SC + Eurorack + tablas, July 25, Shanghai

Finally got the recorded media from this show. Here’s just a short clip while we figure out what to do with the full recording.

I’m live coding; my former student is playing Eurorack (receiving 16th-note clock pulses from me for sync – I was also generating downbeat “reset” pulses but he wasn’t using them).

This clip near the beginning went a bit Riley - Reich-y.

Sounds nice!

Im kind of curious about the exact setup.
How is the eurorack-SC connection made?
Is it Audio or CV? Pulses just with Impulse.ar or something else?

Greetings

We ran a cv cable from my soundcard’s third output. The soundcard, of course, doesn’t care about audio or cv. On the Eurorack side, clock pulses are generally CVs I think.

Clocks in modular are usually rectangular pulses, not Dirac impulses, so I used LFPulse. I create a new synth every beat, so that there’s no drift between language and server timing. (The soundcard’s sample clock isn’t guaranteed to stay in exact sync with the OS clock.)

It worked well – in places where we’re both playing pulsed material, it’s hard to tell who is doing what.
