Hey there everyone,

I just wanted to share a little jam featuring a Euclidean Tremolo pedal I built on an Electrosmith Daisyseed with Max Msp Gen~.

This tremolo pedal allows for rhythmic chopping based on the mathematics as found with Euclidean sequencing. The "Generating Sound and Organizing Time" book was a huge source of guidance and inspiration when it came to programming the effect.

So for this video I enabled random mode on the pedal and then generated rhythms on the fly with a synth loop running on the OP-1. 

Euclid is fully MIDI compatible, so you're able to keep things tightly in sync with the MIDI clock as opposed to feeling it out with the Rate knob. In this particular instance I was clocking it with the Dirtywave M8 so I could set the pedal to 70bpm.

If anyone has any questions, concerns or ideas please feel free to let me know.

Thanks!

Hey there everyone,

I just wanted to share a little jam I did recently with a ring modulated white noise drone oscillator/distortion pedal I built, which is running a Max Msp gen~ patch via an Electrosmith Daisy Seed.

In its droning state this pedal works by ring modulating a noise source with a droning oscillator. A dry copy of the noise is then added back in with the ring modulated output. The free running oscillator can either be a sine wave or a rising saw wave. You can also use the audio input as a substitute layer for the oscillator, or a second carrier source that mixes with the oscillator to add into the ring modulation section. This signal then gets sent into either a lowpass, highpass or comb filter followed by one of six distortion algorithms. The density of the noise greatly affects how filthy the signal gets as the carrier source gets lost in the snowstorm of noise. I find it works ideally on more sustained tones or percussion for gnarly industrial distortion that sounds like disintegrating speakers. With that being said, here's the pedal mangling a simple loop from an OP-1.

If you have any questions, concerns or ideas please feel free to let me know.

Thanks!
