Maths Patch: EOR + Slew Limiting = ASR Envelopes (and long ones at that)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- A person on Reddit asked how to create a very long envelope for making ambient music - as usual, Maths has us covered. Is there anything it can't do?
If you want to know more about the EOR output or how Slew Limiters work, come on in and grab a drink.
For more detail you can also check out bit.ly/maths201 for a whole video on EOR/EOC and gates & triggers; or there's bit.ly/maths203 for a lot more on slew limiters.

This is just genius! Big massive thanks for this video!
A great addition to the series of Maths videos.
Useful cut-out-and-keep guide- thanks!
Well made concise educational video. Thanks!
Yours are the best modular education videos on YT. So glad that you’re back doing Maths videos! Will you do more of the Eurorack patching for beginners series ? I’m not too proud to beg ;-)
Hey, thanks, that's really nice of you to say!
I'll probably end up doing a few more of these shorter Maths videos now that I've covered most of the big stuff. And I don't know for sure, but I'm considering 2-3 videos on Pams New Workout.
But I'm definitely going to be doing some more beginning patching videos. I have one in mind that is "all about Pitch CV: quantizers, tuning, precision adders and more" :)
@@SoundVoltage That sounds amazing - I look forward to both the Pams and the Pitch vids, both would be super useful to me. Pam's is amazing for synced clock and modulation but I know it can do much more that I don't really understand. Would love to see what you can do with some more advanced patching!
Love your videos! Super well produced!
Thanks! They take a while to put together, but I'm glad people appreciate the effort.
Great one 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The links are google slides documents not videos
as someone new to modular (and Make Noise Shared System) your videos are fantastic. very valuable. however, this video in particular seems like it assumes a bit more knowledge/experience than i have. is it possible you can actually elaborate on the patching here...like "patch this into this, then...this into this...)? it's hard to see where things are patched other than the Mordax Data - i really want to create long, slow release envelopes but just can't follow it and get it. thanks for listening! sorry for the rookie question - we all have to start somewhere!
This is really using 2 features of Maths. It's going to take the EOR gate output on channel 1, then you patch that EOR out into the Channel 4 in, and we'll use Ch 4 as a slew limiter, which will turn the sharp edges of the gate into nice smooth attack & release segments for the envelope.
If you want to launch it from another module (like on a clock) then take that clock and run it into Ch1 Trigger. Turn Ch1 Rise down to zero, and turn Ch 1 Fall up to about 75% or so -- Ch 1 Fall will determine how long the envelope is, so you'll need to dial it in. The value of the Ch1 attenuverter isn't important.
Then take the Ch1 EOR and put it into the Ch4 Input. The Ch4 rise & fall knobs will control low long the Attack and Release segments of the envelope are. Maybe set it to 50% or so to start, but you'll need to dial it in. Then Ch4 output is your ASR envelope output -- take it and patch it into your VCA CV input. The Ch4 attenuverter will control the maximum output level of the envelope, so you'll probably want to set it quite high (or use the Ch4 unity output and then the attenuverter value doesn't matter).
With any luck, I remembered how this patch worked and it'll do what you expect :)

I think calling EOC "rising" is misleading. Isn't the gate also high when ch4 is steady/inactive?
It's a fair point - though in the context of slewing/cycling it does behave in a 'falling' way. But yes, if it's not cycling and is just sitting there low then it is technically at the 'end of cycle'. But I think in terms of a short-hand way to remember that it's a gate and not a trigger, 'falling' is more meaningful. Worth calling that out though, thanks!
@@SoundVoltage totally, "Rising" works when thinking cycling, but not quite when using Ch4 as a one-off function generator. Just wanted to point it out :)
Anyway, I love the videos! I've been diving into the supplementary maths patch book and thinking some of those could do with a video explanation. Also more Teletype videos would be amazing. I appreciate the effort that goes in :)
