Why not pick one and then have ability to dial in another octave or two using a knob? ---

yes - the intend is to set the quantization and octave range independently. ---

Sorry have quite a lot work at the moment… so you need some patience with me! 😅 In the mean time: heres a recording of my last live performance in which i used this patch to steer curtain modules of my live setup. https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/track=2218717687/size=large/tracklist=false/artwork=small/ beware its drownie 😴 ---

a question about the above scales: why is there a 12? when i count the keys of one octave there are 12 (0-11 in midi). i ask this because, i need to map the numbers to the octaves (octave 2-3 means \> 24 - 47 in Midi), - but that 12 annoys me (0 - 12 are 13 keys) 😕 . can i delete that 12? in the above scale list? i think so. Heres a Midi chart for the notes: ![LARGE](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/critterandguitari/original/2X/9/909dc76759f2d8b77ea47feddd8f8ebc199bc165.jpg) ---

The 12 is so that it knows the size of the last interval. EigenD ( which this is from) handles any scale, so actually the last note does not have to be 12, it could be 15. So yes you could delete , if you are assuming a 12 note scale ---

There is also the [Octatonic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octatonic_scale) aspect, but not needed in this case… ---

nah, I’m just also an eigenharp fan 🙂 a couple of other ideas for you… depending if you want to be fixed to 12 tone scales, or more flexible. a) scala scale format (.scl) probably the most supported format is scala [http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/](http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/) its a pretty simple format, and you can get pretty much any scale in this format. but might be a bit overkill for this. b) binary format ok, this is my own format which i use for simple 12 notes scales, its kind of an implementation format, and will handle all the above… but not microtone scales etc. simply put, imagine a 12bit binary number where each bit represents a semitone (high bit = tonic), and 1 = in scale, 0 - out of scale chromatic 0b1111111111111 natural minor 0b1010110101011 why this format? well its really compact in memory a scale takes 2 bytes. its also very easy to see if a note is in a scale : ((1 \<\< notenum) & scalemask) and also quantising is then as simple as rotating note, till you get true (where notenum = 0-11, is offset by tonic, and then modulo 12) … so given how cheap bit operations are its **much** cheaper than using floats/ints, and comparing values. (ive been using this in both MEC for the Ableton push scales, and also on axoloti, where memory is critical) i don’t have a list of scales, but you can see its pretty easy to convert from the eigend format to it. ---

holy, this sounds like rocket science to me! for the moment i am happy when some scales are working within my patch 🙂 ---

Version 3 is out! [https://patchstorage.com/turingmachina/](https://patchstorage.com/turingmachina/) Multipage with even more control like clock divider/multiplier, quantised with 15 different scales to choose from and a reverb (audio through) to spice up your Synths. \*Page 1 – Sequencer Knob 1: Select Steps to Random Knob 2: Amount of change (randomness) Knob 3: Octaves Knob 4: Step length (2-8 Steps) \*Page 2 – Settings Knob 1: BPM Knob 2: Clock Multiplier/Divider Knob 3: Key duration Knob 4: Quantisation Scale \*Page 3 – Midi Knob 1: Midi Channel \*Page 4 – Reverb Knob 1: Room Size Knob 2: Dampening Knob 3: Dry/Wet Knob 4: Predelay Aux: Play / Stop / Clear (hold for 1 sec.) You can set a starting Note by pressing it on the note keys then hold the Aux-Button for 1 second. Knob 3 on page 1 is also an octave changer for the keys of the organelle. ENJOY! ---

This acts as a midi controller, yes? So I would need a device to receive the signal from the Organelle? If so, does anyone know if an OP1 would be able to accomplish this on its own? Or would I need an interface of some kind bridging them? ---

I didn’t think so. I was reading on the op1 forum that others have had to use some form of interface though, so I wasn’t sure. Any ideas on how I can run through my op1. I tried connecting them. I’m sure I’m missing a step somewhere. Just not positive where. ---

Worked with me without any problems. Here is what i did (in order): - Started Organelle - Started OP1 - Hooked them via USB cable together - Started TuringMachina Patch - Selected a Synth on OP1 Done. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/critterandguitari/original/2X/6/64a5bf6ddbb46a6d5aa330e65149eb1750b6f493.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/turing-machina-sequencer/2071.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/turing-machina-sequencer/2071.md?page=3)
