I just noticed STM32F0/F3 files in stmlib and was about to post about it until I searched the forum and saw this:

So I’m now guessing after this post Olivier waited 10 months then pushed M0 files to github to distract from the monster additive algorithm which will be released on M7!

#1453

Yes, it will be interesting to see if any of the new modules use STM32M7 MPUs, as the latest Synthesis Technologies and Bitbox modules do. Then again, I suspect Olivier takes some pride in wringing the maximum amount of computation from the minimum CPU needed to get the job done.

There are M7/H7 projects in the works.

But the new modules are mostly F3, 50mA or so from the positive rail kind of things :slight_smile:

All this teasing is killing me :wink:
when are they coming out? please?

#1456

My new, marginally less unfounded guess is 400 glorious MHz of a replacement to Clouds’s spectral mode, with a more focused interface, but even more spectral (or ceptsral!) processing, and most importantly even more madness.

#1457

Won’t happen because of latency.

#1458

Ah, I remember “disastrous when put into a Eurorack case, because of latency and slow CV sampling rate issues” now. You mean STFT blocklength latency and Gabor limit issues?

#1459

Yes.

#1460

Thanks @pichenettes, your openness is truly inspiring, on all fronts.

Regardless, I can’t wait to see what’s inside your brain that takes 400 MHz, or rather can’t be fit in to 168. Especially coupled with all the good things you’ve been saying about interface and specialization is very exciting!

To clarify: I think “I’m pretty sure we haven’t already explored all interesting DSP ideas that can be done with 100 MIPS, or even 10 MIPS.” is a good attitude to have, which is why I feel okay being excited about your ideas that take more!

#1461

Yes, but wrt to MPU horsepower, don’t forget that quad-channel is the new stereo in Eurorack…

#1462

Right, 2x the clock cycles for 2x the channels! It’s only a matter of time before someone makes a 4ch Clouds for nice end of chain quad reverb.

Well, Plaits has been released so no need to discuss it here any further. However, in a video on Plaits by erstlaub (David Fyans), we can clearly see the right-hand edge of another new, unreleased Mutable module:

It is clearly an envelope generator, with LED slider pots for the duration of each segment - the LED in the slider seems to light while that segment is active. There would appear to be input jacks suggesting that external CV control is possible. Note also the output jack that is visible, labelled “6” (in Sanskrit/Marathi/Devanagri script). Is this a six channel envelope generator? Or is that a trigger output for segment 6 of the envelope?

Also buttons and multi-colour LEDs above each segment slider - to set the segment shape?

My guess is that this is Cascades, a chained envelope generator, possible with 6 envelopes that can be chained into more complex envelopes, or used separately.

is it really a 3 though?

#1465

It’s a Sanskrit/Marathi 3.

#1466

but is it really though?

spoiler alert, it’s a 6

Err, yeah, it’s a 6 (sorry, still on my first pot of tea on a Saturday morning here, brain not awake yet). Edited my post above accordingly…

#1468

It’s not Stages?

Or was that a red herring?

Edit: Also, didn’t that mystery module from the Facebook post also have 6 “outputs”? Hmm.

#1469

Yes, I think it might have previously been Stages. But the 6 output module on FB had all knobs, no sliders. I think it is something else again.

#1470

Olivier has posted on Facebook:

Now that you have witnessed the Braids -> Plaits transformation… Expect something similar for the other discontinued modules (Peaks and Clouds) before the end of the year.

I hope it’s easier for you now to understand why I have discontinued these modules.

So, my guess is Cascades, the Peaks replacement, with slider pots and maybe six channels, or six segments, will be next.

#1471

I hope so. I need some kind of envelop generator. I’ve been holding off for quite some times to get a quadra or anything else.
