cluster-5 (2021-01-10)

100% generative patch driven by teletype.
#1 randomly select a note in C-minor, 20% of the time a note close to the the last note, 6% of the time a random note, the note is stored in variable A.
#2 might overwrite this note with a knob movement.
#3 randomly selects between three sets of chords that go with each note, and sends a random note from the chord to a three voice unit on the ER-301.

Controls:
TI.PRM 1: probability of the fm-perc to play.
TI.PRM 2: probability that a chord note will be played.
TI.PRM 3: probability that a new note is randomly selected
TI.PRM 4: overwrites the current note if knob is moved
PRM: jitter to M, CW: no jitter, CCW: max jitter
Joystick X: length of fm-perc (ER-301)
Joystick Y: brightness of chord notes (ER-301)

mom-series

My mom has trouble sleeping at night, so I'm putting together a series of ambient pieces for her to relax to.

mom 1

Four parts, selected by knob, each part has it's own pattern (0-3)
Each patterns contain notes, pattern 0 more basic (mostly octaves and 5ths), ranging to pattern 3, which contains more complex notes.

Metro script randomizes itself
Script 1-3 triggers one voice each on the ER-301
Script 8 stops

mom 2

Three chords (C, F, Dm) selected on knob
F6/F7 -/+ activity (0-100)
F8 Randomize pattern start and length

Pattern layout: Pattern 0: C-major chord
Pattern 1: F-major chord
Pattern 2: D-minor chord
rows 0-15: notes for soft bleep sound
rows 16-19: notes for strings

mom 3

Randomly select notes in a chord-like structure, knob determines probability that a note will play.

mom 4

Three voices each going through a series of notes in C-major, knob controls the number of voices playing

mom 5

10 partials from the overtone series on the er-301. Teletype radomizes gains and slews of those gain changes
