CellF at Mofo in January 2017
Don't forget to head south to Tasmania in late January to see cellF running for 3 days at the Mofo festival. Each day cellf will perform with a different musician (to be announced). All the synth and neural interface designs are by nonlinearcircuits - 100% analogue.

Wangernumb
Wangernumb is
3 modules in one...or 4. If you use the Track input, the phase lock
loop acts as a frequency tracker. The VCO Range Cv input and filter pot
will determine how well, or more accurately, how poorly it will track.
You also get 12 divisions of the tracking
signal, right down to divide by 4096. If you use the Roulette input, it
will generate semi-random selections of outputs when the input signal
is high....or it is a burst generator and you can control the frequency
of the bursts with the VCO CV input. If you use the Divide input, you
have a 12 stage clock divider, down to 1/4096. In this case you can use
the PLL tracker section as a separate and independent module and just
get it to generate squelchy, burpy noises.

ROUTER
PCB - US$18
Panel - US$20
assembled US$160
The Router was developed to use
in the cellF neural synthesizer at MoNA’s Mofo exhibition in Jan 2017. As cellF
would be left running for 6-8 hours per day, we wanted a module to periodically
switch around the CV signals to create new patches.
The Router pots can be used as
switches, 0 is off and 10 is on. At these settings the switches will ignore
incoming CV or gate signals. For the switching to be controlled by CV or gates,
set the pots to an appropriate turn-on point.
Some notes:
Input 1 is internally connected
to the switches on jacks 2, 3 & 4.
CV 1&2 is internally
connected to the switch on the CV 3&4 jack.
The signals to the OUT ALL jack
are summed together, as more than one signal can be on at a time; this is the
safest way to merge them.
The Router can deliver 1
into 4, 4 into 4 and 4 into 1 at the same time, 2x 2 into 2 and, with a simple
mod the PCB, 2x 1 into 2 Wangernumb revisited
This has taken a while to get to a point that I am happy with, vers5 PCB even.
Track input gives you a very badly behaved frequency tracker, along with 12 divisions of the tracker's output frequency. It performs particularly poorly when you start CV-ing the Range input, which puts a vactrol in charge of the PLLs frequency range.
Roulette input wants a CV or gate and makes the module behave like an electronic roulette wheel. When the CV or gate is high the outputs spin and halt when the input signal returns to zero, giving a random combination of gates, plus a series of bursts whilst it is spinning. The rate of spin can be controlled by the range pot and the range CV input.
Divide disconnects the PLL from the 12 stage outputs and simply acts as a 12 stage frequency divider, going down to 1/4096. The PLL can be used as a separate module when the divider is used, so you get a raucous PLL VCO that is barely controlled by CV.
