Mutable Instruments Marbles

The random gate generator t

Marbles either follows its internal clock or sets itself to an adjustable multiplication/division of an external clock (or a regular rhythmic pattern). This regular clock is disturbed by a process that simulates a musician playing with a click and trying to make up for his mistakes - from perfect accuracy to complete chaos. From this imperfect master clock, a 2-channel random rhythm is generated using one of the following processes: random coin toss, random ratcheting or random generation of drum patterns.

The random CV generator x

This generator generates three channels of random voltages, each of which is clocked by the individual outputs of the t-section or by a common external clock signal. Complete control over the distribution of the output voltages is provided as follows: concentrated or spread, quantized or unquantized, centered or prepared for a specific voltage. The same transformations can be performed on an external CV for the Sample & Hold or Shift register operation.
