Here’s a little video of using Marbles as a shift register. Seems to be a feature some have missed, but it’s absolutely lovely.

That’s lovely, thank you.

Hi, I’m having exactly the same problem! Just can’t get it to work… :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

hi everybody

im relatively new to eurorack, so i freshly got marbles and ate up the manual and also divkids video and think i do understand the module fairly well, but there is one thing which i cant seem to figure out !

If there is a sequence running and locked in dejavu, wouldnt it be awsome to able to just “slightly” randomize either the t- “OR” the x-section? so you get slight variations in rhythm but not in pitch… or the otherway arround? is there no such function?

as of now im only able to do subtle randomisation to both sections simultaneously, or lock one section while the other goes complete bonkers… its still fun but harder to generate progressive musical variations if both are changing at the same time. i know i can use the bias and spread and jitter but this is not exactly what im looking for. hope you get the idea… maybe im just missing the obvious or is there another firmware that can do that? Or perhaps i need two marbles??? =)

please help =) thaaaanks a ton! especialy émilie for your amazing inspirational modules, patience and care! <3 all the best!

Hmmm that could actually be implemented without too much effort and compromises in a firmware update as a kind of “super lock”: long press on the DEJA VU X or t button makes this channel unresponsive to the DEJA VU knob.

Question: should this “super lock” feature also allow the LENGTH to be tweaked for the t or X section while the length remains “super-locked” for the other? Or should the “super lock” only act on DEJA VU (this would seem to be what you need!).

whooa… thank you for your replie!

“…long press on DEJAVU X or T” - have even tried that before, thats exactly what i meant, the superlock! =)

Regarding the lenght to be tweaked independently, i think eitherway would be amazing, although to be able to tweak only the lenght of X or T would be super interesting. what do you think would make sense or is easier to implement? Thanks!

Technically, both are possible and equally easy, though allowing LENGTH to be “super-locked” creates an invisible parameter: there’s no visual indication of the length of the super-locked channel.

#291

one needed to listen or remember the respective lenght. it would be just the lenght you started with. not so much of a complication if you ask me? you could perhaps disable superlock, and adjust lenght again if needed or uncertain about it?

#292

I’d really appreciate this update, and would vote for leaving the length alone and only super locking DEJA VU, seems a lot cleaner that way. I’m also happy with how Marbles is now, but it would be a nice to have.

Once in “super lock” you could perhaps use the button underneath the External Processing Button to toggle the length to original locked value and the current knob position value? Then regarding indication, perhaps use the External Processing Button LED blink for each step with a blink from the t/X button on the first step?

Or would all that start making the UI too messy?

#294

Super, super, super messy!

Good job I’m not a UI designer then :slight_smile:

#296

I’m inclined to agree with this. It feels like it’d be nice to use super-lock to do some slight variation on rhythm or melody, but I’d expect to be change the length on both channels simultaneously even then.

Wanted this feature ever since I got the Module.

Would be sooo awesome if this became a official feature update.

#298

I’ve actually written the code here from home, but I won’t have the opportunity to go to my workshop and test it on an actual module before a couple of days…

SUPERLOCK IS WHAT I NEED!
(Sorry for the caps lock but I’m super excited!)

This is so coool… deep gratitude émilie! please take your time =) our marbles won’t be rolling away!

To all the people who are “voting” for the lenght to be superlocked aswell, try magine it the other way arround and all the nice things you could do. Couldn’t you easily do beautiful ployrhythms and still have way more control than before the superlock?
For example: You have a 4 step melodie going that you like, now you just double(or half) the lenght of the rhythm - or make
The lenght 6, let it evolve or change it back to 5 or 3 or whatever. Or take a 3 step pattern, and play with the lenght and/or varations of the melodie - make it 3/5 or 3/7.
I could go on forever, the kaleidoscopic, hypnotic possibilities seem endless and to me, this looks even more exciting that way. (If you’re not looking for that kinda ride, i guess disabling superlock while changing the lenght would also do the trick?)

Seriously almost can not believe that you gave this idea a shot. This is amazing! Was this ever mentioned somewhere before? Just whatever way it is gonna be, if its gonna be, it will be super, just as super as if its not gonna be! Have a nice :wink:

I could test my code on a real module, it works!

Official post here:

Why I didn’t implement the locking of the LENGTH? Simply because implementing it would hint at another feature that would be impossible to achieve: keeping a different length for X and t; but keeping their DEJA VU loop evolving in sync with the DEJA VU knob.

So let’s keep things consistent: the t and X buttons control the scope of the DEJA VU knob, as represented by the dotted lines on the front panel, and that’s it.

As an aside… The module already has many polyrhythmic possibilities as is. I’m not even talking about the division/multiplication t mode. Many people don’t seem to understand this, but a loop length of 4 doesn’t mean that the global behavior of the module will repeats itself every 4th clock tick. For example, with a length of 4, this pattern can be realized:

t1: X---X---X---X---X---X---X---X---
t2: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
t3: -XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX

X1: 1---2---3---4---1---2---3---4---
X2: 12341234123412341234123412341234
X3: -123-412-341-234-123-412-341-234

W.O.W
it makes marble much more intuitive.

Bravo @psy_dive! , et un Énorme merci à Émilie pour ce “tweak”.
