Appendage Touch Ribbon Sequencer and Klee: Controlling Synced VCO

Good job scott stites

[beyondthesevoices]

Hey haven't heard from you for a while, are you up to something else?

[ScottStites]

I'm still around - I spent the summer working on the documentation for the Appendage (boards are now on sale). Right now I'm working on a pretty interesting new project.

[beyondthesevoices]

You should get into things that produce visuals from your appendage, not that you don't have enough ideas!

[beyondthesevoices]

That sounds awesome. Keep up the great work. Sounds like a Tangerine Dream song : )

Wow! It's amazing what you can do with that thing! :D

Is it also controlloing the resonance of the filter? I could hear such effect a few times here, for example around 5:53 . Or is that a syncing effect?

[ScottStites]

Hey Pehr,

Thanks! Actually that is the TFS voltage controlling a VCA that is passing an LFO through to the cutoff of the filter. When there are two points of pressure, the TFS voltage becomes active, and the wider apart they are, the higher the TFS voltage. When the two fingers are closer together, the voltage isn't enough to open the VCA to make any noticable effect, but the wider apart they are, the more intense the filter modulation becomes.

[ScottStites]

This was done in voltage mode, so there is a sharper, knee-like glide up at a certain distance between the two points. In current mode, the effect would be different, because the TFS voltages rises linearly the further the two points are apart.

Cheerios,

Scott

I got to get me one of these some day :D
