Evolving out-of-sync pattern from LFO

Bento Box LFO’s output is being recorded as pattern of 16 values by L-Record block. Values are further scaled/offset and attenuated by Range block and quantized by Readout. From Readout they are sent through Link connection (orange color) to 2 Track modules. Momentary values coming from Tracks are used as pitch information (violet color connection) for MIDI Note Out blocks sending out notes on two different MIDI channels (1 and 2).

Two, slightly ”detuned” (De-Sync knob) Sync Clock blocks are used to advance through values in Track blocks and to generate gates signal by sending triggers to Sync Gate x4 block.

First Clock is also used to randomly retrigger the LFO recording process. Clock signal from 1x output is sent to RND input of Position block below. Every time second position is activated, Clock Router block is reset (RST input) and 16 tiggers are sent out from its upper CLK output to L-Record’s CLK input, causing value present at REC input (coming from LFO) being written to the current position.

Bento Box S&H block is used to modulate the LFO rate and is clocked/gated from the same second output of Position block as Clock Router (used to restart the value recording process).

Output labelled 5-8 from Position block is used to trigger auxiliary notes on MIDI channel 2 (MIDI Note Out block in the lower right corner). As trigger signal is connected to RND input of Sync Gate block, note duration is random (with maximum set by Divider value). Pitch is calculated by Quant Transpose block – 3 degrees above note value coming out of first Track block.

Track block on the right side is used to alter velocity of first MIDI Note block by modulating Vel Sens parameter.

Scale used to quantise all outputs is defined by Scale block next to LFO and is being masked (some notes are removed, root note is always preserved) by recorded values (Link connection from Record block). Quant Transpose block is however ignoring the masking as it is receiving scale information from SCALE (FULL) output.
