Modular - eurorack - 303 patch

 This is an advanced patch for a modular acid baseline.

303 style. It's from the VCF303 manual.

 

 There are many modules you can use, however these I have.

Makenoise Rene, Brains+Pressure points  ADSR, VCA with two cv inputs, DinSync VCF 303

ADSR: 2HP ADSR

VCA: Doepfer A131

Clock source & VCO: NLC Dual LFO/VCO

The sequencer you use is really important.

Apart from the usual CV and gate outputs for each step it should have outputs for

accents, tied notes, and slide.

René is extremely good at making acid thanks to the glide mode.

The Pico Seq also does pitch slide between notes, constant or random.

I think glides, slides and portamento are all the same  ??

 

A tie however, is not the same as the slide.

The difference is that a slide is a smooth change from one note to a different note, whereas a tie will hold the same note for two or more steps.

Other sequencers that should be Ok are the Metropolis, DU-Seq, Stepper Acid, Verbos Voltage multistage.

Nerdseq and flxs1 both have slew and ratcheting.

 The Winter Modular Eloquencer does have tied notes but can't as far as I can see do slides / portamento.

 

 

 

 

To add slew, possible modules that may work include the makenoise Function/ maths, the doepfer 171 VC slew, the serge VCS, the NLC Helvetica Scenario.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ----------

The patch

1.Connect Rene QCV to your Oscillator's cv in 

2. Set Rene to snake mode (X FUN page) 

3. Set Rene glide on (X FUN PAGE) 

4. Connect Pressure Points top row output to Rene XMOD 

5. Connect Pressure Points second row output to VCF303 AC TRIG

6. Optionally connect Pressure Points bottom row output to VCF303 CV 

    (if you want sequenced cutoff)

7. Connect your VCO's square or saw output to VCF303 input 

8. Connect VCF303 output to vca signal in 

9. Multi your clock pulse. It connects to VCF303 ENV TRIG in, Rene XCLK, 

    Brains clock in and the ADSR gate in 

10. Connect the ADSR output to vca cv in 1

11. Connect VCF303 ACcent out to vca cv in 2 (

 

Use the top row of Pressure Points to control sequencer glides 

Use the middle row of Pressure Points to control accents 

Use the bottom row of Pressure Points to control frequency cutoff (if connected)
