Could someone try this? I’m on v0.4.21 firmware

Just load it up on 1 mono channel and it should autoplay.

You need Joe’s “accents” installed here ER301/lib/accents/

I put the file in ER301/v0.4/presets/custom-effect/autogen301/

Getting there, but it’s slow going. 70% of the modulation I can get back by changing to Accents via text file. For some reason v/Oct oscillator mod controls and Delay time modulation controls remain blank in the upgrade changing from .lua to .unit. Even after altering the script text file. All the custom controls modulation parameters are also blank.

To fix it, I am having to flick back to v3.25, remove Accents folder, add Joes Custom Units folder so I can read them, manually save the missing CV modulation as a mixer unit preset. Remove Joes Units, Add Accents folder. Copy mixer preset from v3 to v4 folder, rename the mixer preset from lua .unit. Reload v4.23 and add the correct modulation…

Here’s one I finished. I have done 10 so far and may have a few additions also.

thanks for the “sbatta” as we say in italy (hard work but also a way to say something that’s a bit of a P.I.T.A. :slight_smile: )!
autogen is a great idea, more than tools, it’s device poetry!

Here’s some demos and new additions I plan to add. I keep getting sidetracked with converting old stuff because of ideas from Joes newer Accents units and the new OS, Scala importing, so I made some new things as well.

i tried to load these but i failed, is it correct that these won’t work with 0.4.23?

That’s correct - they were made with firmware v0.3.25. I am currently updating them to v4 and will release them very soon. The last 7 videos are unreleased v4 addition demo’s

Here’s another 2 new additions demos

Ah, man, the Vectrex video on your Instagram is just lovely. How on earth do you get those high crisp tones? Love it. Really need to study a few of these custom units of yours once the ER-301 arrives. :slight_smile:

Thanks, using the er301 for AV stuff is definitely doable by loading in stereo audio wav’s made using AV synths, to a any of the players. I used 3 channel outputs. Channel 1 and 2 left and right stereo outputs audio control the x / y coordinates of a Vectrex. On channel 3 the z input, the brightness is controlled by a sine wave internal oscillator. The audio is the actual audio to make the shapes. The Morphagene works for this also although you have to split and mark the samples on a computer first before importing. I know the er301 has AC outputs so no good for sending CV signals but for audio rate it is fine for video. I am looking at trying finding ways to view scan processed files. Its better to have higher conversion rates on the outputs, upto 192k but 96k and 48k is OK. This one below is at 48k playing a scan processed loop in the card player.

Imho, this is probably one of the most, if not the most inspiring thing that’s (Soon) in my eurorack. Many small fountains of chaotic sound, what’s not to love :heart:

This is autogen301 for v0.4.24 firmware - this has now increased from the original 15 units to 28 self generating custom units using 100% internal units and no samples. I made these to understand the patching system on the er301 through programming self generating patches and also some of the newer features in v4 firmware. I used some of these as backup patches in case I had problems when playing live - emergency patches :slight_smile: . They are also holiday patches made when I could only carry a small skiff.

There is deliberately minimal control - usually 2 sliders for cv control and occasionally none. You steer the ship to move in a particular direction. These are building blocks so please dig in and mess about with the patch settings to taste.

Loading Instructions :
You must have Joes “Accents” installed for them to play - Some new Units to share
2 units (Sway and Ambikarp ) use the wavetable single cycle oscillator. You need to self load the appropriate sample attached to each oscillator - see readme file
“Sway” also uses 1 scala scale - drop the associated file in the /ER301/scales folder for the Quantiser to read that particular scale - see readme file
I’m using firmware 48k v0.4.24 - so please upgrade if you don’t have.
If you use 96k firmware, most of these units will max out the CPU.
Note : due to CPU limits, only load one custom unit at a time or you will max out the system.
Unzip autogen301 to ER-301/v0.4/presets/units/custom-effect/xxxx
Unzip Accents to ER-301/libs/accents/xxxx

Click on “Custom Effect” in the menu.
Click on the custom effect self generated name (left side - not where it says “open”)
Load Preset -> goto ER-301/v0.4/presets/units/custom-effect/xxxx
Another alternative way to load custom units is to press “insert” in the bottom smaller window. Then move the cursor to “Presets” and load that way.
They are all mono units - so just connect audio out - and tweak the sliders.

Congratulations with the 0.4 upgrade! Happy these gems are back.

I noticed your instructions

Did you know you can skip that step and load presets from the insert menu directly?

Hey, thanks, Yes, I did know that, and it’s ok for loading the very first unit, the quicker way as you described. The problem is when you want to try a second preset. Because the units are high CPU I don’t want to use that way as loading another one the same way, inserts a second unit and maxes out the CPU and freezes the er301. So I would rather encourage people to use the menu system and load the next preset from the first “load preset” instead of inserting and adding a second unit on the same channel. What I’ll do, so everyone is covered, is add a line as an option and update. Thanks for mentioning it :slight_smile:

Beautiful work! :100:

The replace operation might be relevant here also.
