DESCRIPTION

This entry is the central place where you can find patches made with KNBSTRB8 Blocks.

Version 2.0

The patches that were posted up to version 1.5 have been replaced with 6 new patches consisting out of blocks coming from the KNBSTRB8 Collection version 1.5 update. The 1.5 version update for the collection brought functionality upgrades for many earlier released blocks that were used in the version 1.0 - 1.5 patches released under this post. Instead of re-releasing the existing patches with updated blocks, I posted the following 6 new ones (3 synthesizers and 3 generative patches) instead.

FM DUO playable synth

Synthesizer with 4 voices that is played from the MIDI host. This patch looks like the 3 OSC and 1 VCA patch from version 1.

Voices (MOD - VCA Squad):
VCA 1: OSC - FM DUO, Main Oscillator (MOD - AD Squad, AD 1)
VCA 2: OSC - FM DUO, Sub Oscillator (MOD - AD Squad, AD 2)
VCA 3: OSC - FM DUO, Noise mix (MOD - AD Squad, AD 3)
VCA 4: OSC - FM DUO, FM mix (MOD - AD Squad, AD 4)

The 4 VCA's are triggered by MOD - ADSR.

Modulation:
Mod A: MOD - LFO DUO.
Mod B: MOD - ADSR. Exceptions: INT - P&G gets Mod B input from PRO - RNG for modulation of the velocity knob (random velocity when INT is selected). MOD - LFO DUO, MOD - VCA squad and MOD - ADSR get Mod B input from PRO - RNG as well.

FLD playable synth

Synthesizer with a fold oscillator, a FM and AM operator that is played from the MIDI host. This patch looks like the FM AM Fold patch from version 1.

Modulation:
Mod A: MOD - LFO DUO.
Mod B: MOD - ADSR

AM 1 in: OSC - FM OP
AM 2 in: OSC - FLD Sine

PLS SAW DUO playable synth

Stereo synthesizer with a unison detunable pulse / saw oscillator and a stereo LFO that modulates the independent filters for the left and right channel. Played from the MIDI host.

Modulation:
MOD - LFO ST left LFO provides Mod A to FLT - TSK DUO. Filter 1 of FLT - TSK DUO goes to the left output. MOD - LFO ST right LFO provides Mod B to FLT - TSK DUO. Filter 2 of FLT - TSK DUO goes to the right output.

Mod A: MOD - LFO MW
MOD B: MOD - ADSR. MOD - ADSR, MOD - LFO ST and AMP - VCA SAT get Mod B input from MOD - LFO MW (LFMO output).

Noisy rhythms

A generative noise (2 noise generators) percussion patch with 4 channels that are triggered with 2x8 gate inputs.

Voices(MOD - VCA Squad):
VCA 1: NZ 1 and 2, triggered by OUT A from CV SEL 1 and 2 (MOD - AD Squad, AD 1)
VCA 2: NZ 1 and 2, triggered by OUT B from CV SEL 1 and 2 (MOD - AD Squad, AD 2)
VCA 3: NZ 3 and 4, triggered by OUT A from CV SEL 3 and 4 (MOD - AD Squad, AD 3)
VCA 4: NZ 3 and 4, triggered by OUT B from CV SEL 3 and 4 (MOD - AD Squad, AD 4)

Gates:
MOD - LFO RNG gets gate input from INT - MIDI M8 (Clock gate)

CV SEL 1 and 2 OUT A & OUT B: G1-G8 gate outputs from MOD - LFO RNG
CV SEL 3 and 4 OUT A & OUT B:
1: INT - MIDI M8, CD G1
2: INT - MIDI M8, CD G2
3: INT - MIDI M8, CD G3
4: INT - MIDI M8, CD G4
5: INT - MIDI M8, P1
6: INT - MIDI M8, P1 (NOT Gate)
7: INT - MIDI M8, P2
8: INT - MIDI M8, P2 (NOT Gate)

Modulation:
Mod A: MOD - LFO Sync
MOD B: MOD - LFO RNG. Turing machine random output except CV SEL 1 and 2, CV SEL 3 and 4 and MOD - LFO Sync (Turing machine sequencer position output). MOD - LFO RNG gets Mod B input from INT MIDI M8, MIDI Gate.

Turing P&G melody improv

A generative patch that creates 8 pitch and 8 gate streams by SEQ - Turing P&G (a Turing machine with integrated pitch quantizer). The pitch and gate stream can be independently selected from each other before they are sent to OSC - PLS SAW DUO (Mono). SEQ - Turing P&G gets a gate from INT - CLK Sync. The integrated pitch Quantizer (PQ)receives next to the Turing machine output the output from MOD - LFO Sync (In A: LFO 1, In B: LFO 2). They can be crossfaded with the X knob when the PQ is selected. MIX - CV SEL selects the pitch and gate stream. PRO - S&H is there to chop the selected pitch stream in line with the selected gate stream before they are sent to the oscillator and envelope.

MIX - CV SEL:
OUT A: SEQ - Turing P&G Gates G1-G8
OUT B: SEQ - Turing P&G Pitch P1-P8

Modulation:
Mod A: MOD - LFO Sync. The LFO gets Mod A (Turing random output) and B (Turing sequencer position) from SEQ - Turing P&G
Mod B: MOD - AHD. MIX CV SEL and AMP - VCA SAT get the Turing random number as Mod B input.

Arpegg 18R

A 4 voice generative patch containing a 8 step sequencer, a Turing machine and 8 gate in / 8 gate out selector. The SEQ - 8 STP and MOD - LFO RNG are triggered with a gate selected with MIX - CV SEL (OUT A). The gate for the SEQ - PQ and MOD - AD Squad are selected with MIX - CV SEL (OUT B).

MIX - CV SEL:
OUT A: Gate in for SEQ - 8 STP and MOD - LFO RNG
OUT B: Gate in for SEQ - PQ and MOD - AD Squad.
1: INT - MIDI M8, MIDI Gate
2: INT - MIDI M8, Clock Gate
3: INT - MIDI M8, P1
4: INT - MIDI M8, P1 (NOT Gate)
5: INT - MIDI M8, CD G1
6: INT - MIDI M8, CD G2
7: INT - MIDI M8, CD G3
8: INT - MIDI M8, CD G4

SEQ - PQ has 4 inputs:
In A: SEQ - 8 STP
In B: MOD - LFO RNG
In C: MOD - LFO Sync, LFO 1
In D: MOD - LFO Sync, LFO 2

Voices (MOD - VCA Squad):
VCA 1: OSC - FM DUO, Main Oscillator (MOD - AD Squad, AD 1)
VCA 2: OSC - FM DUO, Sub Oscillator (MOD - AD Squad, AD 2)
VCA 3: OSC - FM DUO, Noise mix (MOD - AD Squad, AD 3)
VCA 4: OSC - FM DUO, FM mix (MOD - AD Squad, AD 4)

Modulation:
Mod A: MOD - LFO Sync
Mod B: MOD - LFO RNG. OSC - FM DUO and FLT - TSK get Mod B from MOD - AD Squad, AD 1. MOD - LFO RNG gets Mod B from INT - MIDI M8, MIDI Gate.
