Performance // Granular [Tetra] Grid // Instruōctional Patching

This patch is broken down in depth in my next Instruōctional Patching video which can be found here:
• Granular [Tetra] Grid ...
This is a performance recording of a patch I created while experimenting with The Tetragrid from Manifold Research Centre.
There are several patching techniques used that I have been experimenting with lately that lend themselves well to harmonic patching as well as much more experimental compositions.
Core Techniques:
• Chaotic cross modulation with magnets (Hail the donut)
• Complex circular FM tones from Cš-L
• Rhythmic gating over index ratios, wavefold depth and signal amplitudes
• Granular/reverberant spatialisation using arbhar
• TZFM as tone generator and processor simultaneously
• Harmonic chord voice using Harmonàig/Saïch
The composition is much more aggressive and textural than my usual. Too much caffeine perhaps… or not enough?
I built the patch to be very hands on and immediate for manipulating the voices. The Tetragrid allows for a wonderfully chaotic interaction between its 6 modulation sources. At times things can stabilise and produce musical ostinatos but simply touching the interface will quickly mix up the patterns.
The algorithms defining the cross modulation in both the instances of audio sources and control generators are circular in nature and with dynamic influence over their ratios. They produce very diverse ranges of complex tones and patterns that can naturally stabilise.
A full written breakdown of the patch and access to the patchnotes can be found on the Learning/Patching page on Instruō website:

fantastic sound. and love the video overlays

[@noahtotten]

Whoever does your design, graphic animation stuff is top notch.

[@instruo]

Thank you!!
It’s all been trial and error to be honest 😂
The main graphic overlays are just a Timelapse of my patch notes as I was documenting the patch

[@maxmaleo581]

the ending with destroyed saich is just amazing !

[@uvfactory]

Wicked!

[@HAntonRiehl]

Very cool patch! Can't wait to see the breakdown!! And yeah... now I want that Tetragrid... haha

[@jfracine_composition]

That's what's up.

I shifted from a full Ciat lonbarde rig to eurorack & made my own wonky sequencer but it's great to see Peter's Rollz circuits appearing in eurorack.

What made you switch from CL to euro?

Super crazy and interesting.

Sounds like a really expensive and complicated way of reproducing the sound of pots and pans filled with dried peas and mice falling down the stairs. Looks cool, mind. And I'd definitely buy whatever it is if I had the money.

[@instruo]

I’d absolutely go to a performance using pots, pans and dried peas!
The animal abuse you suggest is a little far for my taste… but to each their own! 😉

Cool! Enjoy your vids!

[@talimn]

This module (tetragrid) has been an absolute game changer for me. Glad to see it getting some use from Jason.

[@corydkiser]

This is really well produced!

[@instruo]

Thanks!! ☺️
I feel I’ve finally got the rig and process dialled in now.
Now the work is entirely just the patching for future videos.

Beautiful

what sorcery is this!?
