Short Performance with Jupiter Storm

Rack and patch used in this performance

The Jupiter Storm pod was fitted out for this performance.

Top three inputs of Mix 6 mix the three Jupiter Storm oscillators; bottom mixes first three main outputs. The three oscillators combined mix goes to the pitch CV of uBurst. The bottom mix goes to the Monotropa input. (The switch on Mix 6 lets me add the three oscillator mix to the bottom mix.)

The Monotropa output patches through four separate attenuators to each of the 4 CV inputs on Jupiter Storm. I only used the “All CV” input in this performance.

The uBurst is in granulator mode, with the Density knob setting the beat. Apparently the pitch CV input gets sampled at the start of a new grain envelope and held, so the three square waves mixed produce a sequence of up to eight random pitches.

I played with the mix and the Monotropa knobs. Notice how the output of Monotropa is listened to through uBurst, but is also used to feed back into the All CV input of Jupiter Storm. When feeding back to itself, the Monotropa can oscillate, adding a fourth pitch.

    Hi Richard! I’m building a JS now and wondering at the wiring diagram for pots given in the build guide. Are they shown from the front or back? Thanks mate!

    Hi Paolo,

    Yeah, that diagram is a bit confusing. The pots are shown as viewed from the front. The clockwise pot lug goes to #3 on the PCB to make the frequency increase by turning clockwise.
