Music Thing Modular Turing Machine MK2 Eurorack Module. Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class.
As Pictured, This Turing Machine Euro Module is in as new condition, No Rackrash, but some very very slight surface marks which are impossible to catch in photo’s and were present when kit the shipped out.
Very clean pro quality build from the Thonk kit.
Unit has been calibrated, but it’s possible you might need to re calibrate in your system. Calibration is very simple with the trimmer accessible from the front panel.
Info:
This is a binary sequencer, based around a 16 bitmemory circuit called a shift register.Its designed as a sequencer that you can steer in onedirection or another, not one that you can programprecisely.
You cannot program this sequencer to playspecific tunes. You cannot save sequences. You cannever go back to a sequence that has changed.
To put it another way: This Random Looping Sequencer is a module that produces clocked randomly changing control voltages. Unlike many random voltage generators, these sequences can be locked into loops that repeat according to the length control.
Despite being hard to explain, since it was launched in June 2012, the Turing Machine has become one of the most popular Eurorack DIY projects.
In the Turing Machine, looping is controlled by the big knob. At noon, the sequences are random. At 5 o’clock, it locks into a repeating sequence. At 7 o’clock, it double locks into a repeating sequence twice as long as the ‘length’ setting. At 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock, it slips; looping but occasionally changing notes. The circuit was inspired by the long history of shift register pseudorandom synth circuits, including the Triadex Muse, Buchla 266 Source of Uncertainty and Grant Richter’s Noisering.
Musically, the module was inspired by 60s and 70s minimalist process music by people like Steve Reich, Terry Riley or Philip Glass: I am interested in perceptible processes. I want to be able to hear the process happening throughout the music.To facilitate closely detailed listening a musical process should happen extremely gradually. Steve Reich, Music as a Gradual Process, 1968.
Like most sequencers, you can also use the Turing Machine like an oscillator – or more accurately a waveshaper. When clocked at audio rates by a square wave oscillator, it creates random wavetables.
