Here is the last tutorial video for these two modules in combinational use. The 962 switch was designed to work with the 960 module. Here is the demonstration how to connect and how to play.
Your presentation is suspenseful! Love your intro, it feels like ready to blast off. ❤🎉 You slowly attach the cables and my anxiety turns up a notch. Thank u, great work!
@@friesiamans1966 I wouldn't know. I have DAW software but have never ever tried to link it to my modular other than through a stereo audio cable. I've only ever used it as a multitrack recorder whilst I'm looking for a decent hardware recorder, so far without success. I'd check out your DAW manual.
@@and7barton okies, thanx for letting me know - well, i will see what i can do... is there any place where i can hear your music? a friend is making a bandcamp site for me - i´m a musician for a long time already, but now i will upload some stuff for the first time... :-)
@UCGhe2lq8Vmuvf73ysANtDOQ I'm still enjoying learning about my 960 sequencer (actually, I've now got THREE of them !) - but there's one thing that's so far eluded me - How to programme a REST into a sequence. The original Moog 960 had a 4th click available (unlabelled), on each skip/normal/stop control which apparently, would make it pass through that channel but not trigger anything, but the Behringer doesn't have this feature I'm sure there must be a way of doing this, but has anyone any advice on this issue ? - Thanks.
Hello @Penishead ! Thanks for you explication ! I want to synchronize my Elektron AR mk2 to the system 55, i use the CM1A Midi IN to the Midi OUT, and cable to the trig CM1A with the shift of the sequencer 960, do you think it's correct ?
@@penishead_official Hello Penishead ! I have ask the question to as user of System55, here is his answer : "The CM1A will not convert a MIDI clock into a trigger. You would have to have a sequence of notes sent via MIDI (the rytm should be able to do that) and use the trigger output as a clock. Also, to do this you would have to configure at least one of the trigger outputs as a V-trigger. An S-trigger will not "shift" the sequence (unless you convert it to a V-trigger via the 961 Interface module."
I've solved the issue of putting a rest into a sequence - Use a 962 switcher to switch the gate signals instead of a CV. The switcher can be switched from say, No 1 (which is connected to a gate input on a synth), using an output from one of the SET sockets, onto No 2 which remains unconnected to anything. Then a subsequent SET socket is used to switch the 962 back to No 1.
So you are sending a trigger from something to the shift input of the 960, then via a stackcable, through to the Loudness Contour gate input of the Model D ? Is the trigger a simple gate pulse for every step of the 960, or a clock signal?
There's a number of different kinds of triggering pulse you can use. It's a question I think of the speed of the front of the wave and the voltage of it. A short pulse from a trigger button, or a clock pulse, or even an audio signal if the front of the wave is steep enough (coming from an LFO if the frequency is low enough), to be seen as a pulse.
I have three 960's. I want to link them together so they run in sync. There would be a master 960, and one or two slave 960s. I tried patching the Oscillator Output of the master unit to the Shift socket (bottom right corner) of a Slave and they drive along nicely together, driven by the Oscillator of the Master; but there's a problem - Even though I press the "Set" button on both the Master and the Slave unit, to set them both to channel 1, when I kick off the Master unit, the Slave unit is always one step behind the Master. This can be corrected by pre-setting them one step out, but this is a pest. Is there any way of starting them off so they kick off at the same point ?
@@penishead_official I tried connecting each channel output on the Master, to the matching channel input on the Slave, so each master channel triggers the corresponding slave's channel, but this results in having 8 patch leads running from the Master to the Slave, getting in the way of everything. It does though, give us one-for-one triggering of the channels. It would be neater to have just one or two leads connecting them. I want to get everything properly sync'd up to give myself what would effectively be a big 6 track sequencer (using all three rows on both sequencers as CV outputs), so I can drive 6 VCOs from them.
@@and7barton because there is no Reset In in the module both don´t know about each other. So the second 960 does not know anything except the clock from the other 960. In this case I have no idea how to sync both for the "set" buttons. I can not try because I have just one 960. Because this is an oldschool concept and never ever one guy had both of the old system to figure that out I have to pass. Sorry!
@@penishead_official Thanks for that. I'll keep experimenting. There may be somewhere I can find a trigger pulse to patch into the IN socket of channel 1 to reset the sequencer at that point. At the moment, when starting a sequencer, I'm having to SET the Master to the 2nd channel and the Slave to the 1st channel. Then, when I hit OSC ON on the master, They both come into sync almost immediately, and stay in sync. So this method works, but isn't ideal.
@@penishead_official I've solved the issue of running several 960s together in sync. I now have three of them. I drive them all from an external clock ( a Behringer 150), the pulse being split into 3 with a multiple.and they start and stop all on the same channel, so the problem of them starting up out of step is solved. I use the same clock pulse for triggering envelopes too. I don't use any of the 960 internal clocks at all.
i go from the clock out from my keystep pro with 24 ppq into shift from 961 but the clock is all over the place.... really all over the place!! do you know why is that?
Hey if it helps have you tried -both mono and stereo patch cables -Sending keystep clock into a buffered mult before the shift -Using a drum trigger out from the keystep pro to advance the shift?
I solved that issue a while back - Use a 962 switcher to switch the gate signals instead of a CV. The switcher can be switched from say, No 1 (which is connected to a gate input on a synth), using an output from one of the SET sockets, onto No 2 which remains unconnected to anything. Then a subsequent SET socket is used to switch the 962 back to No 1. So effectively, the channel that you want NOT to trigger anything, is switched to No2 on the 962 switcher, which then basically routes the output to nowhere, then switches back to the original trigger routing and continues. Those 962 switchers are pretty useful too, for other functions, not only for pairing up with the 960. I'm going to purchase another couple of those for miscellaneous uses.
Maybe if you send a gate to a switched output module it could mute the output for that gate, and you could multi a bunch of gates on the same switched output. You need another module though
The 962 only handles positive signals and is not good for routing audio -Doepfer makes a cheap 'Dual 2 into 1 channel switch' and its audio is bi-directional. There's load of other makers (careful though as not all modules are bi-directional and having that extra feature is nice to have.
