Popular Eurorack module - Requests

Eurorack modules (or other formats) are a good inspiration for future modules for Axoloti.

What Eurorack modules would you love to see in Axoloti?

Tips:
- Lets start simple... and we can get more ambitious as we all gain experience with Axoloti.
- Axoloti modules don't have to be identical, so explain what the key features you want to see.
- Some modules can be created as sub-patches (axs) using existing components, others may need new objects (axo)
- If you create a module, create an example patch showing how to use it, and save it as a help patch (axh).

If you are creating a module, it would be great if you could share it (and/or contribute to the main repo).

to kick things of...
Im going to be create a 'quantiser', similar to uScale, https://www.modulargrid.net/e/intellijel-μscale-v2

I think quantising notes from a sequencer could be fun.

EDIT: added a note quantizer in harmony/note quantizer, see how people like it, I could perhaps add some more uScale features, e.g. intervals.

Oh noodler type patches, sweet!

I'd love to see some synth drum modules conjured up similar to the mutant drums. smile modules.http://www.hexinverter.net/mutant-drums/

Hi.
The uScale has sort of a keyboard layout to program the notes to quantize easily. A real intuitive GUI.
I think it would be an interesting option to add a MIDI In port on an Axoloti quantizer to set the notes to quantize. It could work like a latch function that overrides the chosen set of notes every time a new set of notes / chord is played from a controller keyboard. That way the quantizers range could be "played" live.

Greats

@xcenter, I'll give it a go later, as indeed would make it easier to use, and its pretty trivial to add, as the object already receives midi... just a matter of updating the parameter according to note input when a 'latch' is on.

@lab77, had a quick look at Mutant Drums, this would seem mostly about sound design, to get the right sound... but generally it would be nice to have a synthesised drum kit, in addition to the sampled ones, and its interesting seeing what MD has parameters for, and CV inputs.
This is a 'module' that could be put together as a submodule, so plain patching, so pretty simple for anyone to 'have a go at' smile

Not really eurorack but Reaktor module. I would like to see something like SineBank with really large amount of bands for extreme Additive Synthesis stuff.

#8

ok, added a midi input mode to note quantizer, was pretty simple. C is used as root of inputing scale. (as the tonic might be something else... and could potentially be modulated), basically you latch on, and then press notes you want in scale, and it toggles current notes... allowing scale to be altered.

@kausto yeah Id call that more a building block than a 'module'.
regardless, I wonder if there is the cpu power to do that, words like 'extreme', tend to concern me when dealing with micro-controllers... but not looked at the algo to see how computationally intensive oscillator banks are.

Anything mutable!

#10

something like modcan dual delay will be very nice.

#11

Something basic like this would be a very useful object for me:

The Cyclebox is one of my favourite modules. I would love as well to see an implementation of some of its features!

Rene Kind of sequencer
Rotating Clock Divider
Shuffling Clock Divider

#13

interesting ideas... (links to descriptions are good wink )

cyclebox is interesting, and in general oscillators that can be modulated through different waveforms.

clock dividers, and i agree very useful, simpler that using a sel, and and a fun area, ranging from simple dividers to more dynamic ones.

Rene, oh thats a complex beast... and one Ive thought about before, that an pressure points, linked up to a grid controller (my Push or Soundplane) could be a really interesting project.

Funny, I thought the first make noise module to be mentioned would be Maths, but perhaps we don't need general purpose function modules, as we have as many envs/lfos as we like in axoloti.

#14

As far as i can see there is already a AD generator but cant remember if there is a modulate able one in there .. i was looking at the patcher and tried actually to try make maths hehe but no sound so i wanna wait until...

Could a pressure point alike thing maybe made with touchpads thru the GPIOs?!

#15

this Quad Patternizer Deluxe from falafular is actually also a interesting thing (i have a thing for stuff that eats more than one clock)

small video of it here

And something like CLOUDS from MI

#16

probably a good question for the hardware section, but Id guess so... though is it not easier to use something like a launchpad pro? or any midi grid with poly pressure?
(Im more a software guy than hardware smile )

#17

Im a huge hardware geek smiley hahaha but yes could be done the same way its was simple just a thought if there made a Pressurepoint alike module in axoloti u could further expand it to be controlled a bit like the pressure point smile

Hi, I was just playing with this note quantizer, since it is something I really need in my setup. This is kind of like the Scale Midi Effect on Ableton, right?
I'm still trying to make sense of how changing the buttons position changes the notes, but any help would be appreciated.
BTW thanks for all the work smile

#20

Note Quantizer...
no, its not quite the same as Ableton scale effect... (but similar)
the idea of the quantizer is you can feed it 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc... and it will map these to the relevant scale
i.e. light all butttons, and you'll get C, C#,D,D# etc
if you light a C major scale, you will get C,D,E,F
this means a sequencer, can be given a pattern and it will transpose accordingly.

the reason the offset exists is merely to move the notes into a convenient range, this is all to do with the input range being (essentially) 0-127, so if you send in C3 (60) (5octaves*12) if you map this to a 7 note scale (e.g. Cmaj) C3 would now be 35 (5 octaves *7)

(btw: disp/note is handy to help configure it)

I kind of assumed this was how it works in uScale (i.e. a voltage level, determines a position in the scale), rather than Abletons method which more squashes the notes into a scale... I guess I could have both, or perhaps different objects.

( I think uScale/note Quantizer is better for sequencers that have 'free values' ... whereas ableton is better where you are forced to use a 'note grid' / midi)
