A impromptu jam last might.
My mate Ed and I decided to play with the old Moog.
This hasn't been used in a while so it was good to see most things worked.
The old VCOs drifted a lot so it was a battle to keep things in tune.
This is the old moog:
Above are some Synthesizer.com sequencers / modules
and other misc 5U modules
Patch notes:
The two 960 sequencers are synced.
The right is the master.
They control various filters, VCAs etc of Moog
I'm using one sequential switch to add variation to the sequences
Its triggered from the 1st 960 and the Klee
-------------------------
Two Q960 sequencers can be synchronized or used independently to create complex sequences. They can be patched together to create longer sequences, or one can be used to modulate parameters of the other.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
1. Synchronization:
To run two Q960 sequencers at the same speed, the clock output of the first sequencer can be patched into the shift input of the second.
Ie; Use the osc of the 1st sequencer to shift the osc of the second sequencer.
To create a slower tempo on the second sequencer, you can use a clock divider (like the Q962) to reduce the clock speed before patching it into the second sequencer.
2. Creating Longer Sequences:
By patching the step output trigger from the first sequencer into the shift input of the second, you can create sequences that are multiples of the original length.
For example, chaining two 8-step sequencers in this way can create a 16-step sequence, or even a 24-step sequence by using the three rows of the Q960
3. Independent Use and Modulation:
One Q960 can be used to transpose the sequence of the other, by patching the first sequencer's step output to the second sequencer's shift input and using its CV output.
You can also use one sequencer's CV output as a modulation source for another, controlling parameters like filter cutoff or VCA.
One sequencer can control the gate of another to create rests or shorter phrases within a longer sequence.
4. Additional Tips:
The Q960 has a reset input, and the reset can be triggered at any point in the sequence, allowing for complex rhythmic patterns.
The Q962 sequential switch can be used for various purposes, including dividing the clock, muting sounds, and controlling the sequence direction.
