U-he Hardware - CVilization Eurorack Module

[Urs]

There are loads of ideas and little improvements for CVilization, but there is no schedule for those yet. We currently try to get more modules out and start to define our direction in modular.

Hey, thanks for the response! I both appreciate it and totally get what you're saying. CVilization updates asisd, it's equally exciting to hear about other steps into hardware, which I kind of think for U-he was always going to have to be modular format as, to me, the two defining characteristics of U-he's best-in-class catalogue has been audio fidelity and modularity.

On that tip: I know that CVilization is a DSP backed interface, which makes sense given your company's depth of software/dsp know-how, but I'd really love to see what you'd come up with for an all-analogue, yet still fully patch-programmable module, like a lot of the Joranalogue stuff.

have you seen/heard the new modules over in the uhe forum? the filter is to die/kill for

Gimme paaaarts!

daring oceans 11 type raid/heist in a chinese chip factory? im in!

[Urs]

Nah, we source locally where we can. But that has just become crazy expensive.

(on the positive side, Wiretap *is* in production... I guess one day we'll see the first hundred or so pop in to our headquarters)

[vurt]

cool!
least you're managing to get some bits done, as you say prices are such it's going to be difficult to price gear of any kind at the reasonable prices we've had recently.

[Urs]

Well, part of everything is trying to negotiate prices that are reasonable so that we won't pay on top when we keep pricing things as they were.

[vurt]

this is why you are the one in business and im not

I have a feature request for the Mucorder mode. This mode is great fun for jamming and generative patches and I think it would take things to the next level if we could change the sequences' lengths once recordings are looping. I have ideas how this might be implemented:

• Add a new mutation mode that changes the sequence length instead of mutating the recorded CV values

and/or

• Give us CV control of each loops' length as an alternative to the transposition CV control. Maybe we could turn the LE down by one tick for length control vs turning up one tick for transposition control?

I feel like those approaches are a natural fit for the CVilization workflow, but of course you may have better ideas about how to do it.

One complication is what to do when the sequence length is extended beyond the recorded length. There's multiple strategies for dealing with this like generating a random value, copying the previous value, defaulting to 0V, or sampling the input. It might be good to provide multiple options and make it configurable in the CVZ.ini file.

Thanks for considering it! Looking forward to what else you do in the Eurorack space. Alas, there is never enough HP.


BTW, in the User Guide there is a typo. On page 21 it says:

Transposition
During playback, the main inputs can be used to transpose sequences (pre-quantization).
Turn RE1-4 up one tick

That should be LE1-4. RE1-4 mutates.

That should be LE1-4. RE1-4 mutates.

Lol, we fixed that last October, but apparently we never uploaded the fixed user guide.

I'm back with more feature requests! I have a bunch of switches but none of them are CV-addressable (they are all clock driven). CV-addressable switching would be a welcome addition to CVilization.

I see two places it could work well:

• In Sequential Switch mode, when configuring CV-B, we could have the option to let it choose the step via CV rather than clocking it
• In Matrix Mixer mode, if we enable the Matrix Rotation advanced feature via CVZ.ini, give us another option to choose whether it smoothly fades (the current functionality) or discretely steps between the channels.
