Mylar Melodies Random8

RANDOM8 is an eight channel random voltage generator, with dedicated per–channel looping controls, in just 8HP.

It’s our first collaboration with our m8 Mylar Melodies. It is born of his desire to better improvise music on modular systems, and is the module he has often wished he had in his live performance cases. 

It is a pitch sequencer, a CV animator, an invisible pair of hands, and an LFO.

RANDOM8 is designed to bring any sized eurorack system to life, to squeeze the most out of users other modules, and help people perform and jam music more easily. It can provide subtle yet essential per-step CV modulation to an entire system, allowing phrases to play for longer without the ear tiring of them. It can also be configured to provide up to 8 quantised pitch generators (or any combination of pitch and modulation at the same time) and so drive a bank of oscillators and provide the melodies for a whole system.

Features

• 8 channels of random looping CV generation in 8HP.
• Cycle between looping and evolving voltages with a single button press. Double click to return to random.
• Pitch quantiser per channel with 16 options (1 unquantised, 14 scales, 1V octave scale).
• Looped phrases can have step length from 1-32
• Cascading normalised triggers to create groups of voltages.
• Input trigger divider per channel, letting 1-8 triggers advance each step.
• Slide for creation of LFOs, slow evolving voltages and acid lines.
• Offset to raise voltage range and ‘clip’ voltages to the ceiling.
• 8 preset locations to save and recall entire module state.
• Simple one-layer menu system designed by someone who dislikes menu systems.
• Distinct and considered LED colours in menus aid with visualising settings.
• Long press buttons to reset channels or whole module conveniently.
• Per channel probability to make voltage changes less frequent.
