CV → Midi that would connect via the same expansion slot as the new 1u Midi → CVx expanders.
This would allow you to use the intellijel MIDI → CV AND a CV → midi module via the intellijel case midi jacks/usb.
There’s plenty of envelope followers out there, and I believe even some 1U ones from other manufacturers. What I don’t see, but would love to, is an envelope follower that also outputs v/oct pitch
Would you expect it to actually analyze the incoming audio and thru some form of pitch detection provide a v/oct signal that actually follows the correct pitch of said audio? Would it be limited to monophonic signals? (I guess the output would be, but the input might not be)
You’d need a pretty speedy chip.
This sounds awesome and really hard to make.
The ms20 has some form of pitch tracking right? If you don’t mind about it being super accurate I think extracting the loudest fundamental and outputting a v/Oct corresponding to the frequency is actually “fairly” straight forward and even possible with just analog components. If you want something a bit more clever then yea you’ll probs want some digital analyzers etc!! Could be cool!
Please count me as a requestor for this as well. Noise Tools is such an elegant collection of essential tools that isn’t available anywhere else in a single 3u module, at least that I know of. The closest I can find are SSF/WMD Modbox (w/no slew and only triangle waves, not pulse) and the Doepfer A-184-1, with a ring mod en lieu of a clock.
I also understand that this would be a relatively boring module, compared to (e.g.) Quadrax or Planar2, so it might not be a sales blockbuster, and thus might not qualify for the necessary development priority/resources. But man, I really want one. It would be a killer nerve-center for this small system I’m putting together.
Very interesting, thanks for this. I was under the impression that the Noise Tools 1U was too wide to fit in a 3U space, but I wonder if I got confused and measured the Steppy 1U or something else.
I may have to cook up one of those faceplates myself. Similarly, I encourage Intellijel to offer 3U faceplates for this module, as it seems like an easy and affordable way to make it available to a broader audience.
I’d love to see a 3u noise tools! With a bit more space, one feature that could be cool to add is a Bernoulli gate in place of the random pulse function. Clock out would be normalled to a gate input for a Bernoulli gate, and an additional knob for probability, and then would continue through the normalled signal flow like normal. That way the probability, as well as max speed, of the random triggers could be adjusted.
Have you looked at the back of an Intellijel module as compared to, say, one by Doepfer? Components are super tiny on Intellijel stuff. A chip that picks out the loudest frequency wouldn’t be all that hard, when you compare it with some of the things other modules, like the quadrax, can do.
