Abusing modules

2002-01-21 by buechlerjoe

Just for grins, what's the most, er, creative way you've used any of 
the A100 modules? A ridiculous cludge? So much the better!

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I've used an A175 as a 3-way 
multiple when the A180s were tied up.

What's yours?

Joe

hi,

the most common abuse is using my A-119 as a mini-multiple. 
Another one: A-140 is retriggered by a LFO´s square wave and becomes a LFO itself.

greetings
Paul

o.k, hear this trick that i use for my latest track:
ELECTRIBE R AUDIO OUT>>INPUT OF A119.AUDIO OUT OF
A119>>TRIPLE RES FILTER>>WAVESHAPER>>RING
MOD.////ENVELOPE OUT OF A119>>CV INPUT OF A147.///GATE
OUT OF A119>>CLOCK INPUT OF A155!!(WITH THIS SET UP, I
CONTROL THE CLOCK OF THE A155 BY THE BASS DRUM OF THE
ELECTRIBE PATTERN,AND THE VC-LFO FREQ.BY THE OVERALL
VOLUME OF THIS PATTERN  ////THE VC-LFO CONTROLS ONE OF
THE 3 FILTERS OF THE A127 MODULE,AND THE A155 CONTROLS
ANOTHER OF THESE FILTERS.ALSO,THE OTHER ROW OF THE
A155 CONTROLS THE FREQ. OF AN A111. THE SINE OUT OF
THIS A111 IS RING MODULATED WITH THE DISTORTED OUT OF
THE WAVESHAPER(THE ELECTRIBE PATTERN).AND THE SINE
FROM THE A111 IS LIN.FREQ. MODULATED BY A PULSE FROM
AN A110...THAT'S ALL!!HOW IT SOUNDS??AWESOME!!!(DARK
AND LO-FI!!!)
I MAY RECORD THE SOUND AND SEND IT TO THE DOEPFER SITE
FOR ALL OF YOU TO HEAR...WE'LL SEE...
synthfreak
come on,share your ideas!!

My standard:
A-160 (not clocked) -> I use a logical high output as constant voltage
source. The voltage is fed to the CV2 of a VCO. Now I am able to tune the
VCO over the complete frequency range.


Btw, I want to add switch and a 100kOhm Resistor to the VCO. The resistor
will be paralleled to R5 (1MOhm); the switch will select between the 1MOhm
and the 100kOhm, which results in a wide tuning range for the "fine"-poti.

hi florian, 
florian say:
"..A-160 (not clocked) -> I use a logical high output
as constant voltage
source. The voltage is fed to the CV2 of a VCO. Now I
am able to tune the
VCO over the complete frequency range...".
PLEASE EXPLAIN!!so,you sent a +5 volts cv signal to
the cv2 in of the a111...and what do you accomplish by
doing that??

yes,but,can't you do this without the+5 volts cv
signal??(what is this signal useful for??)

Can you tune the VCO continously(!) from the lowest frequency to the
highest highest with one button turn? 
I cannot do this. I have to use the Octave switch and this bothers really
if you want to do manual ringmodulator- or hardsync-sweeps.

I've tried using the A147 as a VCO, just to see if it was possible (it 
works fine in the lower registers). I haven't actually used this in a 
patch, though, so I suppose it doesn't count.
