if sum is the equation ax1 + bx2 + cx3 + dx4, then it can essentially be thought of as the dot product {a,b,c,d}.{x1,x2,x3,x4}. So if you think of each attenuverter as the component of a vector, and each of the channels as the component of another vector, then the sum operation multiplies their two magnitudes and the cosine of the angle between them. or in other words: it projects one vector onto the other and multiplies their resulting magnitudes. crazy! Imagine the kind of complex math you can do with this if you really analyze what's going on each of the channels. Their voltages vary, but in ways that can be related to each other. This is really cool.

I enjoy your videos.. but I gotta say, by the time you're patching an LFO from Peaks to channel 1, all could think was.. "There's an LFO right there on channel 4!" If you want a waveform LFO, use the Unity or Ch4 output. If you need a square, use the EOC out. The self-patching potential is what makes Maths so good. Anyhow, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the video! Still trying to understand: what's the main difference between Cycle and Trigger inputs?
@onceuponasynth6 жыл бұрын
The cycle input simple toggles the cycle on or off. it's like a gate input for pressing the cycle button. So as long as a gate is high in this input it will keep looping. The trigger input actually triggers the function. Hope that makes sense.

Amazing video. Thank you. Question for the masses, if I went another direction and bought a Function or Contour1 (basically Maths ch 1 or 4 only) Would I miss not having the rest of the Maths functions? are most people using all functions simultaneously ie the mixer, both slope gens, attenuators, etc? Im aware that it all depends on what Im trying to do. Just wondering in a real world scenario. This would be for noodling in the house, not creating the next masterpiece to give to the world😄. Just looking to save a bit of space and cash.
@cp99music2 жыл бұрын
Well first thing to realize is that you’re not actually getting the full 1st and 4th channels of Maths, because neither Function nor Contour has built in attenuation. If you already have a ton of attenuation, inversion, offset, and mixing in your setup then you could probably do without some of the logic stuff especially if you don’t do generative patching or use complex modulation by combining multiple sources. However, if you don’t have a lot of utilities, you’ll probably be patching and think “damn, I wish I had another attenuator/mixer/offset voltage” and that’s where Maths comes in clutch. The best way to get the most out of a Maths like module in the least HP is probably the Cosmotronic Delta V which is two function generators and two VCA’s in 10hp.

mathematical bleeps and burps and farts. Personally I like your more melodic use of this gear. The more and more esoteric modules, it seems like not only do people go down deep financial holes, but never really get to master anything. And unless, one takes a photos of all the knob and patch cable positions, Its unlikely that, if one does create something musical(assuming that is even a goal) then they would never be able to get that patch back again. Of course, some people like our author here, actually might be able to, because he has a unbelievable knowledge of how gear works. IMHO of course. Oh the love of Modular :-)
@onceuponasynth7 жыл бұрын
Yeah modulars are interesting beasts. I definitely need much more practice with it in order to coax something other than bleeps and bloops out of it. My goal with this eurorack box is to explore more experimental sounds because I already have too many traditional synths. I think the key for me will be utilizing a quantized sequencer or a standard keyboard and making modulation much more subtle. I was listening to this podcast the other day where they mentioned that modulars should be treated like traditional instruments in that you need lots of practice to get it to sound good. The problem is most people swap out module and re-configure the modular too often so it becomes harder to master one setup. Hopefully with enough patience and practice I will end up with something more melodic and pleasing. Thanks for the feedback!
