Dual 0-CTRL Sequencing

Let’s try a little dual 0-CTRL sequencing! Since the 0-CTRL is highly oriented around the possibilities of self-patching, it could be fun to extend some of the self-patching ideas to two 0-CTRLs working together. Self-other patching? Or better yet, friend patching!!

This is why we use modular. Masterclass for those who forgot.

I sold all of mine. Cant make music when the world is in the dumpster. I feel to guilty

[@mhRR299]

Sounds really good! The two timbres are distinct enough to allow the listener to differentiate the two sequences, yet they sound so good together! This jam has an epic psy-chill vibe, I dig!! Especially the bits where you modulate the gate length and swing!

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Cool sounds! As always! Thanks!

One of your best videos to date, Walker.... thanks!!!! Been going to town with my SQ-1 in the place of 0-CTRL-1

I'm usually not into swing, but it's sounding really good here!

[@teamgrisly8336]

Great video! I picked up a second 0-CTRL not long after getting the easel and it's been the source of many interesting sounds and happy accidents.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Happy patching! ⚡️🎶⚡️

[@btmtv]

been patching a variations of pressure points & o-control with o-coast /strega / shared system ...but these patch tips will add new dimensions to my fun. Thanx Walker! ❤️🎛🎛⚡️

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Thanks Bill!

[@redwoodword]

External clocking doesn't get the love it deserves in most 0-CTRL videos on KZbin. One of my favourite "friends" patches for the 0-CTRL is clocking with an LFO that does PWM or can distort waveforms in some way. Feed the PWM input a drizzle of random voltage and the sequenced notes will get bumped around slightly but the overall tempo will be rock solid.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Great one! Yes, I love the relations between external and internal clock rates and the way the Time and Strength params get a little unmoored from the clock when clocking it externally ⚡️

[@redwoodword]

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Yes the way you can manipulate note/envelope length with the time knob(s) while clocking externally is very cool.

I enjoy using my 0-ctrl as an oscillator, doing wave shaping and sequencing pitch with another sequencer. Would love to see a part 2 with ONLY 2 0-ctrls.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

This is not just an amazing demo, it's also a great live performance. Absolute control...

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Thanks!! ⚡️🎶⚡️

[@PaulBoos]

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC I agree really cool performance!

[@paradiddle16]

That's awesome just the possibilities. I was thinking about picking up another one recently to pair it and I also have the 0-coast and strega I love these little patchable synths! So easy to move around and integrate in other small setups.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Happy patching!

[@ComsiCaterpillar]

I don't even do "West Coast Synth", but the 0 ctrl is my favorite piece of modern gear. The market is saturated with good sounding cheap synths . . . the Step Sequencer world is where there market is still anemic, except this piece of gear. Violinists usually love their bows more the violin itself

Great DEMO very cool thanks for this.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

[@PaulBoos]

Really cool... I really love the 0-CTRL, so versatile. I am going to carry forward some of these concepts (though in a different way) to combine my one 0-CTRL with my Analogue Solutions Generator. I figure that will be a cool combo.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Happy patching!!

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Good job I watched this minutes AFTER buying an Erbe Verb rather than before. I don’t NEED another 0-Ctrl, but you’d probably have made me buy one anyway…

[@LukeTeaford]

One of my favorite sequence patches is using a sequencer to address location of another sequencer (so like 0-Ctrl clocked addressing Rene locations). It works with the gates n' glides so you can sort of select those features dynamically with the 0-Ctrl. Or even also use 0-Ctrl pressure or gates to sequence or step thru or move thru one of the other axes... (plan a weekend around this patch :) )

[@MM-ib6qh]

Awesome, the swing part and faster rate of the 0-coast #2 creates such a great sound! Kinda glitchy. Also, who doesn't want expanding returns?

[@surrealchemist]

Sequencing sequencers is something I was thinking about after reading about Suzanne Ciani’s techniques. I had been thinking about it a while back but was waiting on the Tiptop Buchla sequencer. I had even bought the SQ-1 and a 0-CTRL while I was waiting for the Buchla modules to come out. One idea I want to try is control the speed using the cv output of the other, or control the speed of an LFO and send that to cycle through the steps in a pattern at different rates.

[@neuzd]

Definitely going to experiment 0-ctrl x dfam. Its trigger, run/stop, adv/clock patch points when used together open up to some deeply creative sequencing already. Thanks!

[@snorrevonflake]

I have not really learnt how to use it but thought about getting a second one.

[@LukeLendrum]

My favourite thing to do with 2 sequencers I call sequence-stacking where you program an A sequence which is offset by a B sequence. So a really basic version of this would be say an 8 note sequence of eighth notes being offset by a 4 note sequence of whole notes... giving you a four bar progression... with a scale quantizer you can basically transpose a sequence through a chord progression. Another fun way to utilise this is to have the A sequence be a odd number sequence of random tonics, fifths and octaves and have that play against your standard acid sequence. This gives your acid line a lot more variety without it getting harmonically too far away from your original sequence. The odd number sequence gives a much further away lowest common denominator before the sequence repeats.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Great ideas! Tuning two different length sequences harmonically like this can also lead to great results when ring modulating the two VCOs together, as Allen Strange demonstrated.

You could also use sequential switches and create a 16 step 0-ctrl.

I'll be honest...i'm a bit disapointed that you didn't name the two 0 Ctrls Bob and Barbara. But the demonstration was great, the jams were trippy and you've pointed to Hélène and Chalisk last making of so...all is good and excellent !

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

[@Ian-gw2vx]

I have had my 0 ctrl almost a year and now it has become unstable. When I am in touch mode the sequencer randomly turns on and off. While the sequencing ob/off button is now unresponsive.

[@harvestergames]

Great but is it possible to create sequence of 16 notes ? Last note of 1st 0-ctrl could start sequence on 2nd 0-ctrl ?

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

This could be done with a sequential switch like the Doepfer a-151.

[@unnimamusic]

Hi! As far as I know, harverstergames suggestion would result in a 14 steps sequence, not 16@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC , because the if used as a trigger to > reset, le 8th note won't play, would you mind sharing detail about how to manage the sequential switch ? thank you !

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

You would patch one Step Gate output to trigger the switch, with two rows of the 0-CTRL patched to the switch’s inputs. You would not use the reset input.

[@user-ey6kh2ut4x]

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Hey!, Using a sequential switch helped me to achieve a flawless 16 steps, now, does anyone could recommend the simplest flow to combine the 2 CV note output into one ? then going to a sound module., my way is using sequential module again, be it come to a very complexe patch. I would love to physically connect 2 O-control, I mean by soldering from the internal but I guess no-one would suggest me this :)

SQ-1 has quantization on its outputs. 0-CTRL must be tuned by ear. The outputs could alternatively be run through a Eurorack quantizer module. Happy patching!

[@godless_pacifist]

Any chance you'd do a video with two Renes? That could be pretty cool

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Since René already features multiple channels that can modulate each other, two of them would be a lot! (also a lot of space in the case) But never say never!

[@MaikeruSumisu]

Are you using multiple y-adapters to power all modules with one power adapter or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Two Y adapters from two power bricks :)

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Happy patching!

Can these be cascaded ? So you could have 16 steps?

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

You would probably need to supplement them with some utility modules, in particular a sequential switch would be useful for automatically switching from one sequencer to the next when it reached a certain step.

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC OK, I do that now in my Dot Com system.
