Stolen Ornaments: DualTM + O_CT4.1 News | O_C Phazerville Suite

Check out the new 8-channel Ornament & Crime hardware! And the applet that started it all - a dual linear feedback shift-register for looped random modulation and sequencing.
A very limited run of new T4.1-based units from Paul have been distributed to early beta testers and other developers. Check the links below for the BOM and other design files as they become available for DIY.

Welcome to Phazerville! I'm your host, Nick, aka DJ Phazer! I'm a music nerd from Michigan who makes weird noizes and overthinks everything! I grew up with Nintendo and Nickelodeon. I'm known in some circles for my beatbox skillz. I like to spin Drum & Bass and occasionally get lost in sound design and synthesis. You can expect a lot of DIY music tech here ;)

Damn, that's incredible. The 8-channel o_c looks so incredibly useful.

[@laspalmas7]

This was wild. Thanks for sharing!!! I guess I'm going to have to get another O_C 😏

[@dynalix]

You're doing a gods work, I can't thank you enough! Stoked to get a hold of this!

[@Phazerville]

@@dynalix Don't encourage my god complex! I'm just a messenger! 😜

[@compositecone92]

Thanks for your work. I love what you have done.

[@goonfish]

Oh man, I'm loving everything about this new unit (and, f/w obviously!) - already have the OG Plum OCP, but this looks like it'd still make a nice up-(side?)-grade while harvesting some more HP! Panel design is also right up my sleek-industrial alley; like a cross between ADDAC & Modulaire Maritime, or even ALM. 🎯

[@Phazerville]

Credit to Andrew (yratof) and Teemac for helping develop the panel!

[@andrewnancarrow]

I love you bro, so glad you are back in the game with this. Hey so with the Dual TM is that only a teensy 4.- thing to be able to have different quantization per channel? How do I get that?

[@andrewnancarrow]

Bear with me I’m a bit of a borderline boomer with code

[@Phazerville]

@@andrewnancarrow something new in v1.7.1 😉

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

Shit. I just bought a second O_C. I wonder when these dual units will be available?

[@eagel111]

This is awesome! Is there some info on how to use a Teensy 4.1 on an original O_C? Would love to try it

[@Phazerville]

@@eagel111 it kinda just works, if you connect the right pins and use my firmware... Teensy 4.0 is also a drop-in replacement

[@dragos.andriana]

Amazing project! Thank you! Is this 8 channel version open source? If it is, where can I find gerbers or files for the project? I would totally give it a try.

[@Phazerville]

@@dragos.andriana It will be open source soon! We're doing a round of hardware beta testing first... Check Paul's GitHub in the description.

[@boydw1]

Very kewl! Does Dual TM have the ability to accept resets? I feel like this is one of the major limitations of most TM/shift register modules, especially if you wanna explore odd pattern lengths. Even better might be if it could also trigger its own resets every bar or 2.

[@Phazerville]

It does not, but it could be possible. I've been embracing the chaos with this one, but I'm starting to see why a reset might be cool. It's tricky, because there's no real start/end, the bits are just constantly shifting. EnigmaJr has a reset tho...

[@boydw1]

@@Phazerville I don't know that it needs to be a "real" start/end point as such - the reset point in the register could be arbitrarily selected - it just needs to then be repeatable. To take it even further, it would be ideal to be able move the reset point (in a similar fashion to rotating a Euclidean pattern) to define where the register falls relative to the beat/bars. AFAIK the only way to do that with typical TM's is to add or remove clock steps. I've also had this idea floating around in my head for a pattern generator that combines Euclidean (or modified Euclid like Shakmat's Knights Gallop) with reversed 8-Bit bit table patterns like the Mazzatron Golden Shower, either CV/manual switched between, or combined with various logic operations. I'm not a code guy though - just an ideas guy.

[@justinkoller6599]

A good solution is to have a reset value, that IS a point in the sequence. Even better, would also to be a way to capture the current value of the shift register, to use as a reset value. Super math 5 star achievement would be to back calculate from the rest point, or fo forward & backward. Maybe I need to pick up some software skills and put my keyboard where my idea is.

[@Phazerville]

@@justinkoller6599 I'm definitely going to try out some of these ideas. It would be a great coding exercise though, if you beat me to it 😜

[@TheCubetap]

I'm definitely in favor of renaming Dual TM "Two Rings!"

lol I'm not exactly a hardware maker, but... maybe I'll attempt it ;)

[@mit136speichenumdiewelt]

I know that, but a module made by "Phazerville" is just something special. Think of all the coffees you can buy from it

[@CarlsbadSGP2007]

Do you like salted cashews?

[@Phazerville]

For sure, I love nuts! ...is this a reference to something I don't get? 😅

[@CarlsbadSGP2007]

@@Phazerville You're one of the good ones! I highly recommend munching on ¢a$hewz and drinking Cranberry Red Bull. Unfortunately Cranberry flavor is no longer made so you'll have to drink the Blue version. BTW a ¢a$hew is a seed not a nut, although I wasn't always aware of this myself!

[@Phazerville]

Ah yes, and peanuts are actually legumes! I admittedly like Red Bull on occasion but I'm usually content with my fruit seed soup ☕

[@KPsTboy]

Anyone know where the MIDI expansion for O&C can be bought? 🥲

[@PaulStoffregen]

Only the new O_C T4.1 has MIDI expansion and it's not released or for sale yet. If you ask DJ Phazer nicely, maybe you can get into the beta test for early access to the new hardware. If you manage to get one of the betas, it comes with the MIDI & USB expansion panel (because the idea is to be able to actually beta test the new features...)

[@KPsTboy]

@@PaulStoffregen Paul, thanks so much for responding, that explains some. I would very much appreciate volunteering for a beta test, though I have the tendency to drive developers up the wall for pushing tests to extremes 😅
