Boolean logic opens up new ways of making your modular patches come alive. But what is Boolean logic and how do you use it on Ornament and Crime? In this video I'm going to demystify logic, explain the basic building blocks, and then give you lots of ideas with patches for Ornament and Crime.

Boolean logic, and the logic gates that are part of it, are the building blocks of all modern computers. Boolean logic was invented by English mathematician George Boole and first described in 1854. It's been around for a long time!

I also explain the TL Neuron applet in Hemispheres and how you can use it as a logic gate.

I give a very fast introduction to logic at the start of this video, but if you want to skip ahead to the good stuff then here is a timing index:

00:00 Introduction
00:46 What is boolean logic in a nutshell?
03:05 AND gate logic - make new rhythms
04:25 NOR gates to turn things off when you need to
05:49 Use logic with euclidean rhythms to make even more
07:56 Rhythmic filter modulation using logic gates

09:05 Free running LFOs into logic gates - what happens?
11:01 Clocked LFOS into logic gates
12:51 Compare and Burst applets and logic
14:36 Mixing Compare applet and logic gates
16:36 NOT gate examples - how to stop something from happening
18:49 Gate delay with logic to introduce variety

20:21 TL Neuron - threshold logic applet
22:35 Make an AND gate in TL Neuron
23:31 Make a NOT gate in TL Neuron
23:56 Clock pulse detector using TL Neuron
25:19 Two input multiplexor with TL Neuron
26:50 Thanks for watching!
