Hysteresis


Hammer Bb3 rapidly to stagger warped suspended cymbal samples. D0, D1+V & D5+G (after D6+A13 off) in various combinations to cycle the sample at various speeds, pitches, directions, to improvise on. The timings affect each staggered sample differently, scattering each staggered sample's begin time, as setup for the next part. Above a resistance threshold of ~120ohms, Vcc+A13 to 17 speeds up the cycle greatly, which sounds like a fast scrub thru its various subsections. Below the threshold, the cycles seems to freeze and loop on one of the subsections. Because the prior scrambling, each sample freezes at a different subsection- which forms a dense polyrhythm as each subsection has a different cycle duration/pitch. Right at the threshold (very precisely, a few ticks on a 10 turn 100 ohm pot will tip it over), the cycles will freeze, jump to a new subsection, and freeze again. How long it freezes for seems random, there's probably a looping program that can only exit on the low chance a bit crosses the threshold. Gnd+A12 to A17 in various combinations lets you exclusively change the timbre: between its 'normal' timbre and one alternative timbre, with white noise in between. You cannot connect an Address line to both Gnd and Vcc at the same time (this would cause a short circuit). However, certain combinations of A+V and A+G produce the same sound, which means that these shared sounds can be used as pivot points, freeing up certain address lines to be switched off or used in the other mode.
