@PaulStoffregen thanks for making that. I can see so many uses from accessibility on a larger screen to projection for visuals. It’s a great contribution.
Thank you so much for covering this fantastic firmware. I love it so, but have been confounded by the clock setup for some time. Your explanation is perfect!
Very clear explanations. Find myself exploring an ap I have just viewed and returning to watch for the next of interest. Thanks for your hard work. You have well earned my Subscribe!
Is there a LFO where the AMPLITUDE can be controlled via CV? I found only this: Ebb & LFO
Nicholas Michalek edited this page on Jul 14, 2023 · 1 revision This is a single Tides-like oscillator. Both inputs and outputs are configurable. The outputs are visualized on the screen. It can function like a looping envelope generator or an audio-rate oscillator, with modulatable parameters for morphing the contour. Digital Inputs Clock Sync Reset CV Inputs These are also the corresponding on-screen parameters. Each input is assigned to one of: Frequency (Hz) - tracks V/Oct for audio-rate operation Slope - skews the waveform (much like the SkewedLFO applet) Shape - morphs between various curved segment combos Fold - wavefolder! Outputs Each output can be one of: Unipolar Bipolar Gate High - starts low, goes high at the end of the Attack phase Gate Low - starts high, goes low at the end of the Attack phase
You could use Piqued as an LFO (I show how to do this in my video on it) and set CV control over the sustain level I think. But typically that’s what a VCA is for; so you would take the output of Ebb & LFO in one hemisphere and then route that into the input of the GatedVCA applet in the right hemisphere and then you can control the amplitude.
Thanks for all you do on RUclips with OC. You are my OC guru, and I appreciate all the information and insight you provide for this deep module. One question I have, and maybe it should be obvious, but which app/ applet would you recommend for fast easy random stepped voltages, that would have the voltage range easily adjusted? I know there has got to be one that’s easy for this type of thing.
Good question; Steps will do that for you, or use a feedback shift register app or a Turing machine app. The Carpagio sequencer app allows you to randomise voltages and limit them to a range
Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I’m having a tough time figuring out which one actually can do this easily. Stairs is stepped in a certain direction even at random, so it’s not truly random. The TM app I’m having a hard time figuring out how to constrain voltages, and I don’t think I understand how to use the Carpaggio one. 😮
You're quickly becoming my go to resource, especially for o_c stuff, which I'm very new to. One quick question you may be able to answer - Pigeons bottoms out on me when modulating CV. The. first two sets of numbers eventually end up as 0+0, thus playing one note. I am attenuating the CV so the range is pretty small.
This does happen I've seen. You need to go in and manually bump one of the inputs to get it moving again. It's an issue with a low range as the modular arithmetic wraps around eventually
Great video on the features, thanks for making the video on this for us. Always makes it easier with the time codes so will be revisiting this as I use the module. On an unrelated point, do you prefer using the Moskwa 2 or the OXI for managing sequences on Eurorack? Have been toying with replacing my Eurorack sequencers with OXI but would be interested in your thoughts on which you prefer
The Oxi is a more complete sequencer in that you can build multiple parts and also create whole songs or performances. But the Moskwa2 is fun because it's very hands on, and using the Ostankino expander you get triggers for each step so can do crazy patching with it. The trick is using both; the Oxi for the overall performance and the Moskwa2 for a specific voice
very nice video, huge thanks, I like you channel and you haircut, I have the same !! Phazerville looks awesome, I just dwld it . I don't get the background midi thing, midi is an hemisphere applet right? so you open it , parameter it and then switch it to an applet but it will remain on ? and so it will only control internal applet param, not send and gate to outputs, right ? I
Yes I did need a good haircut. Think of MIDI applet as configuring how MIDI is routed in the background on the O_C. You go into the applet, set up MIDI, and then load another applet to do something else. All the while the MIDI messages are being processed by the firmware according to what you set in the MIDI applet. That means those messages are routed to the inputs of the applet you've loaded. It's as if you had patched a cable into the CV inputs, except the input comes from the MIDI
Will you be doing any videos on the Xaoc Zadar? Thanks for the o_c videos, recently installed Phazerville, just need to whittle down the apps I like and doing a custom build, hoping its easy to do so!
