I could place this comment at any of your videos, but I do it randomly (pun intended) here: I am so thankful for these tutorials! They are very clear, didactic, helpful and witty. Great, great work!
Thanks for sharing this. It's been a pleasure to make this series and I am sure the system will drop by in many future videos. They won't be labelled as a tutorial episode, but the series will continue. It's just that the thumbnails will be different. In fact, there's a new 'episode' coming up, right after I finished the last one.
This is great Cinematic Laboratory you and Walker Farrell of Make Noise are keeping me really busy with your inspirational patches and ideas. The Wogglebug has surprisingly proved to be less of an enigma than I thought it would be. Which is a good thing in my particular workflow. Over time I have felt comfortable dialling in the degree of how uncertain it should be. The layout is an absolute joy you can play it like an instrument developing muscle memory so that you rarely need to look and think but rather reach and tweak with a great amount of intuition and performativity. The crazy thing is I have only recently got Maths and in combination with the Wogglebug I am now finding what seems like limitless possibilities.
Wow, thanks for the compliment and I am really happy to keep you busy. The fun thing about making these video's is that I learn a lot from what's in the manuals and on the web. I think I'll revisit the wogglebug later in the series, when i want to discuss rhythm. But first, I have to figure out how this weird (or wiard) relationship between CLK in, out and burst mode is. I don't get it (yet). Again, thanks for checking out my series!
Am really loving these tutorials (complete with synth history lessons !). I've just managed to get my hands on a Shared System B&G Plus and these short videos are really helping me to get my head around the thing before I plunge into manuals, etc and get patching. I find the content educational, entertaining and inspiring all at the same time. Great job and thanks ! I will be watching all of these !
Wow, this is brilliant. I’m strongly thinking of investing into Shared System and you are making me crave it even more! I love self-evolving soundscapes and the Wogglebug seems to be the heart of it all
indeed, the wogglebug is not the prettiest module in the system, but it's always involved when something cool turns up. If you're not 'married' to makenoise, the SSF Ultra Random is also excellent.
Awesome video, super inspiring. One thing I would have liked touched upon in this video is the “influence” input... I’ve had my wogglebug for a couple months and still haven’t figured out what it does 😅
Thanks for the compliment & feedback. I will try to cover some more of the Wogglebug in the next chapter which will be about rhythm and patterns. I have no idea what 'influence' does either, I think it will woggle the woggle some more but I have to see it on a scope to explain what happens (and I don't have one)....
A source of uncertainty with a mind of its own? Or maybe... just maybe, it's a Mind of uncertainty with a source of its own. What does that mean? I have no idea, but it feels like a possibility. Pretty sure mine is alive and conscious.
Can this module be used for more traditional electronic music or just for experimental? Im only asking as I really like it's sound but it sounds so unstable
The WoggleBug adds unpredictable elements to a sound so 'unstable' is definitely a word that suits the Bug very well. But even traditional and popular electronic music will benefit from a bit of unpredictability especially with timbres and filters. A module like Maths (attennuverter) can help to add subtlety to the Bug . I also use it to transpose a melody in a scale, which is an example of making a popular piece even more entertaining.

I don’t think I’ve heard one of your videos and not been blown away. I never tire of you creations. A big thank you.

Did you ever figure out the relationship between clock in and burst? Or is there any?

Dammit .. so much for working on any music before work.. shared system time
Ha, but that's quality time!
Very cool!

Pitch tracking
Excellent
Do a harsh Noise video ONLY using the shared system. Pretty please 🙏

I agree it's alive, but it's all instinct :)
