Shepard Tones Patch

Video for this patch available on YouTube here.

Patch 1:

External Audio Routing:

-Main audio outputs on channels 1 and 2

Internal Audio Routing:

-8 sine wave VCOs are routed to their own VCAs

-The VCAs are mixed together with a drum bus which pans every other oscillator to opposite speakers

-A Stereo Width module controls the output of the drum bus

-The Stereo Width module is fed into a reverb.

Internal CV Routing:

-The 8 sawtooth wave outputs from the Shepard Generator are fed into the 1v/Oct inlets of all 8 VCOs

-The 8 triangle wave outputs from the Shepard Generator are fed into the CV inputs of all 8 VCAs

MetaModule Knob Mapping:

A - Base pitch

B - Speed

C - Depth

D - Stereo Width

E - Reverb Dry/wet

F - Reverb Size

Patch 2:

External Audio Routing:

-Main audio outputs on channels 1 and 2

-Main audio input on channel 1

Internal Audio Routing:

-The main audio inlet is ran into the switched inlet of channel 1 on Normals so that the user can run external audio into the patch

-White noise is ran into the normalled input of Normals, so that when no external signal is present white noise passes through the audio chain

-The output of Normals is ran into 8 parallel bandpass filters. All bandpass filters have their own VCAs

-The VCAs are mixed together with a drum bus which pans every other filter to opposite speakers

-A Stereo Width module controls the output of the drum bus

-The Stereo Width module is fed into a reverb.

Internal CV Routing:

-The 8 sawtooth wave outputs from the Shepard Generator are fed into the frequency CV input of all 8 bandpass filters

-The 8 triangle wave outputs from the Shepard Generator are fed into the CV inputs of all 8 VCAs

MetaModule Knob Mapping:

A - Cutoff

B - Resonance

C - Speed

D - Depth

E - Stereo Width

F - Reverb
