2hp Turing Machine tutorial, for humans

2hp Turing Machine, Intellijel Scales, Varigate, Basimilus Iteritas Alter eurorack, explained. Explanation upfront, first 15 minutes, jam towards the end ... the jam finds its groove at 32 minutes, just after I say "well, I think we lost the plot"... as usual:)

Very good, everything well explained, good job!

[@Ralf-CGN]

very nice (and educational). Top notch! Thanks a lot!

Tick Tick Tick Dee Dee. Love it ❤ Great video.

thanks!

Thank you!

Quality Energy 🙌

[@csdave89]

Hey, cool video, thanks for this! I was wondering...are you connecting directly to your mixer?? Do you just use a little mono 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter on the other end of that light green patch cable on the right??

[@bartdecrem4092]

YUP! I just use a 3.5mm jack adapter to run that thing straight into my patchbay!

[@christoroppolo8742]

Man that basimilus module is chunky. 👽

[@josepha891]

I’m trying to wrap my head around TM in general and the sequencer. If the TM is creating the random sequence, what is the sequencer doing? I’m trying to decide if a Turing machine is what I want or Marbles. Thanks for the video.

[@notsospy]

I think he is using the sequencer OUT2 and OUT4 as both a trigger output to the TM (which spits out a random note whenever it gets a trigger) and to trigger the BIA, and the OUT1 to control the BIA decay (which is CV controlled)

Hey, really nice but couldn’t you just have used the varigates internal quantizer? Thanks

[@bartdecrem4092]

Hi Diego! I find that my melodic ideas are weak, so as a workflow I like spinning the wheel w Turing machine, see what happens, then quantize it and let it evolve etc. and I use varigate more for other modulations such as fm, filter etc

[@Djura__]

I'm just putting together my first Eurorack and one thing that confuses me at the moment is the quantization on the Varigates. Could you have used the inbuilt quantization on the 4+ instead of using Scales? I am looking at purchasing the Varigate 8+ and am hoping that i will not require a separate quantization module in order to tune any generative patches.

[@bartdecrem4092]

yes, the varigate has decent quantization options (5 or 6 scales IIRC). I really enjoy playing with the quantization, disabling specific notes etc, as part of live jamming, so I like the additional flexibility / tactile abilities I get from Scales (the way the LEDs show you which notes are playing, and then you can tap to turn a specific note on or off...)

[@Djura__]

@@bartdecrem4092 Thanks very much for the reply and confirming that with me. Yes the Scales looks excellent I must say.

[@ogami1972]

My biggest question is how you fit a 2hp module into a 4ms pod. I've tried MIX and ARP, both are to deep. I haven't tried my TM yet. Now, back to actually learning about the module, lol.

[@bartdecrem4092]

Omg that is the worst when the modules don’t fit because of case depth. I’ve had this problem with the moog cases and also w 4ms. 4ms sells a deeper version of their cases, so that what I have. They are not as elegant looking tho
