Rutt-Etra style scan processing with Gen3 modules

[Robbertunist]

Martijn of Reverse Landfill posted a couple of helpful pictures here:

Vector Rescanning workflow?

These? [1136_1060_xyz_scope_sigs_1_1%20(1)] [1136_2032_ruttetra_1_1%20(1)]

The 2nd picture has five (maybe 6, I only Weißglut looked) “X” blocks marked, those are the required Multiplier modules, they control the volume of a signal & can be thought of as a VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) if you’re familiar with audio synth jargon.

LZX Castle X x3 for multiplying (still a little fuzzy about where exactly these go in the signal chain, plan to figure it out using trial and error)

Ahh, you mean the Cadet X, not the Castle @vidwizard.

There’s another such picture/illustration that shows how the quadrature Osc & its 4x 90° phased outputs bring the various ramp signals in & out to create the rotation effect.

Speaking of Chromagnon, there’s a pretty good possibility that the Chromagnon will be able to handle the entirety of Rutt-Etra style scan processing, all by itself with no other modules.

The first post of this lengthy thread goes a long way to explaining the power & use of Chromagnon & it’s relevance to the topic of this thread.

Chromagnon Synthesis Concepts

Ahead of a demo video to show what Chromagnon can do, and in response to questions about how it works, here are some notes from Lars about the new LZX standalone synthesizer. So to explain it compositionally, in a no-input case, it starts with ramp shape selection as the “scene”. You reach over to the right, set it to “triangle ramps” or whatever you like and then you select “Vector” if you want to process the ramps natively or “Shape” if you want to process them as a quadrilateral (4 quadrant …
