TINRS Tuesday, Manual

Page: 5 / 20

Overview
Hi there! Thank you for buying Tuesday, our procedural
sequencer Eurorack module. We hope this module brings
you boundless enjoyment, general increased happiness
and never ending productivity.
Tuesday contains 12 different algorithms that generate
melodies. The parameters of the algorithms can be
tweaked by turning the X , Y and ! knobs or patching your
cables in. You can change the timing and the tonality of
the melody by pushing buttons.
Controls
Tempo Knob
The
tempo
knob has two modes. If no external clock is
connected (no cable in the
clock
jack) then turning the
knob controls the master tempo from 20 up to 240 beats
per minute. If an external clock is connected via a patch
cable into
clock
jack, then turning the knob controls the
clock subdivision level.
X and Y Knobs
The
X
and
Y
knob control two main parameters for your
selected algorithm. The function of these two knobs
varies per algorithm. Please read the Algorithms section
to find out more.
! Knob
The ! knob controls the density of the melody. When
turned all the way to the left, barely any notes will be
generated. When turned all the way to the right, almost
all ticks will have a note.
Algo Button and LEDs
Pressing the algo button cycles you between four
different algorithm slots. The LEDs tell you which slot is
currently being used. Tuesday comes with Stomp,
TriTrance, Saiko Lead and Wobble as factory defaults.
Please read the Algorithm section to assign other
algorithms to these four slots.
Defaults slot assignments:
Ticks Button and LEDs
Pressing the ticks button cycles you between four
different ticks-per-beat options. The LEDs tell you which
option is currently being used. Tuesday can give you two,
three, four or five ticks per beat.
Beats Button and LEDs
Pressing the
beats
button cycles you between four
different beats-per-loop options. The LEDs tell you which
option is currently being used. Tuesday can give you four,
eight, sixteen or thirty-two beats per loop.
Scale Button and LEDs
Pressing the
scale
button cycles you between four
different musical scale slots. The LEDs tell you which one
is currently being used. Tuesday comes with Major, Minor,
Dorian and Blues scales as factory defaults. Please read
the Scales section to assign other scales to these four slots
and for more information about the difference between
them.
Defaults slot assignments:
Input Jacks
Clock
By patching a cable into the clock jack, the tempo of the
melody synchronizes to any external time source you give it.
Reset
Patch a trigger signal into the reset jack. Every trigger rewinds
the melody to the beginning of its loop.
X, Y and !
Patch a signal here to automate the matching knob, modula-
ting your parameter. Your modulation inputs are summed
together with the value of the matching knob. If you leave the
knob in the center position, you can span the full range of the
parameter by external modulation.
Output Jacks
The
clk out
(clock out),
tick
,
beat
and
loop
outputs send
triggers according to their settings. The note and vel (velocity)
jacks are analog CV outputs. They provide you with note and
velocity curves to control your oscillators. The gate and acc
(accent) outputs send pulses to your connected envelopes for
every note that Tuesday wants to play.
Getting Started
Installing the module
Power down your Eurorack system.
Connect the included power cable between your Eurorack
power rail and the back of the Tuesday module. Make sure
the power cable is connected with the RED STRIPE to the
MINUS 12V RAIL.
Secure your Tuesday module to the rack using the
included screws. If you want to use your own, use size M3
or smaller. You can use the provided washers to prevent
rack rash.
Power up your Eurorack system.
Connecting your first patch
Connect the note output to the 1V/oct input of your
favourite oscillator.
Connect the gate output to the trigger/gate input of an
envelope that is controlling the volume of the oscillator.
Adjust the
tempo
knob to your liking.
You should now hear your first Tuesday melodies.
Go wild with the buttons and the knobs!
