so i bought a switch.
a doepfer dual 2-1 vc switch. it's bidirectional, meaning that it can go 2-1 and 1-2. the purchase was mainly to get some timbres that i'd been getting on the g2, for instance the idea of putting a pulse width on anything. i tried this, smiled, and then started to make some more patches. and then MY FUÇKING FACE EXPLODED.
i realized that, in its essence, the switch is a 2-event bidirectional multiplexing sequencer what that means is that, unlike a sequencer, timbres, gates, note values, anything can get routed through.
who cares? WHO CARES? WHO F***ING CARES, YOU IMPLORE?
i care a little.
what i realized could be done is that you could atomize the sequencer!
btw i hate the normal function of a sequencer. all they do is spit out some notes/gates you put into dials/toggles. bleh bleh bleh.
but this idea, chunking it into component parts, this is special. you could do everything a normal sequencer does, including running it from different lfos, through making the different steps into event [x] that can be defined only by limits of talent. maybe clock pulse 1 advances the sequencer, pulse 2 runs intervals until a certain note is reached, pulse 3 starts a windmill and wakes up frankenstein who must hand a flower to a young girl who is actually a robot with pulse 4 in her hand, etc. etc. and also, you could modularize order of steps, make testing circuits via comparators that advance to certain states: a true analog computer instead of your LAME ASS 16X2 STEP SEQUENCER.
so yeah, i had visions of the most absurd doepfer g6, a collection of s&h, switch, multiples, cv sources, comparators, invertors, diodes, etc. basically the most expensive (because these type of modules, though inexpensive, tend to be small) and hard to use (most of these modules also have only patch points, no knobs or buttons hahah) doepfer EVAR.
lol
fun facking times.
ps: i also have a dual s&h on the way MUAAHAHAHAHAHAHA | |

look, if you make it jerky to own a modular, only jerks will own modulars.

well, I hope you don't think it was me who was implying that...
but it's true, ONLY JERKS OWN MODULARS ;) ...wish I was a jerk

there's an example of some modular sequencing. i didn't touch anything, just started the clock and let it go.
the patch is:
four note sequencers are being toggled each when a certain note is reached. they are running at different speeds, and also, at the end of a sequence, they are augmented by a random interval. the length of each of those sequences is randomly chosen at the switch of a sequence. parts of the decision chain are being sent to the fm, filter, and envelope, and evolve along with the pitches.

i've seen the vocalizer thing but not their wacky sequencers. neat!
