Thanks! The tempera is a magical machine!

My own, I guess. Each track of Tempera is a sin wave. I modulate the frequency such that each cell is ten Hz apart. I start at 55 Hz in the top, left cell, and end at 55+63*10= 685 Hz in the bottom right. The first four tracks are static pitches, and there's some gliss in the last four for variation. But then, I've set each to 55Hz (A0) in Tempera, and I'm playing it up and down the keyboard, so they're being scaled anyway. If I play A0, they sound at original pitch, if I play A1, they'll all be an octave up. Oh, and the emitter is being modulated up and down the canvas with a couple of free-running LFOs. Haha!

I’ve been scheming microtonal with tempera, eurorack spectral oscillators; found that instruo disting ex can deal with scala… just today reeducating myself with microtonal. Imagining sample patterns that end up making chord like overlays. Other audio sources, apps in iOS let’s say may pass microtonal audio. My interest is on overlays that get used with spoken audio

Thanks for the detail report

Oscillators for spectral in my survey; buchla tiptop 259t, make noise oscillators; cloud recorders morphagene, … etc’; koala app as a flexible sample prep tool, saving button samples to files that may be used in tempera

Do your use a frequency pedal or analysis to check your sample tuning?

Thanks!

I'm... relieved. 😁 And glad you laughed! Thanks again!

Hi

Not sure it needs a video. Use a multitrack sequencer on One. Set the scale to chromatic, the root note to C1, and your MIDI channel to taste. On your LXR-02, on the second page of "mix" settings for each voice there is a MIDI channel and note setting. Set each voice to the same MIDI channel as your multitrack sequencer, and the note for each of them respectively: C3-C#3-D3-D#3-E3-F3-F#3. The first seven tracks of your multitrack sequencer should now be controlling each voice of the LXR-02. You've even got the eighth track left over to control a separate monosynth or something. LXR-02 (counterintuitively?) saves the MIDI settings with the project rather than the kit, so be sure to save your project if you want the settings to stick next time you cycle the power. The upside is that you can now control any of the kits in that project with the same setup and you don't have to edit voice MIDI channel and note settings anymore. I have no idea why C1 on One = C3 on LXR-02, but I've encountered this sort of thing with other devices. I guess not everyone agrees on MIDI note naming conventions. If C1 = C3 doesn't work for you, just run a pattern and keep changing the root note of the multitrack sequencer until the LXR-02 starts playing. Maybe it does warrant a video. Haha!

@@Underwaterbob thank you for the description. It took me a while but I figured it out.

Thanks! And especially thanks for the instrument for making it possible.

Thanks!

Thank you! Too bad you decided against it. It really is an amazing device. Doesn't have to be for everyone though.

Thanks!

Thanks!

It's a POS (Point of Sales) VESA mount. Intended for a touch screen cash register. You can find them just about anywhere that sells that sort of thing online.

Haha! Thanks!

Will do!

Haha! It's an easy one to want. Highly recommended.

I have! 2.0 is amazing. Ten modulators makes a big difference. Tempera is the most inspirational knobby box on my desk by far!

Not really. Just made sure each word started at 0s, 1s, etc. in each track. Each track is exactly 8s long, so each word lines up with each cell perfectly. I used a text to speech website, Audacity, and Csound, but there are any number of ways you could accomplish it.

I used a different kind of synthesis for each track. Wave folding, FM, a few different physical models, subtractive, resonant filters over noise, and phase modulation. They are all mostly in tune. Emitters 2-4 are offset to center with lots of spray and have different length and density settings to provide accents to emitter 1 which is offset to center and has its X and Y sprays and density modulated so it's "breathing" in and out. This is the Jackson Pollack method I suppose. Just splatter stuff everywhere and see what works. Haha!

Haha! Thanks. You're right, though. Time to step back and make it about the sounds again. Treating the tempera like a display is fun, though!
