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!

The files for this patch have been updated so that it automatically loads at the recommended sample rate and block size of 32k/512. Enjoy! :smiley:
