Maths As A Complex Oscillator

[@TheIllestMD]

Another way to use Maths as a complex oscillator is send a square wave from a VCO to the trig inputs of CH 1 or 4. You just have to set the rise time sufficiently small such that it doesn't exceed the square wave's wavelength. This gets you accurate v/oct tracking. If the triggering square wave's wavelength exceeds the rise time of Maths you'll get subdivided frequencies which is super cool. This is basically how a Mangrove works. What I do is take two square wave VCOs, sync one of them to the other, and use those respective waves to trigger CH 1 and CH 4 of Maths. When you play with the frequency of the sync'd square wave you can get some really gnarly artefacts on Maths. This is essentially how Mangrove works in constant formant mode. If you don't want all of the formants artefacts and microtone subdivision then just mult the v/oct CV to CH 1 and CH 4 "both" inputs. Another trick is to send the Ch 1. and Ch 4. Maths outputs to a VCA and AM them with the same square wave used to trigger said channels.

This is the best demo ever. Now I know how to use it not only as a modulation source for my Microbrute, but also as a 2nd VCO to run into the audio input!

Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!

Awesome vid Joe. Maths, the module that keeps on giving, year after year.

[@voltagecontrollab]

+Sysex|Studio Thanks man :)

[@DivKid]

Good stuff as always mate!

[@voltagecontrollab]

+DivKidVideo Thank you :)

[@SasvanGulik]

Was looking for more modulation and an interesting oscillator. Found both! I know of Maths reputation but this is just, crazy!

[@mike.thomas]

My head exploded. Give me a minute to pick up the pieces. :-)

[@guitarvideos777]

Great Job!!! Thanks for the great depth and science!

[@cryptout]

very cool

[@Satwamassive]

Thanks for explaining!

I'm confused about where the yellow cable was coming from, you twice mentioned pitch control & atonal pitch control then plugged it(yellow cable) into the "both" input on maths. But where/what is plugged into the the other end of the yellow cable? A controller keyboards cv?.... A sequencers cv out? An Lfo? Just trying to understand .

[@voltagecontrollab]

NYCP NY yes it's a sequencer signal, which is altering the length of both rise and fall, the result being a change in frequency of the cycling wave :)

All I gotta say is I just saved my skiff from the pawnshop and let the buying frenzy begin!!! 4 more modules to fill it up! BOOM!

[@citizenramirez]

Pure gold thnks!

[@carycrank9453]

very nice, thank you. and a new subsrciber!

[@anthonybrett]

Amazing work, you just took two looping AD generators with a mixer and some atteuvertors and made an oscillator. Maths! The most over hyped module in the world!

[@iamcomputo]

Great comment!

[@guidewired]

one step forward..... many more to go

[@IIHOGZBREATHII]

Sweet! I'm still trying to wrap my head around this module. That course sounds enticing,

[@voltagecontrollab]

I've got a section starting tomorrow during the day if you are eager, or will have another one starting soon. Email me and I'll give you a discount too :) [e-mail]

[@IIHOGZBREATHII]

"soon" is prob the better option for now, but it does sound like a plan. I will e-mail you as soon as I'm able to commit for course dates. Thank you!

[@voltagecontrollab]

The discounts will be waiting for you :)

[@IIHOGZBREATHII]

Cool beans, looking forward!
