Re: [Doepfer_a100] Let me hear your bright new ideas for future Doepfer A100 modules!

2008-10-28 by Bakis Sirros

the link for the module pic does not work.
 
you mean that this module will be able to divide in odd number too? 
or only in even numbers from 1 to 32 and from 1 to 1024?

I have a great idea for a creative and complex sequencer in which the
principle is you dial in a few random numbers and out comes a complex
rhythm that is musically pleasing. No need for a huge 16 or 32 step
sequencer, no need to spend so much time deciding every step of the
pattern. Here's a conceptual audio demo:
http://www.elanhick ler.com/misc/ argitoth_ clock_idea. mp3 You will hear
the beat created by the clocks and then you will hear the beat in a
musical context

here's what the module could look like:
http://www.elanhick ler.com/misc/ clock_module2. png

How it works: A clock source goes to Clock In, there's five separate
clock dividers, four that go from integers of 1 to 32 and one clock
that can divide anywhere from 1 to 1024. This clock is set by an LCD
screen. This clock resets the four other clocks so that the clocks
repeat however many measures of your choosing. The mp3 just show a
taste of the kinds of rhythms you can create. Not only that, this
module one clock out for each of the four clocks. Combine this with a
polarizing mixer and a semi-tone quantizer, you can create all sorts
of melodies. You can also create rhythms that are in 4/4 3/4 7/8 or
any other time signature. This module will beat the Plan B clock IMO.

Pulse delay is to create some addition offbeat-ness and pulse width is
very helpful to have to further shape the rhythm and especially when
using the clock for melodies.
