With the help of a long-time IRC acquaintance, I finally have #Perl code sending a consistent #MIDI clock AND a sequence of my choosing (Eucidean beats) to my #DrumMachine. Whew.

This will evolve into my next music programming article...

https://github.com/ology/Music/blob/master/clocked-euclidean-drums.pl

Mom put a 16th note on my eurorack cover.

Cloud Terrarium X-Y modulated by øchd and pitched by the SQ-1, into QPAS into Magneto. QU-Bit Chord also pitched by the SQ-1. Metropolix pitch into O_C into Plaits into an FX-Aid. And everything clocked by Pam's, of course. :)

Happiness is... Laying down a track without the OCD need to quantize anything. :D

I dialed-in a pretty cool sound patch on my eurorack, recorded it, made a [lame] video, put it up on youtube, then dialed-in a way way better sound - an evolutionary improvement. But alas.

...progressive iteration... 😅

Here is a bit of #Python ( https://github.com/ology/Music/blob/master/multi-timbral-drum-fills.py ) telling my modular drums to play quasi-Euclidean beats with 4 gates of my #MIDI interface. The code randomly selects from a small list of note values and a velocity lambda. This part drives Plaits in its 5th "yellow model" and the Qu-bit Chord in minor mode.

Tonight: Smooth acoustic guitar, finger-style bass, and ethereal synth pads.

I can't stop buying modular stuff. Please send help, or modules.

#eurorack

Awaiting my used Korg Volca Drum and new 4-mono + 2-stereo channel eurorack VCA - out for delivery. 🤞🏻

An oscilloscope is one of the more nerdy things you could get for your birthday. 😂

One thing I've learned is that you really don't tell the https://modulargrid.net/e/4ms-company-spectral-multiband-resonant-filter 4ms SMR what to do. It tells *you* what *it's* doing.

My friend Mike, the anti-internet, "multi-instrumentalist virtuoso" sent me this patch for our Yamaha THR30II amps, to simulate the Randy Rhodes sound. It totally rocks! Subtle after-effects that give your guitar all kinds of rich harmonic overtones. (And no surprise - he can play all of RR note-for-note. 🙄)

Happy birthday Béla Bartók

Two eurorack tracks: 1. A Qu-Bit Chord driven by Metropolix, into Clouds then passed through 2 maxed-out reverbs + 2. Plaits also driven by Metrpolix, modulated by Triple Sloths and distorted by a Dirt Filter that is gated by a cool Zadar envelope.

Scored a https://modulargrid.net/e/recovery-effects-and-devices-bad-comrade-v3 Bad Comrade V3 module. I guess I need to slice, dice, glitch, and degrade.

Guess you can send an LFO through a VCA and out to an oscillator FM.

Here is an unattended Marbles into Plaits changing between 3 models and modulated by Triple Sloths and into a bit of delay. Also, being a beats-oriented person, my modular drums, of course. FM coming from Batumi II into Veils.

Trippy

Remixed a tune of mine:

Much better.

Introspective eurorack layers, drum machines, and Fender bass

I thought it was a novelty at first, but this Fender amp head key-chain holder Christmas present has come-in way more handy than I thought it would. Haha :)

Three stereo modular patches driven by Metropolix in Brownian order. Rings into Clouds. Qu-Bit Chord root into Farbshaper and then QPAS. Qu-Bit Chord mix into a Z5000 delay.

I put my Spark drum machine up for sale on reverb. It is super cool, but not actually useful to me. Can't be controlled externally - which (is very dumb and) means everything to me, being a music programmer. Also, it requires an app or plugin to run. Alas.

Physical modeling mayhem: Rings into Clouds into the Morphagene + SMR pinged in stereo by Marbles into QPAS

Polyrhythmic!
