New bundle released: Performer Bundle

Post by honki-bobo »

Dear fellow modular enthusiasts,

I've just released the new Performer Bundle containing 4 brand new modules:

SubSequence

Modular Performer on Steroids

SubSequence is a voltage generator designed to create rhythmic patterns. It can be operated in one-shot or in oscillator mode. Multiple instances can be chained to create longer and more complex patterns.

TRG - Controls the start of the subsequence, either manually using the button or by trigger CV. Once a trigger signal is received the subsequence runs from start to end (one-shot). In oscillator mode the trigger input restarts the subsequence.
DUR - Controls the duration of the subsequence using pitch CV (see Beats2Pitch Bundle). Use the knob to multiply the received duration by up to 8.
NEXT- Outputs a trigger signal when the subsequence is finished. Can be used for chaining multiple instances to create longer and more complex rhythmic patterns. OSC sets the module to oscillator mode, where the "next" trigger is internally routed to the TRG input jack. LED flashes as a visual indicator.

FROM - Set the initial voltage of the subsequence. Ranges from -5..5V.
TO - Set the end voltage of the subsequence. Ranges from -5..5V.
FROM and TO values can be switched using the button below the output jacks.
BEND - Determines the curvature of the subsequence. Ranges from -5..5. Positive values bend the curve towards the TO value, negative values bend it towards the FROM value. Can be set to BIdirectional, bending the curve from the center in opposite directions.

All 3 values can be modulated using the input jack and amount knob above the value knob. The final value is output through the jack below the value knob. Multiple instances of SubSequence can be chained and controlled with a single module when the aforementioned outputs are connected with their corresponding inputs of the next module, which value knobs are all set to 0V.

DIV - Divide the length of the subsequence in up to 8 segments of equal length.
TRG - Controls the trigger output of each segment. Buttons have 2 states:
  • Green: Trigger is set
  • Gray: Trigger is unset
GATE - Controls the gate output of each segment. The gate length can be set with the knob in % relative to the segment's length. Buttons have 3 states:
  • Green: Gate is open
  • Yellow: Previous gate will be extended in length by 100%
  • Gray: Gate is closed.
CV - Controls the output CV of the segment. Buttons have 6 states:
  • Green: Output voltage from FROM to TO volts with a curvature of BEND
  • Yellow: Extend the previous segment
  • Red: Output voltage from TO to FROM volts with a curvature of BEND
  • Blue: Output FROM voltage
  • Plum: Output TO voltage
  • Gray: Output 0V
PHS - Outputs the current position (or phase) of the subsequence. Output voltage can be set in ranges of 0..1V or -5..5V. Small display for visual reference.


Trigger Router

Programmable Trigger Switch

Route up to 99 triggers to an output before moving to the next one. 9 outputs are available for routing. LEDs indicate where the next trigger will be output.

TRIG - Trigger signal that gets routed to the outputs. A trigger can be received through the input jack or fired manually with the T button.

RESET - Resets all internal counters and starts the routing sequence from the beginning. A reset signal can be received through the input jack or fired manually with the R button.

DISP/EDIT - Select whether to display and edit the TOTAL number of triggers or the number of triggers that is LEFT in the current sequence.

Outputs 1..8 - Use the UP and DOWN buttons to program how many triggers you want to go to the respective output before moving on to the next one. Ranges from 0 to 99.

D.C. - (da capo) Set the number of repeats of the programmed sequence. Ranges from 0 to 99. It can be set to loop indefinitely by setting it to -1 ("LP" for "loop" will be displayed). When all repeats are done all further received triggers will be routed to the NXT output. This allows for chaining multiple instances of Trigger Router.


KB-I-RT

Switch Inputs With Your Keyboard

The Keyboard Input Router, or KB-I-RT for short, is a 14-to-1 switch that is controlled by pitch CV.

PITCH - Control voltage input to select an input jack. It is normaled to the pitch CV source in the main panel.
OCT - Select the octave you want to control the signal flow with. Ranges from -2 to 8.

INPUTS - Jacks are laid out like an octave on a keyboard for convenience. LEDs next to the jacks indicate the currently selected jack. Additional input jacks for signals below or above the selected octave.

OUTPUT - Outputs the selected input signal.


KB-O-RT

Switch Outputs With Your Keyboard

The Keyboard Output Router, or KB-O-RT for short, is a 1-to-14 switch that is controlled by pitch CV.

PITCH - Control voltage input to select an output jack. It is normaled to the pitch CV source in the main panel.
OCT - Select the octave you want to control the signal flow with. Ranges from -2 to 8.

INPUT - Input signal you want to route.

OUTPUTS - Jacks are laid out like an octave on a keyboard for convenience. LEDs next to the jacks indicate the currently selected jack. Additional output jacks for signals below or above the selected octave.

I've also released a video with a little demo performance using SubSequence and Trigger Router.

Here's a patch where I wired up 12 SubSequences to KB-I-RT and KB-O-RT
