Results not quite what I imagined when reading the text about it - anyone know what's going on with it?

Haven't played with it previously but have since your post.
Connected various sound sources to A and cv into 1,2,3
From what I can determine is input 1 speeds up the output and pitch gets higher. maybe due to splitting into 16 diff step widths.
input 2 does seems to slow down A as indicated
input 3 does manipulate the output but can't determine whether its reversing.
seemed to get more clearer results when using output D
Interesting noises coming from it though my fav was using the solina through it and out D to sound like some sort of tape loop but again not sure what's going on.

Yeah, we're on similar pages, though I hadn't thought to try the d out.
I know it's only an 8bit processor but I suppose I was hoping for a little more in the buffer - it's so short I can't really tell what's happening with reversing/playback.
It's quite a fun source of glitch though - I started off running a drum loop through it but probably had more fun sending it an algodrone.

yes it does read a little more promising, its intrigued me now to see what can be done with it.
I thought connecting it to the meter and zooming in would help but still can't determine anything.
Using both outputs along with the original through different faders especially with Solina was pretty cool.
I hadn't used Algodrone with it so think I'll go do that now.

Unless it can be bent to record a longer buffer I suppose id think of it as a kind of randomised butcrusher, making another glitchy sound source variation from what it's fed. Maybe I'll try the 8bit multifx and decide which I might use more...

I should try the 8bit multifx. Have ignored it since receiving the multifx module. it might add some character.
I guess it would add to the glitch rather than randomise more glitch.

Hello there,
I tried my Grains and the volume is very low compared to the 2OSC/d has anyone else experienced this? I've tried it through the 4 channel mono mixer and the mix console but no difference.
I'd be grateful for any advice.
Cheers
PS has anyone had to make an amplifier to use it I've got some MCP602's and LM358 so could make a small amp.

Is it the same after reloading/trying a different firmware? I had a (very) low out on mine once and it just required a reflash.

Hello tIB, Sadly I have no idea how to do the above, well, not at the moment anyway. Perhaps you would be good enough to point me in the right direction to be able to begin to accomplish it. I have a PC with Win10 that I assembled myself if that's any help. Cheers |

You got the right port selected in the drop-down?

You got the right port selected in the drop-down? Hello, It did say it couldn't find COM1 and above that find another port so I clicked on that and then it started the upload. Mystified? Well then it downloaded some updates amongst them something to do with USB went to fast to see anymore. But made no difference still came up with COM1. Stubborn little bit of software innit! I'll keep bashing away at it, you never know. Cheers [edit] Just a thought I've taken the Grains module to my PC so no power to it so I assumed that the power from the PC USB would be present, am I right? |

Think it needs to be powered in the case. Not sure about the other post - I can't remember what you have to select port wise but there was something to do there, maybe just selecting the right Arduino?

Not sure about the other post - I can't remember what you have to select port wise but there was something to do there, maybe just selecting the right Arduino? Hello tIB, Many thanks for your help you're quite right the module does need to be powered up, then the Arduino finds COM3 and that works perfectly in fact when changing the program which just takes seconds I can hear the sound altering. Hooray :-) I tried the West Coast one and JGB-Wavegrains one. Sadly the volume is just as bad, in the Mixer 4-4 with the volume right up I can hear it, patch in an OSC and at about 20% volume it obliterates the Grains. So back to my original question, "Why is it just so quiet"Has anyone else had this problem or does the module amplifying? I would be very grateful for some help on this. Cheers |

Hi,
The module is just quieter than other modules. You can use the SIGNALAMP module to give it a boost.

Hello there admin , Thanks for that good of you. I hoped it might be that, I'll breadboard something up to see what I need, something with an adjustable gain. Cheers [edit] I found a SignalAmp on Juno at a very good price so I bought one, I also reloaded the West Coast OSC firmware I think its quite beautiful. |

Ah,sorry - seems it's a known issue then. At least you got the firmware loading sorted!

Hello tIB, No need to apologise I'm so pleased to be able to program it so easily, I think it's going to be a real asset. Next one to try is the WaveTables I'm looking forward to that and others I've bought. I like to add them one at a time find out how they work before going on to the next one. Cheers and thanks |
