My evolving list of scripts for the Winterbloom Sol Eurorack module.
Use MIDI notes to switch between and trigger the analog bass drum, analog snare drum and analog hi-hat models of Mutable Instruments Plaits.
Copy the code in 01_plaits_midi_drum_machine.py3
to the code.py
file on the Sol and save it to send the code to the Sol.
Patch…
-
Sol CV A to Mutable Instruments Plaits FM port. Play with the attenuvertor to taste.
-
Sol CV B to Mutable Instruments Plaits Model port. Ensure that you manually set the model to first green one in order for the voltage values to work so that the various drum models can be triggered.
-
Sol CV C to Mutable Instruments Plaits Morph port. Play with the attenuvertor to taste.
-
Sol CV D: Not used in this script.
-
Sol Gate 1 to Mutable Instruments Plaits Trig port.
-
Sol Gate 2 provides 8th clock triggers for use elsewhere in your patch.
-
Sol Gate 3: Not used in this script.
-
Sol Gate 4: Not used in this script.
Send the following MIDI notes to trigger the different drum sounds on the Plaits:
- 36: Analog bass drum
- 38: Analog snare drum
- 42: Analog hi-hat ("closed")
- 46: Analog hi-hat ("open")
If you send a note that is not recognised by the script, the previous drum model is played.
You may need to stop / restart the MIDI clock on your DAW / controller to get the clock triggers to work correctly if you're sending a clocked MIDI sequence to this script.
- Change the voltages in the
midi_note_to_model
dictionary to change the baseline sounds. - Use other modulation into the Plaits to really get crazy.
