Groovebox patch

Groovebox Patch Video

This patch is a simple groovebox consisting of a bassline, a pad, drum sounds, a gate sequencer, and a CV sequencer.

External Audio Path:

  • Main audio outputs are on channels 1 and 2.

Internal Audio Path:

  • The drum sounds come from our Kick, Maraca, and Clave modules.
  • A mono synth bass voice is created using a sawtooth VCO, a resonant lowpass filter, and a VCA.
  • The pad sound is built using a Supersaw Oscillator, a bandpass filter, and a phaser.

Internal CV Path:

  • A Multi LFO is used as the master clock source.
  • A QCD divides these pulses to generate clock and reset signals for the two sequencers.
  • The three outputs of the CV sequencer are randomly selected using a 4:1 sequential switch.
  • The random voltages are triggered by a /8 clock derived from the 8-step sequencer.
  • The stepped voltages are offset, attenuated, and quantized before being sent to the bass voice. This gives the user control over note offset and sequence range for the bassline.
  • Two decay envelopes shape the bassline—one for volume and one for filter cutoff.

MetaModule Knob Mappings:

A - Bass filter cutoff
B - Bass filter resonance
C - Bass filter envelope depth
D - Bass amplitude decay time
E - Bass filter envelope decay time
F - Pad filter cutoff
U - Kick volume
V - Clave volume
W - Maraca volume
X - Bass volume
Y - Pad volume
Z - Master volume

Awesome! That is actually what I have been trying to with my Metamodule. A Steevio in a box!

This freezes MM when I turn knob F. I reproduced it 3 times. Requires a restart to make sound again.

I briefly see “Unknown relocation error” as the plugins are loaded.

Great patch though!
