I have a few ideas for musical, creative Eurorack modules, and this is the first I'm going to attempt to make.
Rice or Dice takes a trigger/gate and spits out 16 triggers, randomly falling within a chosen duration (i.e., a bar), at a chosen quantisation and spread.
CV and knob for 'tempo' but it can derive this from the input
CV and knob for 'quantise', 2 - 64
CV and knob for 'spread', whi* finish later
The concept currently runs on Pure Data, using osculator and midi to trigger VCVRack and Reaper.
One serious potential setback is that I do not own any modular synths.
*** tldr im going to mock it up with hardware and a raspberry pi, basically
Current status is a Pure Data patch that triggers VCVRack and Reaper via midi.
What I think I know: I reckon I can get it running on a Pi headless, I've done a little with these. The digital outputs are 3v which is fine for Eurorack triggers. I'll need a little case for it as I don't have any Eurorack myself (I'll return to this glaring issue later).
Next milestone is Raspberry Pi or similar in a Eurorack hardware case that can trigger the same.
But when I type this, I realise that the unit will therefore need a midi output, which sort of defeats the point of putting in a hardware case.
I will return to this too.
This is only the first log. Over the next couple of days I'll link my actual research into it
