  • Here’s the new dual bidirectional analogue switch ‘tain’ from Instruo. It works as a 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 input or output switcher. It has manual of CV/gate control with latching or momentary behaviour and a handy trick up it’s sleeve is the inbuilt reference voltage. Allowing you to use a trimmer to set a normalised voltage from -10 to +10 volts so you can switch to a voltage as a divider, or sub audio generator, switch from modulation to a static voltage, create octave jumps and more. As always I make these videos educational and packed full of synthesis tips and patch ideas so try these patches and ideas out on your system. I’d love to hear of any variations you’ve been creating with switches in the comments.

    Once in a while you stumble upon a patch that expands your modular mind. Your switch as a clock divider was one of these moments. Sometimes I feel like I could use an extra clock divider, but I'd probably only one use output, while I have a sequential switch (and plan to get one that's a dual 1 to 2 / 2 to 1, as the one I have it only 1 to 4 / 4 to 1). Thanks a lot for all your videos!

      thanks I appreciate that and it's really nice to be able to offer some new ways of thinking for your patching. I love it when that happens to and the endless learning that a modular environment offers.

    Ha Ha, "Kan modules have sleeves? : D !!! Sleeves sounds like a name for a Mutable Instruments module though.
    Another module from Instruo that in a brute and impolite way push other modules a bit further down on my wishlist.
    That 4 octave square wave! So that is how they make that sound : o !!!
    From 9:00 cats on the scope
    That delayed switching at the end sounded so good. A bit Blade Runner 2 maybe.

    Hi Ben, can you briefly describe what you were doing with the 3rd and 7th chord at the beginning of the clip from a music theory perspective?
    I know it's a bit of leftfield question but it sounded very pleasant to my ears

    • @DivKid
      @DivKid  3 роки тому +2

      Hello, I go through this patch at 03:09 for anyone curious ... So I have a sequence that is coming into the Instruo Harmonaig. This quantises the voltage to a scale, in this case a C natural minor scale. That defines my set of intervals and key. That module also then generates a root (the quantised input) plus a third, fifth and seventh on top of the root. These are all individual voltage outputs I can send to oscillators. In this case I sent the root and fifth to the oscillators. But sent the third and seventh into the switch so I could toggle between them. Then sending that switched/toggled version to the oscillator as well. This is like holding a chord on a keyboard but letting two notes alternate. For example.
      Cm7 chord, notes C Eb, G, Bb. Hold down C and G (the root and fifth) and then bounce between Eb and Bb.
      On the Harmonaig the intervals follow the music scale so thirds track whether would be a minor or major third and the sevenths do as well. The fifth will also be perfect or diminished as defined by the active notes set in the scale.
      I hope that's helpful.

    Please pretty please do a Harmonaig video, we need it! There is zero tutorial about it and the manual is not very clear. It would so cool to have even fast tuto as I know you do a lot of instru videos.
