Logic Boxes

Logic Boxes are modular nodes that fire “pulse” signals to other devices, turning Audiocube into a generative sequencer.

By chaining Logic Boxes together - and driving them with Tickers - you can build random, evolving, or tightly timed patterns that trigger Samplers, Emitters, or other Logic Boxes.

Logic Box Modes

There are 6 Logic Box modes

Mode	Behaviour	Typical Use
Pulse	Emits a single pulse to every connected device.	Manual one-shot triggers.
Chain	Waits Chain Time (s), then pulses all connections.	Delayed cascades.
Chord	Pulses all connections instantly (identical to Pulse for now).	Chord-like bursts.
Split	Randomly pulses one connection.	Aleatoric / probabilistic routing.
Cycle	Sequentially pulses each connection, spaced by Cycle Time (s).	Round-robin or arpeggio patterns.
Stopper	Sends a stop signal to every connection—cancels audio or events.	Emergency kills, gate resets.

Creating a Logic Box

Method	Shortcut
Add Menu	Drag the Logic Box icon into the scene.
Hotkey	Shift + Alt + B at the mouse cursor.

Moving, Deleting & Connecting

Task	Gesture
Move	Click-drag the box.
Delete	Hold Delete/Backspace and click the box.
Enter Connection Mode	Double-click the box
Make Connections	When in connection mode, click other devices to connect the logic box
Exit Connection Mode	Click back on the logic box.

Device Editor Controls

Open Device Editor > Logic Box to access the main editing controls.

Control	Function
Logic Type	Select Pulse, Chain, etc.
Play / Stop	Manual trigger or halt of the box.
Connection Mode	Enter/exit connection mode from the panel.
Disconnect	Break all connections.
Clone / Delete	Duplicate or remove the Logic Box.
Chain Time (s)	Delay before firing (Chain mode).
Cycle Time (s)	Gap between pulses (Cycle mode).

Quick-Start Workflow

Add sources – place a few Samplers or Emitters.
Create a Ticker – this is the timing engine.
Add Logic Boxes – start with one Pulse box.
Connect – link the Ticker → Pulse box; enable the Ticker.
Branch – connect the Pulse box → Split box → two Chain boxes.
Route outputs – each Chain box → a different audio device.

The Split box now chooses a destination at random; each chosen path is delayed by its Chain Time before sounding - an instant generative system.

This is just a siple example of how logic boxes can be used. In reality, there is an endless amount of creative potential, and you can create huge, multi layered networks of signals to create endlessly evolving, organic compositons!
