Re: Ideas for using the a149 1 and 2

2008-02-26 by mark francombe

Hey thanks guys, both are interesting ideas I dont have either the 166 logic
thing or the 156 sequencer add-on (yet) but both suggestions gave me
inspiration! I still have some questions tho.

What I would really like to know though, is what wasthe intended use for
both the 1491 and 2???
...and what is the stored voltages section for?
...and how does one use the CV for the N??? I cant really seem to get much
response from that input (or knob)...
... and the digital outs on the 149 2, is there any difference between the
outputs? or are they all equally random. If I trigger 3 ADSRs from 3 of the
outs, (or clock speed on sequencer or blacet binary zone or or or) does it
matter which I pick, or will the result be the same? Im experimenting, but
scratching my head alot!

;-)

N (top) and D( bottom) just varies the more or less high pitch notes you can get for 
example... just look at the little drawing... for example, for the Quantized random n+1... if 
N=0 you are on the left side of the little drawing, N=5, middle of the little drawing 
(maximum high pitch notes) or high CV), N=10 on the right side...

is that clear?

at least that's how I understand it? 

maybe someone else will correct if I talk nonsense...

ALL EQUALL I think... high or low I think...

The original idea is something Don Buchla and Morton Subotnick came up 
with.  You would have to look at Don Buchla's instrument design 
philosophy and Morton Subotnick's compositional style to really wrap 
your head around it.

Stored voltages are stepped random voltages over a range.  The greater 
N, the greater the range.
