Stolen Ornaments: ResetClk | O_C Phazerville Suite

Is it a crime to commit someone else's code to Github? Can free information be stolen? In this new series, I set out to highlight and jam with one tool at a time from the vast pool of open source firmware code that I've collected for the DIY Ornament & Crime eurorack module. And I honestly try to give credit where it's due! ;)
Here, I'm using "ResetClk" by Oktagon (aka Peter Kyme) - a clocking tool for the DFAM sequencer, and similar sequencers that only advance in one direction. I don't own a DFAM, but I do have some other use cases for it, including the Bitbox Micro slice sequence mode. Thank you, kind stranger!
Which O_C applet should I cover next time?

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 ;)

I don't think it's stolen.... you are more saving it from obscurity. I say that as someone who compiled my own OC firmware (I included the drummap2 patterns) you are really bringing a lot of code out of obscurity.

[@Phazerville]

I suppose I'm acting as a librarian. Thanks for the encouragement! ☺️

[@PuckvanCool]

great stuff man.. digged the smb stuff. diid not know that,

[@parristaylor]

Very clever

[@PatternMusic]

The popular Korg SQ-1 sequencer also lacks a reset.

[@Phazerville]

For real? Welp, that's another one!

[@fabianmartinez31283]

Cool video, and a really good question, my opinion is that when it's open source you can use it. I love the uO_C and also absolutely love the Phazerville Suite, it's installed on 4 of 10 uO_C in my "Sequencing and modulation rack" and it invites me every time to be creative and to play with new ideas. It has so many applets that the possibilities are endless. The resetClk is a great applet with more than only a reset. The "glitch-fx" when it resets is a really cool thing. I admire what you do, your work on this videos, on the Phazerville Suite and that it's available for all of us "O-C users" I thank you so much!

[@Phazerville]

Ahhh I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Inspiring others is the greatest reward for my work! 🥰

[@PatternMusic]

Expert Sleepers Disting also has a reset clock algorithm. I don't know if it works the same. It's called "C-1 Counter"

[@Phazerville]

Good to know! I still want a Disting... someday 🙃

[@sebp400]

ah, that's how it works. I was wondering how it worked this morning. I was reading the source code to try to understand.

[@Phazerville]

Reading the source code is an excellent way to understand things!

[@boydw1]

Good work bro! I've been contemplating how gates might be implemented on Turing machines, as most of them don't feature a reset. It seems like this might work for that, though changing the TM pattern length might throw it off? I'm also curious if there is a way to implement a kind of mute for the reset, perhaps with another O&C gate output patched into a VCA, held high during the pattern to open the VCA, and dropping to 0v to close the VCA quickly during the reset?

[@Phazerville]

I should have mentioned: the 2nd output is a trigger that fires when the step has arrived, so you can use that to open an envelope or VCA, effectively masking the scribbly bits. Modifying it to act as a gate wouldn't be too difficult...

[@BurkhardusX]

Hello dear DJ PHAZER. Before I buy the O_c I would like to clarify a question. Am I able to modulate not only frequency (FM) of an LFO in Phazerville, but also modulate the level (AM) of an LFO? Can I assign CV1 or CV2 to the LFO depth? That would be wonderful. Thank you very much for your kind and sincere support. You are doing a great work for the community.

[@Phazerville]

Excellent question! There is probably a lack of AM on the LFO applets... but I will try to remedy that! I could easily add an option to Ebb&LFO. Until then, an external VCA would do the job.

[@BurkhardusX]

@@Phazerville Thank you so much dear DJ PHAZER for your quick and patient reply. I build up my first modular synth as a small rig, as shown in the below video. I have only 10 HP left and I am looking for an complex quad LFO with clock sync and AM/FM which is also able to generate euclidian patterns for the 4 LFOs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqvQo3d6rrOBi68

[@BurkhardusX]

@@Phazerville Thank you so much. I build up a small rig and have only 10 hp space left. Now I am looking for a complex CV generator module, that features clock synced LFO as well as FM and AM capabilities and in addition Euclidean patterns, not only as triggers, but also for the LFO. It would be amazing if you could add some of these options to Ebb&Lfo or a similar app.

[@skunkman777]

is this the same trick that the MAFD device uses?

[@Phazerville]

Most likely 😉

[@X-101]

Would be interesting if it did the skipping only when you stop the clock that way it will be on the one without the artifacts of it skipping thru a bunch of steps when you press start

[@Phazerville]

I should have mentioned, the second output is a trigger that happens after the step has arrived at its destination... you can use that to control an envelope or VCA to help mask the skipping bits

[@JasonEfstathiou]

The clock out from this hemisphere doesn't trigger my DFAM sequencer for some reason. There's definitely a pulse coming out of output 1, but when plugged into "advance" on the DFAM with the sequencer started, it never advances. Any idea what could be the reason?

[@Phazerville]

Did you try adjusting the spacing? Maybe 6ms is too short... also check Trig Length setting in Hemisphere Config if you're not running v1.6.999+

[@JasonEfstathiou]

@@Phazerville yeah I tried adjusting the spacing, nada unfortunately. Same with trig length. I noticed that when I plug out 1 of ResetClk into Scope, the voltage readout appears to be alternating between 0 and ~2V. A gate signal is supposed to be 5V, right? Could that be why it's not triggering? Thanks a lot for your help btw! And thanks for maintaining this awesome project 😎

[@Phazerville]

Pulse voltage for trigger outs is set to 5V (or 8V for VOR/Plum Audio). Scope might just be too slow to see it... Try some other applets or voltage sources to verify DFAM operation. If you still have trouble, file an issue on GitHub!

[@JasonEfstathiou]

Cool, I'll mess around some more tomorrow and maybe hook up my proper scope to it to see exactly what's going on. I do know that Pam's triggers my DFAM just fine so luckily it's not broken or anything^^

[@JasonEfstathiou]

Just out of curiosity, do you know that it generally works with the DFAM? Like, have you been able to test it with one? Wondering if maybe something's up with my o_c hardware.

[@psychomafia]

Can you do Pigeons next?

[@jaywulf]

If your code is used, its theft. If you use someone else's code, its appropriation.

[@Phazerville]

This is such an interesting take... is "appropriation" considered socially acceptable? 🤔

[@andrewnancarrow]

Do dual TM

[@Phazerville]

Definitely 😉

[@erispe]

From the title I thought you were going to out some company for stealing code and putting it in their module..

[@Phazerville]

lol alas, a personal confession 😜

[@ryanmartinez2876]

It all depends on whos CV you are using. Not all CV are created equal. Gods CV has no equal. Only the CV from his son Jesus will ever amount to anything. Apart from that, im looking forward to learning o_c myself. PEES

[@Phazerville]

Fear the Almighty Voltage Controller!! hahaha
