The Zorlon Cannon | Dark Atari 2600 Tone Generation | The Harvestman | IME

This module is pretty special. To give an idea of what is going on I tried to make it simple. In all of these patches the top mixer is the sound and the bottom mixer is the gates. The bottom mixer is firing gates that are triggering all four envelopes separately as an envelope or in burst mode on Quadrax. The top mixer outs are going into vcas. That is where the sound is coming from. There are four sounds in total coming from the mixer. When I say mixers I am talking about the outputs on the Zorlon Cannon. Quadrax is then modulating the vcas. Something to note. Quadrax when in burst mode (yellow lights) till the cycle ends it will block any of the gates incoming from the Zorlon Cannon till it ends its cycle. Think of it like a ping pong ball bouncing. It will not accept gates from the Zorlon Cannon till the final “bounce”. This is why at first it may look like some of the gates are not matching up with the envelopes. Probably the most fun I have had in modular in awhile. Up there with Mito and Dial up
