Maths – Analog Computing on Audio Rate Signals – System Cartesian
We all know (and probably own) the top 3 module in eurorack: Maths. It can do LFO’s and envelopes, it can slew incoming voltage to create portamento and lag, it can attentuvert and mix, it can make sound on its ow, it can trigger things and the list goes on and on and on. But there’s one great feature you don’t see often, which is mutating incoming audio with ‘binary’ logic.
I’ve been using the System Cartesian for this patch, with STO and TelHarmonic as the main sources. We all have a pretty good idea how they sound, but running them through Maths can help you discover a whole new range of sounds. This obviously works on any case with Maths in it, so happy hunting for accidents!
Note: the painted Telharmonic is my ‘black magic’ method to move the Universe into finding a real one – enjoy the module as if you have one and trust it will come your way. I have a real one now :).

In MakeNoise’s latest Maths ‘bouncing ball’ video, Tony Rolando spoke about a patch you could start with one button/trigger and would then play a ‘song’ by itself. Aleatoric Music.

Today I also uploaded a new Rings into Clouds video to create another magical forest. But I can imagine you’re not into that, and prefer a darker ambient setting. So in tandem, I created this Mysteron video, which was introduced a year before Rings came out. Both Rings and Mysteron use roughly the same technique of striking a delay line. With Rings, the delay is filtered and shaped into beautiful sounds. With Mysteron, the delay sounds like a raw heavy metal feast. A lot has changed since Mysteron came out, there are many new effect modules that can make it sound totally 2021.
The Mysteron is a discontinued module but you may be able to find one 2nd hand (hopefully fair priced). I’ve included a link to a shared system tutorial where I tried to do Karplus Strong Synthesis with the Echophon delay.
