Meska Unleashes Chaos: Random CV Mayhem with the Gotharman’s Tuul

Straight out of the gate, Meska throws us into the deep end with the Gotharman’s Tuul, showing off its ability to slap a modulator onto each channel like you’re prepping snags for a BBQ. The Tuul isn’t just another LFO machine—it’s got envelopes, sequencers, and a cross-mod section that’ll make your CV streams trip over themselves in the best way possible.

Setting up channel one, Meska dials in some envelope loops and steps, tweaking time values until the oscilloscope starts showing off a proper wave. There’s no faffing about: we get right to hearing this warped CV in action, running through basic sound paths to showcase the Tuul’s raw modulating grunt.

Here’s where things get as unpredictable as Melbourne weather. Meska taps into the Tuul’s built-in random number generators, using them to modulate parameters on both channels. Each time a step completes, a fresh random value is generated, ready to be patched straight into envelope curves or level controls.

This isn’t just randomness for its own sake—by weaving these wild numbers into the mod path, Meska shows how the Tuul can spit out truly strange CV, sending your patches off the rails in all the right ways. The creative doors swing wide open, mate, and suddenly every tweak is a ticket to new sonic territory.

With randomness baked in, Meska demonstrates how cross-modulation between channels leads to evolving, morphing CV that’s never the same twice. Even a slight nudge of one channel’s rate can send the whole patch into a different orbit, proving just how sensitive and dynamic this setup can be.

Things really get interesting when both CV outputs are routed into a stereo signal, modulating each channel’s cutoff for a wild, stereo-random ride. There’s a quick tip on taming the signal with smoothing or limiting—because sometimes the Tuul’s output is rowdier than a footy crowd on grand final day. If you want to experience the full glory (and sonic mayhem) of this cross-modulated patch, you’ll have to watch the video for yourself. Trust me, words don’t do justice to the evolving madness on offer.
