This is great.

Fantastic for drones.

Does the sheep firmware have the same frequency ranges as the standard tides firmware (low: 20 minutes to 5 Hz, medium: 0.05 Hz to 300 Hz, high: 8 Hz to 10kHz)?

in the m.i. forum, olivier said:

High/Mid/Low button still does the same thing.

and i didn't notice any difference when playing around with it.

so i'd say yes, the frequency ranges seem to be the same.

what i really, really, really would wish me,
is to have also a PLL mode within sheep.

same as Tides or more advanced or probably as a standalone firmware as a full baked PLL mode , ---> with CV .

well, best would be both, PLL within sheep and as a full baked standalone firmware

Been using the sheep version all day - absolutely love it, especially the additive / harmonic synthesis bank (green).

I will check what I can do with the PLL mode. My goal was to cut down everything to make room for the waves, all the waves, nothing but the waves, though

i just installed Sheep and have had a try. Sheep is very immediate in use.
Good work Olivier ! much thanks !.
....you know, these little surprises are allways welcome.
to buy a module or to get an unexpected surprise IS NOT THE SAME

This is brilliant. I think tides is my fav module.

HavenÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t dived deeper into Tides yet, especially PLL mode, reason I might have overlooked its features, then if the clock input isnÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t used in standard mode, couldnÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t it simply act like a sync input?

This what Trigger input for. Although synced Sheep somehow sounds quieter and quieter the higher You crank it's frequency. This is not the case with the original firmware.

Can't wait for my second Tides, hope to get it in two days

IsnÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t trigger like reset? Then I was referring to the original firmware like the initial question from radiokoala did.
If IÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´m mixing something up like in the original firmware trigger possibly acts like sync, couldnÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t the clock input still be used for resetting or vice versa if I donÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t mix things up?

Sorry, I was talking about Sheep

mwvm · Post by **mwvm** » Fri Dec 26, 2014 3:49 pm

Been listening to it as lfo on filter cut off now for 4 hours

nearly ghost · Post by **nearly ghost** » Sat Dec 27, 2014 6:24 pm

WOW! This new firmware is great! I really like clocking through the banks also the sub oscillator and the wacky bit crushed out put are a nice addition. I was happy with the original tides, it amazing to be able to switch to this firmware when you fancy something different! Awesome

Had high hopes for this and was even thinking I might buy a second Tides to have as a dedicated Sheep module, but after playing with it just now it doesn't seem to make timbres that I really dig unfortunately...

Seems like I might the only one though!

In saying that though, I'm very thankful that you are making bonus goodies like this for us Olivier

did you try all three banks of wavetables?
and play around with the filter/waveshaper knob?

zam · Post by **zam** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:13 am

Yup. I dunno, maybe its the sort of thing that requires very subtle modulation? It's a bit too intense if you go crazy on the knobs! Tides you can do this and it's easy to make really nice animated squelchy sounds, which I really love. I do understand they are effectively different modules though

bartleby · Post by **bartleby** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 4:05 pm

here is a semi-random selection of five clips i recorded while beginning to explore sheep during the holidays. all audio is sheep bipolar output, sequenced by microbrute and modulated by tides in pll mode (in some cases sent thru doepfer a148 for stepped modulation). no effects, just raw and dry sheep.

moofi · Post by **moofi** » Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:17 am

Yes, sounds like an additional Tides eventually :-)

that's more like it!

zam wrote:I dunno, maybe its the sort of thing that requires very subtle modulation?

absolutely. as most of tides/sheep's cv inputs don't have an attenuator, it's a good idea to have a shades, triatt, atatat, a-183-1, or similar right next to it.

if you don't only want continuous drones, but also play sequenced notes, an a148 or other s&h would also be a useful addition.

here is a pic of the little mobile tides & sheep setup i was using to get to know sheep a little better while visiting my parents' over the holidays:

i think this would also be one good way of answering the frequently asked question: 'so i got a microbrute and would like to dip my toe into eurorack. what's a good way to get me started?'

pichenettes · Post by **pichenettes** » Mon Dec 29, 2014 5:16 pm

Adding back PLL/sync features from the original Tides firmware would eat 3 waves from the last bank, which would be replaced by a random chunk of code reinterpreted as wave data (harsh and buzzy stuff).

Wait what, I never said that

Not sure how you managed to accidentally quote moofi as me?

Btw though that itty bitty rack is friggan adorable!
