i love love love love love love love love your nlc videos. i super late to the nlc party but im staying. thank you

I really hope you keep making more videos about other NLC modules. They really help me better understand what some of them do, why they're so interesting (and they really are!!), and what can be done with them. Much more digestible than Andrew's videos. Sometimes I just don't have enough electronic or modular knowledge to know what's really going on. Perhaps you can work out some kind of partnership or something, you have such a talent for communicating information! Thank you for all your hard work!

As others have mentioned, this is a wonderful presentation of a very enigmatic module. If you're considering similar follow-ups, I'd love your analysis of the NLC GENiE. Thanks!

Check out the Barton Musical Circuits Voltage to Rhythm as well. It has two modes of operation but the way I like it, it takes a clock and an incoming voltage, and converts that to 8 trigger outs, basically by doing an 8 bit ADC. Feed it a random voltage (Hypster Chaos? One of the CVs out from CA?) and it can come up with a wide array of drum patterns, and like you do here, if you divide the clock you can give it a pulse to tie everything together. Thanks for the video, you've put it on my list to sit next to my Hypster and the V2R....

I just came here for the music but that's a great presentation. CA is complex. I've used it in Reaktor a bunch but years ago.

Thanks for this incredibly insightful explanation. This definitely triggered a few cellular neighbourhoods in my brain.

Great info about choosing resistor values to lower voltages for those particular cells. That's valuable info, since I'm about to start building one. Thanks!

Excellent presentation, this really gives me something to think about.

Great stuff, thanks for putting out all these videos

Thanks for making it. Very useful for a better understanding of this cool module. 👍

Great video! Beautifully explained.

Fantastic work! ❤️

Very cool info. Cheers!

Love your videos, well done here

Nice one

Nice :)

I absolutely would have watched a 2 hour video on this

Wow! Be careful what you wish for. :)

Does this module ever create loops or is it always evolving?

From what I gather it wont loop exactly but one could use the seed inputs to reset it into looping behaviour? How easy is that to achieve? Thanks for the video BTW 😀

It doesn't really create loops, and when it does it's usually just a loop with one state so it just seems to freeze up. I have seen it get into a 2-step loop before where it flips back and forth between two states. If it's ever gotten into a longer loop, I never noticed it. That really isn't the purpose of this module. The seed inputs just add an 'extra cell' to the corner, they don't work in any way special. The most useful thing they do is give me a way to break out of a frozen loop.

@@SoundVoltage thanks for the info. In terms of musical application, what's the difference between what this produces and a stream of random cv then? Does it produce sequences with chaotically re occurring motifs, hinting at some kind of underlying structure that could be musically useful?
