Here is a patch that I've had fun exploring. I'm sure all the experts in the group have tried this but many of you may have not. Modules needed: 4 oscillators 1 sample/hold Put a ramp wave from osc 1 into the input of the s/h. Connect osc 2 to the gate of the s/h. Use the s/h output to control the pitch of osc 3. Set osc 1 and 2 in the low freq range and tune them to the same frequency. When the frequencies match the pitch of osc 3 will remain constant or change by tiny increments. This is because the ramp wave will be sampled at the same point in each cycle. When osc 1 is slightly faster then osc 2 you will hear an ascending series of pitches. Decending when osc 1 is slower. Increasing the frequency difference between osc 1 and osc 2 will increase the pitch intervals produced by osc 3. Set osc 4 to a frequency lower that of osc 1 and 2 and modulate the frequency of osc 1 by a tiny amount. The notes should now be alternating between ascending and descending patterns. Experiment with the osc 4 frequency and the modulation amount of osc 1. Small changes can yeld radically different results. When Roger builds his quantizer (with various selectable scales I hope), put it between the s/h and osc 3 and this will sound even better. David W. Skinner
