Todd, your videos are amazing. Would you say that most cases wouldn't need more than one Source of Uncertainty? It seems like with six sections, one will be enough for most systems.
Thanks Todd, great intro! How do the noise sources sound going into the FM input of the 258? Do you know if the quantised voltages are to standard western pitch? (My pitch is terrible!)
Anything is possible but I believe it is the correct channel and I would agree the distribution curves are subtle in this example probably should have increased the 1v/8va input for a wider range.
I need to study noise more. I was under the impression is white noise is the full spectrum and then you remove certain frequencies to get the others but maybe its more complex than I understood it. Can't wait to get my hands on this one. My rack is almost complete and then I might start ordering duplicates once the next module comes out.
I'm no expert but I think white noise is full spectrum but our perception skews it. For our ears a doubling of frequency is perceived as an octave - so we hear all of the top half of the frequency range as one high octave the next quarter of the range is an octave, the next eighth the next lowest octave and so on. I think the result is that the high end dominates and the low end is under represented in white noise. My understanding is that pink and red noise are adjusted to sound more balanced to our ears.

Really appreciate your videos Todd... always check them straight after i've ordered the module to start learning!
Same, here!
Your videos are always very education. Thanks!
Thank You! So Excited for mine to come!
very cool🙃💙thanks for sharing
Thanks for the demo. I'm wondering about the voltage ranges of the outputs, especially whether they ever go negative.
I actually don’t know but my guess is they don’t go negative. Might write tiptop
@@vgermuse Thanks

I would agree with that ☺️
@@vgermuse super, thanks so much!!!

Haven’t tried that
is it possible that you use the wrong Red Panda channel at 7.58?

Oops! You played the wrong VCO when demoing the bottom section. Should have used the bottom right knob on the mixer instead of the middle knob.
D’oh! Good catch 😫
@@vgermuse And all this time I thought you were infallible.
You are still the G.O.A.T.
@@precarious333music hehe, sorry to burst your bubble 😜 just a regular schmo 🙇♂️
