In this video, I explain what Maths is and why it’s so popular. Maths sounds complicated and if you’ve heard some of the terms used to describe it - an analog computer, a function generator and various other quadratic equations, it may seem a bit intimidating, but overall, it has three core components: attentuverters, a mixer and slew rate limiters. It is however the combination of these things, which a few bonus features, that makes Maths such a versatile module. In this clip I give an example of 22 things you can use it for: 1. Audio level control (for example, to reduce eurorack audio levels to line level) 2. A simple voltage generator 3. Mod depth control for external LFOs and envelopes. 4. Signal/waveform inversion 5. An audio mixer 6. Slew for glide/portamendo effects. 7. It has multiple ways to trigger envelopes. 8. It can generate two separate AD (Attack-Delay) Envelopes. 9. Envelope curves can be linear, exponential, logarithmich, or any combination thereof, generating “sharkfin“ type envelopes. 10. It can generate ASR (Attack-Sustain-Release) envelopes 11. Various type LFOs 12. Math can behave as a voltage controller oscillator (VCO) 13. By creating two VCOs and patching one to the other you can create FM style sounds 14. With a bit of patching, Maths can create extremely slow LFOs (up to 25 minutes) 15. Maths can behave as an envelope follower... 16. ... which can be used as Sidechain 17. It can be a simple clock... 18. ... and perform as a clock divider 19. You can mix envelopes and LFOs to create complex shapes, such as a fast LFO riding a slow LFO 20. The OR output can be used to create even more complex waveforms, as well as act as a rectifier that only allow positive voltages. 21. Maths can process sounds fimilar to a filter with optional resonance 22. In a pinch, Maths can act as a VCA People keep asking... the case is from here: NOTE: Occasionally I’ll try out affiliate marketing and include affiliate links.
