anyway, it's super pimp but i know i haven't explored much in the one session i've had with it so i figure we should have an official BZ tips thread.
calling all BZ owners.. ahem.. plord.. cough.. ahem
Moderators: Kent, luketeaford, Joe.
this is my favorite use of the BZ thus far. it didn't quite work how you described but i got some good shit going. what i'd really love now is to have another BZ so i could mix the voltages together and get even more trippy patterns. to sorta satisfy this i mixed the BZ with the Noisering and it came out kinda cool. i also mixed the BZ & NR into the MW for quantized pitch and had some fun with that.plord wrote:Ok, pause a second. We've been driving pitch, but it's just a voltage. So, take the voltage out of the BZ and move it from the Oscilaltor to the GATE input on your Hex Zone, and drive the osc with the Hex Zone. I think the Hex will run when it receives a gate signal above some low threshold. So turn up the /4 pot and the Hex Zone should drive the osc for two note, then rest for two notes, then run, etc. BUT: I may be confusing the range switch effect on the BZ, and it is possible that the Hex will run continuously; If it does, then use the next pot *down* on the BZ to add in a little negative voltage and you should be able to get a pattern going.
yeah but that's what i'm saying though. all i'm getting with that patch is otherwiseparasitk wrote:BZ into MW with the Scale Quantizer will get you all kinds of melodies, happy or otherwise (I usually aim for "otherwise")
Here's one:cavage wrote:very usefull thread !!!
are they other "tutorial" threads alike on other modules ???
cant seem to find them as clearly mentionned
the best thing you can do is what i did. ask for helpcavage wrote:very usefull thread !!!

cant seem to find them as clearly mentionned
could be a wonderfull add to the forum to propose threads like that per modules !
love it !
i am learning from sctrach and this is exactly what i was looking for at forums on modulars in the begining !
thx !
dude that sounds sweet. it's funny but i knew as soon as i started jammin with the BZ that i'd have to get the WC next. probably next month.Cat-A-Tonic wrote:The Binary Zone is great when you want to mush a pattern around
and mold it into something you like. (most of the time)
In that regard it is of a similar philosophy to the Klee,
but with entirely different implementation.
The Hex Zone, on the other hand, is much better when you want to carefully compose a song structure that can be saved and recalled by memory.
One of my 'go to' patches is to send one of the Binary Zone voltage
outputs (inverted or regular) to the Window Comparator input.
This extracts gate, inverted gate, and trigger from the sequence.
Send the Binary Zone clock out to the Hex Zone clock in.
I much prefer using the Binary Zone as the main clock source
because it has the dedicated knob for fine tuning right in your face
instead of having to dig into the Hex Zone's clock with the rotary encoder.
Then you can mush your way into awesome drum patterns on the Binary Zone
that compliment your Hex Zone melodies and sequential switch action.
