Embarassed
I can't figure out ...
Could someone help me how to do 1/x and A^x on the G2?
In other words how to divide and how to exp two signals?
I am sure there is a way ...
Thanks for the help!
ik.

No need to blush, noone could until this showed up on the NM list :

I was reading the wish list for the G2 on the electro-music forum.
Somebody asked for add, subtract, multiply, divide, square root, etc....

Hopefully they found the add, subtract, and multiply modules.

Here are two G1 patches, one does square root and the other divides. They use negative feedback to get the right answer.
These ideas should work the same on the G2.

sqrt:
the diode, two mixers, and gain control are the square root circuit. actually, it's square root of absolute value.
+16 corresponds to 1/4
the square root of 1/4 is 1/2
+32 corresponds to 1/2
the two osc's are in tune

divide:
the two mixers and the gain control are the divide.
+8 is 1/8
+16 is 1/4
(1/8)/(1/4) = (1/2)
+32 is 1/2
the two osc's are in tune

I couldn't resist, given that my day job is designing a floating point unit that does multiply, divide, and square root.

Two patches were attached, one for square root and another for division - not for a^x but something along his lines of thought should be possible.

The patches are for the NM Classic, but should be portable to the G2 with some work - as Michael already said.

Oh, great.

Now -if any owner of both a G1 and G2 would be so kind as to translate these into G2 patches for us, that would be very kind. We then could add them to the macro list, too.

Jan, I love you.

I have been looking at math sites for ages for this. Roots aren´t that hard to do iteratively if you can devide but there was no 1/n, creating the need to build one. The only text on this I could find was in a digital reprint of a c64 hacker magazine that dealt with making your own algorithems to get more data resolution(!!!) but then I got distracted and never build the rest. Now the main line of my secret plan for world domination can once again start roling starting tomorow morning.

First step will be porting this to Tassman. I´m realy sorry about that bit of heresy here but Tassman is all floating point which means it´s more suitable for my secret plans because my secret plans involve more feedback than a medium sized weather emulation.

Temporary mirror for curious lurkers.

Thanks to Jan for sending me these and the G2 port.
I´ll try a Tassman prt tomorow if there´s time.

When things are working again I'll beam the G2 ports to the snippets forum, ehm [building blocks] I mean.

Jan.
