 +
* Adds (2) mode control knobs
 +
* 7 o-clock = 12 o'clock = Normal mode
 
* 12 o-clock - 5 o=clock = Send Outputs on both OUTxA and OUTxB
 
* 12 o-clock - 5 o=clock = Send Outputs on both OUTxA and OUTxB

* Measured GATE in to OUT latency < 20uS using digitalRead and digitalWrite
 +
* Improved by [https://docs.arduino.cc/hacking/software/PortManipulation accessing the ports directly]
 +
** Measured at 2 uS

ER-STIX Front-Rear 720PX.jpg

Features

  • Similar to Mutable Instruments Branches
    • Dual Bernoulli Gate
  • Differences vs Branches
    • Only has 1 GATE input
    • No push buttons
      • Uses Pots to control mode - more modes than Branches
    • 0-5V input/outputs
  • Built on ER-PROTO-02
  • Arduino Pro Mini
  • Protection on all external jacks with Schottky diode clamps
  • 10-pin Eurorack power
    • Uses +12V only

Operation

  • Receives single Gate on J1
  • RV1 controls OUT 1
  • RV2 controls OUT 2
  • RV3 is mode control 1
  • RV4 is mode control 2

Arduino Pro Mini

  • Works with ATMega168 (or 328)
  • Program from FTDI

Arduino Pins

ER-STIX-Arduino.PNG

Controls

  • RV1 - Probabilistic ratio for Output 1
    • Center = 50-50, CCW = Out1A on 100%, CW = 0% on OUT1B
    • Inserting J3 jack disables RV1
  • RV2 - Probabilistic ratio for Output 2
    • Center = 50-50, CCW = Out1A on 100%, CW = 0% on OUT1B
    • Inserting J3 jack disables RV1
  • RV3 - OUT 1 Mode
    • 7-12 o'clock = Normal Mode drives only OUT1A or OUT1B
    • 12-5 o'clock = Drives both OUT1A and OUT1B
  • RV4 - OUT 2 Mode
    • 7-12 o'clock = Normal Mode drives only OU21A or OUT2B
    • 12-5 o'clock = Drives both OUT2A and OUT2B

Jacks

J1 - Gate

  • 0.6V threshold GATE input

J2 - OUT1 Random %

  • 0-5V control input
  • Inserting jack disables RV1
  • 0V = 100% on OUT1A, 2.5V = 50% on OUT1A/OUT1B, 5V = 100% on OUT1B

J3 - Out1A

  • Gate output 1
  • 0-5V digital output

J4 - Out1B

  • Gate output 1
  • 0-5V digital output

J5 - Out2A

  • Gate output 2
  • 0-5V digital output

J6 - Out2B

  • Gate output 2
  • 0-5V digital output

Schematic

Software

  • Arduino IDE

Pot/GATEs Test

  • Pot/GATEs Test code GitHub
  • Used for testing the hardware works
  • Reads (4) pots and prints values to monitor, write values to serial
  • Toggles GATE outs - one at a time
  • Tests RV1/J2 loopback

Simplest Version 1

Still pretty simple - Version 2

Sketch uses 1990 bytes (13%) of program storage space. Maximum is 14336 bytes.
Global variables use 13 bytes (1%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1011 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 1024 bytes.

More modes - Version 3

Mode RV3 Dependency RV4 Operation
0 7-12 OUT1/OUT2 independent 7-9 Normal, coin toss output one of OUTxA, OUTxB 
RV1 controls p() getting OUT1A vs OUT1B
RV2 controls p() getting OUT2A vs OUT2B
1 7-12 OUT1/OUT2 independent 9-12 Coin toss determines OUTxA, OUTxB independently 
Toss the coin for each output independetly
RV1 controls p() OUT1A and p() OUT1B independently
RV2 controls p() OUT2A and p() OUT2B independently
2 7-12 OUT1/OUT2 independent 12-3 Ping pong A/B 
RV! controls p() of switching to OUT1A > OUT1B, etc
RV2 controls p() of switching to OUT2A > OUT2B, etc
3 7-12 OUT1/OUT2 independent 3-5 Coin toss both on 
RV1 controls p() of driving OUT1A and OUT1B
RV2 controls p() of driving OUT2A and OUT2B
4 12-5 OUT1/OUT2 dependent 7-9 Normal, coin toss one of OUT1A, OUT1B, OUT2A, OUT2B 
OUT is randomly selected
RV1 controls p() sending OUTxY
RV2 is not used
5 12-5 OUT1/OUT2 dependent 9-12 Coin toss determines OUTxA, OUTxB dependently, drives both OUTxA/OUTxB 
RV1 is p() of whether any gate goes out
RV2 us p() or selecting OUT1 vs OUT2
6 12-5 OUT1/OUT2 dependent 12-3 Sequential OUT1A, OUT1B, OUT2A, OUT2B 
RV!, RV2 control whether to step or not
CW on both stops stepping
CCW always step
7 12-5 OUT1/OUT2 dependent 3-5 All on 
RV1 controls p() of driving OUT1A/OUT1B
RV2 controls p() of driving OUT2A/OUT2B
