A question from constantG about creating something similar to the DFAM Think in the General area piqued my interest and so, the result is the attached patch. I’ve also uploaded this to the Patch Storage Meta Module page.
This basically allows you to step through the DFAM sequencer in custom step order, similar to the DFAM thing. Has 2 built-in clocks and 2 external clock inputs, which can be used in any combo but will probably get out of control with too many or too fast.
An example of how it works is the loaded settings, which will cause the DFAM to run in reverse when the number of pulses is set to seven. What’s happening is the burst of pulses run though the steps so fast they can’t sound out until the last pulse. Other pulse number settings will skip different numbers of steps.
This does glitch occasionally by repeating a step, not sure why, but I suspect there’s extra pulses being generated by the Burst generator from the internal clock. Unfortunately, none of the available generators worked as well or in the same manner.
Mapped controls:
A – Gnome 1 BPM
B – Gnome 2 BPM
C – Burst Generator Pulses CV attenuator
D – Burst Generator number of Pulses
E – Burst Generator Probability CV attenuator
F – Burst Generator Probability
u – Gnome 1 Run button
v – Gnome 2 Run button
Inputs:
Gate In 1 – External Clock 1
Gate In 2 – External Clock 2
1 – Burst Generator Pulses CV
2 – Burst Generator Probability CV
Outputs:
1 – DFAM Sequence, goes to DFAM ADV/CLOCK
