Hello, I’m Defense Mechanism! Welcome back to Intense Tech, where we take an in-depth look at some of the features of LSDj to both help you level up your understanding and your skills as an artist!
 +
 +
In last month’s lesson, we looked at the wave synth. We’ll be detouring away from wave synthesis for a couple lessons, but we’ll return after we lay the groundwork for an exciting wave synth lesson! This month, we’ll take a look at the Z command for LSDj and explore how it can spice up your life!

Like the LSDj Wave synth which we looked at in the last two tutorials, the perplexing Z command is often misunderstood. Let’s clear the matter up with some fun demonstrations of creative uses of the Z command. By the end of this lesson, you’ll be armed with a load of new techniques for adding some controlled chaos to your compositions!
 +
 +
To begin, let’s take to the LSDj manual (version 6), to get at exactly what the Z command is:
 +
 +
    Z: RandomiZe
 +
    The Z command repeats the last non-Z command, adding a random number to the original command value. The Z value controls the maximum value of each digit to be added.
 +
 +
Now, let’s get right into learning via example:
 +
 +
Random Vibrato
 +
{{Video:http://chipwiki.ru/music/intensetechwithdefencemech/3-1.mp4|width=320}}
 +
 +
For the first example, I’ll break things down step by step. On step 0, we have a note with a V00 command. Every other step afterwards, we have the same note with a Z03 command. Since the last non-Z command was V, each Z03 will act as another V command, applying one value out of four possible values: either V00 again, V01, V02, or V03. However, it will not add to or otherwise affect the previous Z command – so you can’t randomize a Z command itself.
 +
 +
Random Duty Cycle
 +
 +
It may not entirely make sense at first how the Z command could apply to a case like pulse duty cycle, since the W command uses graphical values instead of numbers, but rest assured it works very well.
 +
 +
12.5% pulse width = 00<br/>
 +
25% pulse width = 01<br/>
 +
50% pulse width = 02<br/>
 +
75% pulse width = 03<br/>
 +
 +
{{Video:http://chipwiki.ru/music/intensetechwithdefencemech/3-2.mp4|width=320}}
 +
 +
In this example, we are alternating between left-only and right-only panning. However, if we wanted to randomly choose between both channels on, left channel only, and right channel only, we would set our initial O command to OL_, then use successive Z02 commands.
 +
 +
In version 6, the Z command also works in tables, where it will randomize the last effect used in the table. Randomly alternating between OLR and O__ can be used on a table for an instrument with Automate=ON for a random gating effect, as shown here:
 +
 +
{{Video:http://chipwiki.ru/music/intensetechwithdefencemech/3-3.mp4|width=320}}
 +
 +
In this case and in the case of pulse duty cycle changes above, if the range of the Z command exceeds these 4 values, the value will be the remainder after the Z value is divided by 4. For example, if Z17 randomly applies the value of 17 to our P or O command, 17 divides into 4 4 times (16) while leaving a remainder of 1, so this Z command would apply the same effect as it would if it were applying the value of 01.
 +
 +
Random Melody
 +
 +
Let’s note the second part of the LSDj manual’s description of the Z command, where it states that Z controls “the maximum value of each digit to be added.” This means that each digit of the Z command functions independently of the other.
 +
 +
Example:
 +
* Z02 adds one of 0, 1, 2 to the original value
 +
* Z20 adds one of 0, 10, 20 to the original value.
 +
* Z22 adds one of 0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22 to the original value.
 +
Note: Randomize does not work with Hop, Groove and Delay commands at the moment.
 +
 +
This can be useful in cases where we want to randomize pitch, for instance using the F command. Fxy controls pulse finetune with the second digit y, and the first digit x controls the tuning for pulse channel 2. x represents how many semitones (half-steps) should be added to the current note. So by applying ZF0, we can randomize a melody, but only in pulse channel 2. Each Z command will add any note in between and including our current note to an octave plus a major third above it.
 +
 +

 +
 +
Random Chords
 +
 +
In LSDj version 4, the digits in the Z commands were not independent of one another, which makes using Z with the C (Chord) command less useful, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get some interesting sounds out of it. With the independence version 6 introduced, it’s possible to gain more control so that, for instance, chords can randomly alternate between major and minor. A minor chord is created with C37, and a major chord is created with C47. Therefore, if we use a C37 command and apply Z10, the Z command will apply either C37 or C47.

 +
 +
 +
Random Sweep
 +
 +
Our final example is a signature Hypnogram sound (listen at the 1:30 mark to hear it in context). It’s really fun and easy. Keep in mind that this lead sound will only work in Pulse channel 1 as it’s the only channel that features a hardware sweep.
 +

 +
 +
These are just a few examples of what you can do with the Z command. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try to come up with your own! Until next time, this is DEFENSE MECHANISM signing off!
