Demo: Qu-Bit Electronix Nebulae V2 (standard functions + additions from Alex T's alt. firmware)

  / anthurium.sounds  

There's bizarrely few demos floating around on the Nebulae v2 eurorack module, so here's a quick public service one. I havent covered everything, nor is this a replacement for the manual, but hopefully this video gives you an idea of what kind of sounds we can get out of the Nebulae. I think it's really great!

i've installed Alex Thibodeau alt firmware which adds the following functions to the standard Granular Looper instrument: -
"I’ve reworked how the blend knob works. It blends the same regardless of source, blending between the phase-vocoded signal and the granular signal, ccw to cw. The secondary control now blends between the incoming signal and the phase-vocoded/granular mix. Like morphagene’s sound on sound. This addresses something said above about having the time stretched and granular signals at the same time, and allows for the granular effects to be made subtler.
I’ve added a second option for the secondary pitch controls. While holding source, hold the pitch knob for about a second, and its leds should turn green. Now, turning it cw increases the odds of producing a grain that is pitched up by one or two octaves, the former more likely than the latter. Fully cw, there is a 100% chance of each grain being pitch-shifted two octaves. As it stands, this however also increases the speed, like a normal tape, but it seems like the default secondary pitch control did this also."

For live use in a system, this makes more sense to me, you do end up sacrificing CV control over your dry incoming signal, but i'm ok with that :)

I really love community vibe around open source firmware in the modular synth, I don't have the skills to contribute myself, but I can do videos - so that's my way of say thanks!
