Thanks to all the wizards who programed the modules and made something like this even possible!
I’m practicing with an orchestra tonight (for a show next week)
For the show the audience walks around and can experience the music within the orchestra itself, so finding a visual way for people to understand what’s going on with the modular I thought of Kira’s patch with JW’s bouncing balls. I also suspect I’ll need to quantize a bit to vibe with the other parts of the orchestra which has just about any instrument you can think of.
…SO I tried to alter the patch and find a way to lock the scales that so beautifully climbed and descended with the VCA trick they implemented. alas I couldn’t figure out a way to do that. but i DID just use a pretty standard method of locking a quantizer to a solid tone and have each ball trigger it’s VCA. so a bit basic. but i think it’ll work! I just have my midi keyboard on the rotate function of the vcv polyphonic splitter to 4 quantizers so as I mash chords the balls will play in tune… I wish I could figure out a way to control each ball’s note one at a time but that may require two screens or 4 midi keyboards? so for now they’ll just rotate through each 4th keystroke… if anyone has thought’s I’m always appreciative to learn more
I also added some patch in and out points to make the other parts of the modular work with the balls. the knobs are also focused on performance. as I see how the patch practices tonight I’ll probably make some more adjustments.
but for anyone near Detroit, please come see, would be lovely to say hi! there’s two shows one in Detroit, and the other in Ann Arbor.