It’s very easy - just leave a comment on the build bot with the names of what you want and it builds it for you. I hadn’t planned to do a video on Zadar but you’re not the first person to ask about it, so I’ll put it on my list for the future
Excellent tutorial I keep referring back to whenever I’m stuck. One question on clocks I can’t seem to figure out. I want to send Pam’s to TR1 input, and “clock forward” to TR3 input. And I want the clock on TR3 to be 4x faster than the Pam’s clock coming into TR1. I tried putting x1 above TR1 in the first channel, and then x4 above the third slot (which has been switched to TR1 for clock forwarding to that channel). But both channels are being triggered at the same Pams rate.
Hmm that's a tricky one. Are you on the latest 1.8 firmware? The clock setup is explained here: firmware.phazerville.com/Clock-Setup. Let me know if that helps
Hey dad! Do you know if there's a thing on O and C that allows me to quantize, but tune a pitch or two a quarter tone sharp or flat within a scale? I want to make a middle eastern sorta thing.
synthdad i aleady swapped various firmwares on my OC but this one i can't get on the module. why do you think is that? i use a mac with catalina. would be great to get some help🙏
Which hex file have you downloaded? What happens when you try to install it on your OC? Are you using the same USB cable and Teensy loader program as before?
@@SynthDad which hexfile should i load?? i tried the first one phazerville 6d32 and i tried the second one too and nothing happened. my screnn just stays blanc asd eventho i let go the lil button the screen remains blanc. i need to power off the case and on again to get the oc on.. but you are right it might be the cable tho. but if i plug my oc to my computer with the same cable the screen is turnning on. i will try another cable. is there a name for the cable you can give me?? would be thank full if you say which hexfile is the right one.
New to o c and im lost with all the different firmwares is ther any list of whats what & a comparison, like is phazeeville the one to go with for versatility? And whats missing from it. Again very new & confused
Hi - don't worry, it can be a bit much at first. Phazerville is definitely the one to get as it incorporates all of the previous firmwares. You don't lose anything by using it.
@@labrax.0 Teensy 4.1 is the future for O_C as it can support audio processing as well as CV/gate. There are no versions available yet though as the T4.1 design and code is still being tested. Don't worry - the O_C based on Teensy 3.2 will be around for a long time to come!
You get the Hemispheres applets plus a subset of the original apps. The nice thing is you can customise that list of apps from the original firmware to your liking
The latest release of Phazerville is here: github.com/djphazer/O_C-Phazerville/releases The .hex file is platform independent so as long as the Teensy loader can read it you're good to go
If you install the Phazerville latest firmware a long press on the left button brings up the screensaver and one of the modes is to see the output per app
@@SynthDad I found it. Double tap on button (left button for left app, right button for right app). this gives an overview of in and outs for active app.
This has Hemispheres in it - it’s built on top of it and adds so much more. But you can always go back to older firmware, all the way back to the original firmware
I can’t find v1.7 as such, just the beta. And thirty minutes’ research suggests that- unlike the og firmware and Hemispheres- there’s no manual; I’ll have to pass until such time as there is. A pity, because I like the look of Pigeons (among others), but without knowing how to work it there’s no point.
The manual is the link I include in the description - and I show it in the video. There’s a manual page for each app linked in the Phazerville wiki. Also the new apps are listed on the right hand side of the page. Click there to go straight to their respective manuals. Are you not seeing that? As for releases, the beta1 is pretty much done for release so you can download it and use it
@@SynthDad I keep an iPad next to the modular, and seventy-odd manuals in a Dropbox folder, available at a touch. I can capture the GitHub link to Dropbox, but not as a pdf, so none of the contents are available offline. And I chose Pigeons as an example because the link leads to a philosophical discussion of the applet, not a guide as to how it functions. Tbh I’m also a little wary of repurposing the uO_C. The last After Later Audio uO_C I had developed a fault and had to be returned. When I casually mentioned to the retailer that it still had the stock firmware installed, I was told that had I reflashed it I would have invalidated the warranty, irrespective of the fact that it was a hardware fault (the left encoder ‘click’ function stopped working). That would have been an expensive mistake…
The “analog vs digital” debate is really not worth having. There are plenty of new Eurorack modules that are analog core (Instruo TsL or Winter Plankton Zaps for example). That’s the wonderful thing about Eurorack; there’s so much choice for everyone
Modular for me is a Polyfusion or a ARP 2500, on the contrary all this plug in sounding modern crap are as they say: pure ornament and a big crime, shame I spent my time watching this crap.@@SynthDad

Slope - skews the waveform (much like the SkewedLFO applet)
