Hemisphere for Ornament and Crime

I'd focus 100% on non DSP-things for this module tbh... those algos (turing machine type of stuff etc) is why people got it in the first place.

Enigma sounds incredible, can't wait

Maybe I did not formulate my question correctly. What I am asking for is only an envelope, maybe with only one paremeter (decay), that emulates the curve of acoustic instruments.

Oh, I get what you're saying now.

I don't have the mathematical background to model the decay of vactrols or plucked instruments.

A place to start digging could be the Plaits or Streams source. Neither will be immediately useable since the former uses float, but the latter might just need rebuilding the LUTs and extracting of the relevant parts (although it might be easier to reimplement).

Very excited about Enigma, I keep reading the manual over and over. Ha!

Something that would be really cool as an applet would be a random acid pattern generator.
That generates simple randomized 16 step (or so) acid lines with slides and all at the push of a button. With CV and gate out.

Something like this:

A version of the density knob as in above mentioned sting would be extra icing on the cake.

I have no idea how complex the algorithm would have to be to generate musical results thou.

Would be a unique functionality in eurorack i think?

I was just wishing for that exact thing! I have one for M4L, and would love to be able to do the same thing without needing the laptop, MIDI-CV converter, etc...

Just wanted to share a cool Hemisphere experiment I tried today. I've been wanting to test out TheSlowGrowth's VCO tuning app (https://github.com/TheSlowGrowth/VCOTuner) for a while now but I don't own a midi->cv module. Up until now I've been thinking about grabbing a Yarns or something similar but then I had a thought, hmmn I could probably do this with Hemisphere! I tried it out today and it works great! I was able to tune a couple of my oscillators so now they all track 1v per oct very accurately. Give it a shot!

It's interesting. The algorithm is the secret sauce, of course. It doesn't sound like purely random notes.

Cool! Who needs Yarns?

Hi wiggles,

Ive just flashed hemisphere and the screen came out upside down.. wasn't so in OG firmware.

Any help?

Best

Hey, Luke, I distribute the firmware in flipped and unflipped versions. Make sure you get a file that doesn't say FLIP180.

Yes, please! That would compliment the evolving randomness of the turing machines nicely!

FYI - I think you can kinda do this with erica's Pico SEQ. You can choose how many octaves to cover and what scale to work in, then press randomise. Don't think you can control density or number of slides though?

There's no option to control the density/number of slides for random pattern generation, it's just assigned for each step when you push the RND button. However it is possible to set all notes to slide or to set it to a random chance of sliding on each new step, as a separate function to the random sequence generator.

There are already a zillion ways to generate random melodies. It sounds like what the world needs is a slew sequencer. On each clock pulse, a different slew rate could be applied, with the option to randomize the sequence.

Or a single rate, but with probability-based sliding. A Turing Machine, but for slew!

rayultine · Post by **rayultine** » Tue Sep 25, 2018 5:53 pm

I cooked something like this up with my disting, o_C Sequins, the Studio Electronics 3003 VCF, and a pulse osc. I have no idea how because I never write down patch notes. D:

I use a slew limiter, a VC switch and a trigger/gate sequencer to do this by switching between the original and the slewed cv - but you just gave me the idea to use branches between the gate and the switch to add probability. Could be fun!

Good evening. Hemisphere Suite version 1.5 is now available as a hex file at https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/releases . The change log is here:

* Significantly changed the operation of Screen Saver mode. The calibration option now sets the number of minutes, not seconds, until the screen saver activates. The screen saver is now "screen blanking," and always simply darkens the screen. You can blank the screen at any time by long-pressing the Up button.

* Added full app Enigma, a shift register (a.k.a. "Turing Machine") workstation that allows you to curate a library of up to 40 Turing Machine-like registers and build four track songs by chaining them together. The philosophy involves the use of shift registers as repeatable compositional elements rather than ephemeral improvisational elements. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-Hemisphere ... iki/Enigma)

* LowerRenz: Fixed issue that potentially caused a crash when both hemispheres had LowerRenz selected.

* Carpeggio: Standardized tuning and note values, to A=440Hz, C4=0V, C4=MIDI Note #60

* Added applet Enigma Jr., which allows real-time composition (via CV) using your Enigma library. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-Hemisphere ... nigma,-Jr.)

* Fixed issue that caused quantizer latency to be higher than it should have been.

* Added applet RunglBook, a chaotic shift-register modulation based on Rob Hordijk's rungler circuit. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-Hemisphere ... /RunglBook)

* Added applet Squanch, a Shifting Quantizer/Adder. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-Hemisphere ... -Quantizer)

* Added applet "A"SR, an analog shift register delay. In one hemisphere, it has two outputs; when selected in two hemispheres, the buffer is linked and uses all four outputs. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-Hemisphere ... /%22A%22SR)

* Added applet ShiftGate, a dual shift register-based aleatoric gate or trigger sequencer (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-Hemisphere ... /ShiftGate)

* Removed References, the last of the original Ornament and Crime apps.

* Envelope Follower: Added per-channel configuration for Follow and Duck functions.

* MIDI In/MIDI Out: Log is now accessed with button push rather than screen saver activation (because screen saver is no longer a thing; see above).

* ShiftReg: Increased low range to 0V for better support of digital oscillators.

* Sequence5: Same as above

* Minor font changes to improve readability

Thanks to everybody for your suggestions! The next release will be on October 26.

That page is a 404 though..

here's a direct link to the .hex:

Why not have gate outs for Darkest Timeline so that we can trigger a synth voice properly using these outs? On e.g a x0x Heart you will not hear a sound apart from a "kr.." because this 6ms trigger is too short for the synth.. if they were gates i could use one out to trigger the voice and another for accent (a trigger is too short to make proper accent).

I tried some other ones (Engima + a few more) and trigger outs seems to be the choice? Seems a bit useless to me except if you want to use them to trigger e.g drum modules. But there are better algos for that purpose i think.

That's my West Coast bias showing, I guess. I almost always trigger envelopes rather than gate them.

At this point, it would be more of an interface problem. I should be able to find space on the Setup screen for a gate option that would try to find a time that's around 90% of the clock period.

Enigma has both trigger and gate output types. For the gate type, the gate goes high when the low bit is 1, and stays there until the bit becomes 0.

So I think I've got a bug but it's my first time using Hemisphere so I might be wrong. When using Enigma Jr in the right Hemisphere the register is displayed on the left hand side and covers whatever is loaded there. Seems to work fine when using it on the left though.
