Patch Examples
Voltage Controlled Raga: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHf4q7pehtg
QCV -> VCO 1v/Oct. Wogglebug Woggle CV Out -> Rene X-CV.
Toggled Sequencing:
Pressure Points Gate 1 -> Rene X-MOD; Pressure Points Gate 2 -> Rene Y-MOD
Put Rene in Cartesian mode with two clocks of your choice in the clock inputs. Engage CLOCK AND MOD
on both X-FUN and Y-FUN pages. Rene will only sequence along each axis when the associated touchplate
is pressed.
Non-Linear Quantization: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnoFMimnK6s
With Rene in Snake Mode and no clock applied, patch positive-going (unipolar) CV signal (such as a cycling
function from MATHS or Function, or the Stepped Random out from Wogglebug) to X-CV. Choose
quantization values with individual panel controls, and scale with Q page. Adjust the X-CV input attenuator to
taste. Optional: switch snake patterns after each function cycle by patching EOC to Rene Y-CLK input.
“Arpeggiation” of a 4-step sequence:
MATHS Ch4/Function EOC -> X-Clk
MATHS Ch4/Function positive CV output -> YCV
Put Rene in Cartesian mode, engage cycling on MATHS/Function, and use the YCV input attenuator to
change the amount of “arpeggiation” on the Y-Axis. Adjust envelope rise and fall times, and especially
curve/response, to taste. For best results, tune each Y-axis column to a chord using the knobs and Q page.
Cogito Ergo Sum Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum Ergo Cogito: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aBjM08cndA
Patch Rene unquantized CV output into X-CV or (in Cartesian mode) Y-CV input. For best results, process
CV out with a MATHS or dynamically controlled VCA, and attenuate to taste at CV input. This feedback
patch will cause Rene to jump locations every time it sends a CV value much greater than zero. Many
nonlinear patterns await discovery. A “cluster” of higher CV values will cause extended sudden movement.
“Eddies” can be created by setting several adjacent knobs to low values. Different clock sources in the X and
Y clock inputs can create variation in the patterns. Optional: recall a stored sequence on the Q page to allow
constant reconfiguring of the knob settings for the feedback patch but with the same “melodic” values from
the QCV output.
Put Rene in Snake Mode and clock it with your choice of clock source. Mult clock to Wogglebug Clock Input.
Set Woggle Time to full CCW (0%), all other Wogglebug controls full CW.
Adjust XCV input attenuator slowly up from 0% until the Woggle out begins to destabilize the sequence,
adding embellishments. Adjust Woggle Time and Wogglebug Chaos Control (Clock/Slew) to taste. Optional:
send VCO output through an Optomix and strike it with one or both of Rene’s gate outputs and/or
Wogglebug Random Gate output.
