Toppobrillo Sport Modulator 2 – how to use?

[toppobrillo]

Does anyone have the input and output voltage range specs to hand?

Any input is OK with anything in between +/-12V. The END output swings from ~0-5V, the OUTput can swing from about -11 to +11V, GATE and S(H) thresholds (what is seen as 'HIGH") are set at about 1.2V, the COMPARATOR output swings ~+/-5V, and as mentioned- CYCLE range is jumper selectable. You can also self- patch ~0-5V cycling, by taking the END out and patching it to the INPUT... hope your curiosity has been satisfied!

I want this to be real so bad. Emailed and never got a response :(

Break out module for jumpers?

I realise it’s probably a very mundane use of a very powerful module, of which I’ve barely started to scratch the surface, but is there a way it can be used to derive a clock from audio pulses, kind of like this?

you mean, like setting it to cycling and using the [end] gate as a clock?

all switches , run audio to the top channel, take your clock from the coupler output.
for adjustment, the slew rate control on the top channel will control timing, and running a voltage offset into the bottom channel will control the threshold for when it triggers a clock pulse

Thanks! Extremely helpful

Tried the ”triple rhythm generator” patch today. That was cool. Would never have figured it out on my own.

Ive not really tried the RVG patch / CUPL switch before, but it got lovely results with an lfo as input (noise was good but liked this) love the gate patterns it generated from CUPL
(LPG pluck is the Takaab passive 2xLPG in 2hp - nice)

Ooh could you drop the patch notes for this one. I'm obsessed.

Ha! Well it looks like theres a lot going on there - but I had a really big patch going on another tune but just fancied a break and patched this up on sport mod

There's an 'lfo' going on a cycling Quadra channel into the top Sport Mod Channel input. CUPL switch is on as you can see and the cycling switch on lower channel is down/off.

Top channel out is going to a pitched channel on squid salmple's pitch v/Oct input. That channel is going to input on a Takaab LPG

LPG CV input has the output from CUPL/comparator hitting it.

LPG into echophon and I think that's about it.

well, it's about dang time!

Yeah my bad

does anyone know if this in generic sample and hold duties holds voltage better than doepfers s&h? a148 i think

[wonkychris]

Here's another patch that's just Sport Mod2, a clock divider and a single cycling exponential Quadra envelope

Everything you hear is from the CUPL output.

Top and bottom channels are cycling. End of bottom channel goes to a clock divider at /8, output of that goes to gate on top channel (sort of provides the hi rhythms. Quadra envelope to CV in on bottom channel makes kick sound - there is no 'sync' with this it's just a free running LFO so not related to the Sport Mod2 channels.

Very grimey techno

It sure does

What (let's say non-obvious) differences, or what different results have people been getting between Sport Mod 2, SSG, and GTO? Does anyone have experience with all three? I'm enjoying the SM2, but I know it has some borrowed lineage and GTO just came out which expands on that original lineage and I'm trying to think of not so apparent differences/use cases.

[Black]

what is a GTO, please?

The Serge GTO is a new, just released and currently sold out, improvement on the SSG. The SSG, as I understand it, was the inspiration for the Sport Mod.

Oh brilliant, I never thought of listening to the CUPL output.
Love the complexity from 3 modules!

Not sold out. Available here (now with a nice user manual):
