Pittsburgh Lifeforms Percussion Sequencer Review Demo Tutorial Patches (All Features)

Описание: Pittsburgh Lifeforms Percussion Sequencer Review. Test Eurorack Trigger & Audio VCA Envelopes Sequencer. Modular Synth Sequencer with Four VCAs and Four Envelopes - Clickable Index in Description.

Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms Percussion Sequencer offers an original take on helping Eurorack Modular users creating and sequencing Eurorack Drums sounds. But looking at the specs this Lifeform sequencer should be able to offer 'sequencing' of more than just percussive patches.

The Percussion Sequencer eurorack module includes four VCAs and four Envelopes. It can be used to sequence audio signals and triggers to drive external patches.

Does it deliver as a creative sequencer tool?
Is it easy to use?
Does it work as a 'Performance' sequencer?

00:00 Module Introduction & Basic Specs

01:23 Mr Blue sending Messages asking about the Module

4:01 Percussion Sequencer Quick Info/Overview - No Sounds
What is it? And What is Not.
Audio Channels, VCAs, Envelopes
Sequencer, Tracks
Rhythm Effects xTrack & Global
Clock, Recording, Patterns, Mutes
4 Tracks Trigger Sequencer
4 Tracks Envelope Sequencer
Outputs and Mix Out

8:38 Starting with Examples
Creating a simple Analogue Drum Machine
Doepfer A-118 Coloured Noise to Doepfer SEM Filter
to Ch2 IN = Hats

Doepfer A-118 White Noise to Ch3 IN = Snare

Percussion Sequencer Envelope 1 to generate
a Kick

A pitched sound, Double Helix Oscillator Square Output
straight into Ch4 In on the Percussion Sequencer
12:17 Analogue Drum Kit ready, time for a short
Finger Drumming with our new Drum Kit.


12:35 Let’s look at Patterns & Pattern Groups
Pattern display
Play/Stop
Tap Tempo
Changing Patterns

14:40 Mute Channels and Percussive / Non-Percussive Sounds
plus Percussion Sequencer Envelopes as CV Modulation
Muting & Un-Muting
Internal Envelope for Kick on Track 1
Double Helix Oscillator ‘Pulse’ - Doepfer A-124 Wasp filter
Band Pass Out to Ch2: For a Non Percussive short/long Synth Voice
Doepfer A-118 Noise + Doepfer A-106-5 SEM Filter to Ch3: Snare
Double Helix Oscillator - Percussion Sequencer Ch4

All four voices - into the Erogenous Tones Levit8 Mixer

Using Envelopes as CV Modulation to CV Inputs on SEM and
Wasp Filter


19:37 Is it quick to use when changing patterns, adding effects,
changing pattern length per tracks, etc…?
Changing Pattern Length Globally
Changing Pattern Length Per Track
Switching between 1-16 and 17-32 ‘view’

25:00 Step Recording Mode
Step Recording one channel at the time

26:08 Live Performance Recording Mode
Live Recording all four channels at the same time
Quick switching between Step and Live Recording modes

28:48 Copy and Paste Patterns

29:32 Before moving on to Effects let’s
create a new patch “Using some of the Channels as TRIGGERS to sequence triggering of external modules”.
We will use this patch and patterns to apply Effects in next section
Envelope 1 to Trigger Hexinverter Mutant BassDrum

Envelope 2 to Trigger Hexinverter Mutant Snare

Envelope 3 to Trigger Mutable Instruments Branches
[which in turn triggers Analogue Solutions HH88 Dual HiHat]
H88 outputs go to Malekko Mix 4 then into Doepfer A-136 Distortion Waveshaper

We do not use the fourth Envelope as a Trigger.
Double Helix Oscillator - Doepfer Wasp Filter - Ch4 Audio Input on the Percussion Sequencer
But, we still make use of Envelope 4 sending it into the 1v/Oct input on the Double Helix Secondary Oscillator

34:09 Effects Global and Per Track
34:34 Swing as a Global Effect
36:09 Shift effect
36:59 Glitch effect
38:10 Density effect
39:01 Morph effect
40:39 Add/Drop effect

43:56 Auto Save

44:19 quick note: It’s not only for drums

45:15 Clock
Internal, Clock Out, Tap Tempo
External, Clock In, Clock Divisions

45:58 Wobbly Patch Play
Triggers Out to Kick, Snare Hats
Ch4 Synth Sound
Envelope 4 as CV Modulation over multiple modules
Emphasis CV on AJH Mega Phase 12
CV Control of Pico DSP Effect applied to Snare
1v/Oct of Synth Sound
Overall Sequencing
