Strange Envelopes: Basic Enveloping and Pseudo Echo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Allen Strange wrote the book on modular synthesizers in the 1970s. Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls. Unfortunately since the expanded 1982 edition, it has never been reprinted, and in today’s landscape where more people have access to modular synths than ever before, very few have access to the knowledge contained within. This video series will explore patches both basic and advanced from Strange’s text. Even the simplest patches here yield kernels of knowledge that can be expanded upon in infinite ways. I have been heavily influenced by Strange since long before I became a modular synth educator. Please share this knowledge far and wide.
The first video in the series covers one basic and one slightly less basic patch using envelopes.

Sometimes called a note...
Love that quote. A friend and I have a everlasting debate about the term "musical"
Brilliant. Instantly makes you (well, me) think "what IS a note?" Which is definitely something you need to start thinking about in modular.
Thanks Walker:). Look forward to the whole series.
This is such a great idea for a series whether you are familiar with the text or not. Really looking forward to this and thanks to MakeNoise for putting such an invaluable source of inspiration and ideas back out there again (with added sound examples)!
A+. More like this, please!
Looking forward for moar!
great idea
Thanks!!!
Recently, I was going through my many boxes of books and to my surprise was this pink and white book with blue text on the cover: Allen Strange - Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls, December 1972. Lots of informative nuggets in there. I look forward to more videos!
Nice surprise!! We will also do patches that only appear in the 1983 edition, so stay tuned!
Wow, the newer edition has 100+ more pages and is $175 on Amazon - out of print! Are these the patches and techniques for the upcoming videos? I can't wait. Many thanks.
Ha! I guess this is the answer to the question: Why do I keep hauling all of these boxes of crap around for all of these years?
Very cool! Looking forward to more of these.
Awesome!! Sometimes I forget how much of my 'technique' came from that book.
This is beyond me. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of a "note". Start with a less arcane concept next time :)
This is a great Bite sized lesson that was easy to understand and follow along. Well done! Totally enjoyed it!
I’m really looking forward to this series! Thanks, MN!
Excellent!
Nice bit like a simple bouncing ball patch might have to read maths manual again souch a good moduel
If you patch the slower function's variable out to FALL input of the faster function, you could have the "ball" speed up or slow down as it fades out.
Nice 1
short and sweet
Yes!
Great!
Are these the same visual notations that the LearningModular guy talks about on his Patreon?
these diagrams are made to be in the same style as what we use in our manuals.
As per the description in the video, I went back and the Learning Modular fellow was indeed also using the visual conventions described by Allen Strange, who in turn got it from Pail Beaver and Bernard Krause in their 1968 Booklet. Very nice.
Check out page 37 of the old Synapse Magazine for more historical versions of this same patch notation system. monoskop.org/images/d/dd/Synapse_Vol_2_No_5.pdf
It's a nice little synth time capsule as well :)
Yes, these are classic notations. We have realized them here in a similar aesthetic style to our manuals.
Is there someplace to go to learn what is a "maths", a "VCA", etc.?
