Impressive, x.iso!

That is so awesome :hyper:

CPU killer though. :neutral:

well it occupies about 20% on my old laptop (3rd gen Core-i7), is it heavy on your setup?

I take that back. I don't know what was going on earlier but it seems fine now. Give or take about the same on here.

What are you guys using to slew (glide notes) for sequences within the Grid? Filters and envelopes can slew but I've had limited success.

Steps -> Follower

Steps -> Follower
combined with Select and additional Gates for triggering Select when note glide needed.
also for simplification Average module could suffice for smoothing value change instead of Envelope follower, unless glide speed needs to be differentiated between note up/down changes

The Lag module is also worth looking into for that goal, I've used it for most of my slewing needs so far.

Polarity recently discussed in his video the thing about FM synthesis, that Oscillator modules got pitch input in semitones and modulating with that results in exponential FM, plus there's additional keytrack involved. For linear FM synthesis you can use LFO, set it to kilohertz rate 0, then insert rate modulation from oscillator and adjust amount to 1 for stable sound (or maybe 1.05 as it corresponds to C5)

Hi,
here are some experiment to create with the Grid some glitchy sounds!

Can Grid do physical modeling - like violin?

how to reliably increment integers in the grid (above the image is a gif of how to set it up).

here's the patch I decided to use it in:

doubtless there are more musical uses for it :)

Why not increment with Counter module? In case of no limit?

Post

probably because I was super tired last night haha, that said I still think the increment patch has uses even if it's not ideal for the case I used it in

I've only just noticed, that stereo signals are actually represented in those I/O dot connections. If you have active panning going on, then you can see it when zoomed in close enough
