External Audio Routing:
-Main audio outputs on channels 1 and 2
Internal Audio Routing:
-A kick drum is fed into a plate reverb
-The plate reverb is ran into two Duck modules
-The output of the Duck modules are processed with the 70s EQ
-The 70s EQ is sent to the Pressed Duck which mixes all the signals together
-A secondary Kick, Stargazer, and Maraca are also sent to the Pressed Duck
-A Rimshot is lowpass filtered and then processed with a delay line before being sent to the Pressed Duck
Internal Logic Routing:
-The Count is a master clock source for the Drum Sequencer and the delay line for the Rimshot.
-Outputs from the Drum Sequencer trigger all of the drums
That would be cool. You would need something like a Make Noise Pressure Points that has a bunch of offsets to feed into all of the modules. The Buttons would then select the scenes in that scenario. You could always save a bunch of different settings as seperate patch files using this patch as a starting point - I know itās not as āliveā but it is a workaroundā¦I suppose you could have two MetaModules and a DJ mixer or crossfader module, something Iāve considered as a solid live setup
Any multi-row sequencer that has manual selection of the columns would do this for you. A sequencer is basically a programmer with a clock input. Just donāt provide a clock.
EDIT- well after looking at a couple of pages of sequencers in VCV, I didnāt see any with manual column selection, something not uncommon in hardware ones. Sighā¦
The Count Modula 8-Step Sequencer is voltage-addressable ā it would be possible to configure a few of those with an 8vert and some mutes or something.
Iām actually designing a 1x8 version of something like this currently for usage with meta buttons, but maybe thereās a feature set thatās better suited for this preset type of behavior. Are there any specific things you wish it did? Might be something worth adding to the VCV and meta library.
(this is an screenshot of the ugly WIP panel for dev for the forthcoming octopush)
The octopush thing Iām talking about below would give you what you wanted if there was a multi-column sequencer that had a CV input for active step rather than just a clock to advance the next step.
Again, the Count Modula 8-Step (and 16-Step and 64-Step) all do that ā if you need multiple columns you could sync multiple sequencers to the same voltage input.
The OctoPush is a fantastic idea and makes me want a button expander for the first time.
I used to make Eurorack modules under the name Synthwerks, We made a programmer/sequencer, the PGM-4, which is what you are looking for. Anyone can make one of these for VCV, if I had programming chops, I would myself.
Hopefully with the new expansion modules finally out there, some new modules will be designed that truly exploit them. A programmer like the one shown above could easily take advantage of the pushbutton module (and future pot expander modules).
Not to sound like a shill (after all I do work here) but I will say the button expander massively improves usability of MM, even if just used for turning stuff on and off which is kind of annoying to do with the knobs alone.
Oh cool! I know Synthwerks, right on man. Yea this is type of thing is exactly what I was thinking just with 8 knobs per column and clocking abilities + voltage addressing so it can double as a sequencer. I might also toss in the button behavior switch from Octopush so people can do gates, trigs, or toggles with each button. Octopush and Solopush are forthcoming as part of a pack Iām putting together called ButtonUtilities. If anyone has any other stuff they wish buttons could do please feel free to let me know and Iāll put something together.
There are lots of simple utilities that the button module would be perfect for - things like audio/cv mutes, SPST switch emulation and routing, even basic transpose note arrays (too bad there isnāt 12 buttons). All very simple modules that all would be useful.
Oh I totally get that. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Iād love to see an expander with two buttons, four knobs, and four inputs. Space is tight!
Is there any way you could set things up so that pressing and holding one of the MetaButtons would ācaptureā the current state of all of the modules in the rest of the Meta patch, and store those settings, so that when that particular button was momentarily pressed again, it would immediately restore the captured state. Such a feature would add greatly to the performative potential of the Meta systemā¦
This is a great potential feature, ableton once had a max for live device ( custom made for Richie Hastings/plastikman to use in his live shows) that did this which was super cool but also had some issues and was discontinued. Kapture | Ableton
Still available for download if it can provide a roadmap for a metamodule equivalent!
Ot works especially well with any kind of launchpad / apc 40 / monome etc grid controller to save and recall presets with.
I almost forget that native instruments maschine does this also, with the ability to morph parameters between the presets instead of just hard switch , which when you have the ability to adjust the speed of the morph transitions becomes super cool.
