Asymmetric pattern and shape studies with a (slightly Modded) Cadet system.

In this topic I will post diverse patches that explore complex shapes and patterns.

Applied Mods:

  1. Square output on the VCO
  2. Greyscale on the Encoder (normalised jacks)

If you don’t have this Squarewave Mod, you can get a squarewave by using a Hard Key Generator on the VCO triangle output.
The Greyscale mod is not vital to this patch, although it will accentuate the feedback.
By patching the output to all three inputs of the Encoder, you get the same result.

This first patch uses 4 VCO’s through Faders to create an interesting gradient for the Key Generator.
There is some feedback from the Hard Key Generator to the Fader CV input to get those feathery lines at the edges of the shapes. The squarewave output (orange patchcable) adds the thin lines, being patched to the CV input of the second Fader. I use the Processor output to get to lower frequencies of the VCO and as a mixer for the final output.
Experiment with all knob and switch positions for all kinds of interesting varieties of shapes and patterns. I’ll post a video later!

note: the switch positions of the modulating VCO might be incorrect in this picture (I have custom panels)
