In Frac Rac format... via MATRIXSYNTH via Youtube via wonkythomas

The "voice" here is two Blacet VCOs VC Waveforms, which are crossfaded, sometimes at audio rate, being sequenced by a combination of 2 Binary Zones, a Mini-Wave w/ scale quantizer & a Doepfer 156 Dual Quantizer - a little OTT. The RCD takes the main clock (MFB Dual LFO squarewave) & spits pulses every which way. The 8008 is being triggered by a bunch of RCD outs run thru the Doepfer 152 sequential switch section. Metalbox Dual AD is also getting triggered by the RCD & is CVing the CGS Wave Multiplier.

Also performing after the workshops are DEREK JOHNSON/ANDREW SENNA/PAPER CLOUD/DUST CONGRESS.

All this presented by the Church of the Friendly Ghost!

Austin's new music electronics store is open for business providing repair, restoration, education, consultation and an array of vintage musical instruments. Come celebrate with us, check out the store, and enjoy live performances by some of Austin's finest synthesizer bands.

4ms will be showing some of our latest eurorack modular gear and pedals.

Switched On Grand Opening details...

Jason Nanna built a totally awesome Bend Matrix with dual MT8816 switching chips (one for a bent video fx processor, one sequencing an atari)... with a WTPA sampler in there too...!

The Shuffling Clock Multiplier from 4ms is the speedy cousin of the Rotating Clock Divider. The SCM has inputs for CV Rotate and CV Shuffle, which are connected in this video to the X and Y outputs of a joystick controller. In normal mode, the SCM outputs 8 clock signals that are exactly 1-8 times faster than the clock input (which is coming from a tap tempo module in this video).

The CV Shuffle drops beats out, dropping more pulses as more CV is applied. So at 0V there are no beats dropped, e.g. on the x8 jack there's a steady 1/8 note pulse. At 1V some notes drop out, e.g. we may get three 1/8 notes followed by two rests and then three more 1/8 notes, and this pattern repeats each measure. At maximum CV input we get only the down beat (first note of the measure)

The CV Rotate works like it does on the RCD (applying a CV routes the clock outputs to different jacks).

The sounds are generated by an EH Space Drum, an Andromeda mkII snare module, and a bass drum module by Jeannot

More to come!!

An alpha version of a 4HP Tap Tempo Eurorack module triggering a drum module. At the end of the video a 4ms Shuffling Clock Multiplier beta version (which has a tap tempo clock, too) is running between the tap tempo module and the drum module. These two tap tempo clocks in series create a roll effect that resolves on the downbeat...

The Tap Tempo module has a tap button that can set the tempo and/or output direct pulses. A 3-position switch selects the mode:
-Down position: tap button directly outputs pulses (no internal clock)
-Middle position: tap button sets tempo of internal clock
-Up position: internal clock is locked in tempo, tap button outputs additional pulses
