And-Or Logic Gate

The Pulse Blender is a unique logic module based on the CD4019 AND/OR Select Gate. It can be used to generate chaotic rhythms and glitchy drones depending on what you feed it.

Logic

Output 1 is a simple OR gate linked to inputs A & B. It will go high if either input is high

Outputs 2-4 are AND/OR gates linked to A & B as well as two of the numbered inputs. So output 2 for example with go high if A & 1 are high OR if B & 2 are high.

Use Cases

Bouncy Rhythms

If you put independant pulse wave LFOs to the inputs it will generate bouncy rhythms. Input A & B set the general clocks so the more in sync they are with each other the less swingy the resulting rhythms will be.

Rhythmic Drone

Putting two audio rate signals to inputs A&B tuned to an interval and then placing up to six short pulse oscilators to inputs 1-6 will give you a drone that triggers when any of the pulses are high so you can get staccato attacks of the two tones from A&B

This can also be done the other way by tuning the oscilators going to inputs 1-6 to a chord and then sending outputs 2-4 into a mixer. This will cause half of the chord to play depending on whether A or B is active.

Expansion

The Pulse Blender has a Turing Machine bus on the back so it can be used as an expander to Music Thing’s Turing Machine Module
