Pulses | Qu-Bit Pulsar, Chord, Chance

Focusing on three modules from Qu-Bit Electronix -- the Pulsar, Chord, and Chance.
A detailed patch walkthrough will be featured on Qu-Bit's Instagram Story -- follow @qubitelectronix and @gregwht for more.

Patch Notes
∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿
∿Swirling Pad∿
Chord mix out going into Clouds Input R. Since I'm only taking the Output L from Clouds, the Chord mix is only heard when the blend knob is turned clockwise and the signal becomes wet -- otherwise, only the Plucky Melodies can be heard. Chance's Discrete output is controlling the Chord Inversion, while the Blend output is controlling the Waveform. A gate from Pamela's New Workout toggles the Chord's voicing between Close and Spread. Chance's waveform output is controlling Clouds' Size parameter.
∿Plucky Melodies~
Chord's Root, 3rd, 5th, and 7th outputs. Root and 7th going to LxD's 6dB and 12dB filters respectively before being sent to Tangle Quartet, whereas the 3rd and 5th go straight to Tangle Quartet. All are plucked/struck by Pulsar outputs 1-4, with each channel in Euclidean rhythms mode. The Smooth output from Chance is going into Pulsar's Mode input, rotating the rhythms. The mix from Tangle Quartet is going into Clouds Input L, to be mixed with Swirling Pad.
∿Morphing Bass / Kick∿
STO variable-shape wave straight to uJack. Pitch is controlled by Ornament + Crime, and Shape by the multed Blend output from Chance. A gate is being sent to the Lin input, so turning the corresponding knob clockwise morphs the STO between a static bass sound and a pulsing kick drum.

Don’t know how this only has 800 views. Just started researching modular/watching videos and this has been my favorite so far. I love how musical it is.

[@WhiteNoises]

+Matthew Penfound Thank you Matthew! That means a lot 🙏🏻 welcome to the rabbit hole haha

[@NegativeFeedback]

This one is NICE

[@WhiteNoises]

+NegativeFeedback thank you my brother! 🙏🏻💕

[@motoboy6666]

This is so sweet, miss your videos!

[@kbowman0016]

I have Pulsar being shipped next week, so I thought get inspired by watching some more of your videos,. This patch is so, so good! Thanks for sharing. Now make more videos damnit!

[@stephanmobius1380]

Look mom No maths! ... This is sooo goood.

[@gregorio98000]

Super nice, thanks for sharing

[@MatheusLeston]

amazing stuff, man!

[@apparently_sonam]

Sooo Good!

[@DarkuJ]

So good!

[@PatrickOBrien]

EXCELLENT patch.

[@WhiteNoises]

+Patrick OBrien thank you!!

[@Haelu786]

very nice

[@dualtrx]

Good job.

[@motoboy6666]

Damn this was sweet

[@SuperPedalhead]

Nice one! Would love to see a more detailed Pulsar overview if time allows.

[@WhiteNoises]

+SuperPedalhead thanks! Got another Pulsar video coming soon

[@ComparativeIrrelevance]

You're on a roll, man! Loving the STO in this one. What kind of modulation are you sending to the shape input? Is it in time with the "kick drum FM"?

[@WhiteNoises]

Thanks man!! The shape modulation is the smooth output from Chance, which is multed out and also controlling Chord's waveform parameter. It's just using Chance's internal clock, so not synced to the kick drum at all, but means that both the Chord and STO get brighter/duller at the same time.

[@ComparativeIrrelevance]

Yeah, I can hear it now. Very cool patch!

[@elm_assembly]

very late to this one, but it's gorgeous. what do you think about the pulsar vs. turing machine in terms of playability and generation?

[@jodo985]

@small assassin So what did you get?

[@albertomarmi2499]

great work
even if are graduate in elettronics i barely understard the wiring.😀
too much complicated :)

[@WhiteNoises]

Haha thank you! You would definitely understand if you got a chance to sit down with it and have a play 😁

[@albertomarmi2499]

software version? how to learn without burn nothing.:P

[@WhiteNoises]

You're in luck! This was released recently: vcvrack.com

[@albertomarmi2499]

simply the best :)
thanks :D

[@lasideasfugazes]

Hi!
Are pulsar and chance very different modules?
I see you're using both on this patch. Can you tell more or less what's each doing?
Thank you!

[@edoardofacciotto7261]

Chords vs Akemie's Castle?

[@WhiteNoises]

Very different modules -- I love Chord, haven't played about that much with Akemie's Castle but have heard great things.

[@edoardofacciotto7261]

White Noises I'm asking myself if chords in Akemie's are good enough to not regret not had bought a QuBit Chords... I love the tremendous amount of possibilities in FM synthesis but I would also love to have chords...

[@elvishopper4495]

let me know.. im currently deciding between the two as well....

[@edoardofacciotto7261]

Elvis Hopper what will you do? Have you seen some new module from superbooth that can compete with this two?

[@elvishopper4495]

edoardo facciotto no I haven't!

[@Logotic]

Just by chance, I was playing this as the winner of the US Presidential election was declared. And it sounds about right.
