheers! Sincerely yours Denis

Oh no, it’s only a suggestion if someone wants to create a fork of my modules, I don’t want to sign their work! Not that there’s anything worth forking yet (this module was just a learning project to get started in VCV dev). I’ll try to make it very clear in the doc.

Nice to see my first module in the wild :smiley:

Oups. Sorry for that. I’ll delete this part in my comment!

I use your module a lot, I usually don’t need so many inputs and outputs

I nearly entered with another unchanged Psychedelic December thing but no, I made some small changes for VCP-46. I haven’t really got the best and the mostest out of Mother. I’d like to have done more with it but I only used it as a polyphonic quantiser. I tried getting it to play favourites with notes but I have no idea if that worked.

Hey, it’s maybe a bit late, but @Stubs made a tutorial some days ago. Here it is for those who didn’t see it on the Facebook page. https://youtu.be/DTJxDsLDSLY Thanks again Mr. Stubler for providing such a great quantizer.

Thanks for the feedback Denis. The For Four module came about from things I thought were useful for controlling the randomness somewhat on generative patches. I’d experimented with similar ideas built from clocks and logic and put a selection in the single module to preserve cpu.

The patch kinda wrote itself, I was just experimenting with the single osc and when the sci fi noises started coming out I ran with it… I was happy with how the multiples of 21 worked out for letting the main track change tempo and still sound as though it was in time due to the drums locked at 84.

Hi, After watching the creator’s tutorial, I made some improvements in my pach: Among others, I sent the pow output for the folding depth of the melody voice. I also send the S&H which modulates the panning of Plaits through a slew limiter to avoid clicks on this voice. I also fined the tuning of probabilities on the scales. Here it is. Little things that make the difference: Mom’s Marmelade.vcv (162.2 KB)

I will post my patch as too late entry as soon as I can concentrate on working on it. Blame the cold. :metal::sunglasses:
