dammit there's something addictive to this evolving melody.. i keep coming back to this track ;)

beautiful stuff i run into on muffwigglers or just browsing soundcloud looking for module demos etc.

modular synth pieces

A pair of Functions generating arpeggios quantized by A156, through FM'd A188.

Function Arpeggios

demo of Synthesis Tech E340/E350 polar opposites

E340/E350 experiment

This sound is mostly Morphing Terrarium through Z2040. The arpeggios come from a quantized Function - the Rise parameter being modulated so the melody seems less repetitive. Then there's a bit of 188 just to add density. This is recorded straight to Logic Pro X with a notch of ValhallaÜberMod for width. Logically, this sounds a bit like Robert Rich's modular sequences :-)

2 Track live. I boiled my system down to 1 6u case to play with a Qunexus.  Besides a little reverb, all the ambience is provided by the Wow and Flutter, which is on the "lead".  The envelope follower seems to push the delays slower into nearly inaudible range while the line is playing and then springs back in the gaps. Also, the WET output feeds an LPG to create the "tuned percussion".  The lead line itself is e350 played through an SOB.  Qunexus pitch straight into the 1v/oct, gate into the SOB vactrol input.
I used the PTG to "pluck" the Verbos filter (verbos vactrol response very fast by itself) The extra control and life the PTG brings makes me wish SSF would just make a damn LPG. Pressure points/brains combo plays with the snare pitch and fm amount. SSF mix mode saturation is all over the place..the Verbos also saturates nice too.

Clock - Noisering
Triggers - Triggerman
HiHats - TipTop808
Low end - Subcon M15 Fm'd by the morph output of 2nd M15 through Verbos amplitude and tone controller.  
Snare/Rim - subcon m37 fm'd a bit, optomix.
Tuned Percussion - WET output of Wow and Flutter through optomix. 
Main Line - e350 morphed by slew'd Noisering.  Filtered by SOB. Run through Wow and Flutter.

Fields

A pensive semi-ambient track, based on an 8-bar mostly generative sequence that changes slightly with each repetition.

The sequencer is generated by using a Doepfer A189-1 in XOR mode (mode 4) to transform the Verbos Voltage Multistage's Ref output into a more complex pattern, which is then quantised to form a melody. The VM's two CV outputs drive the A189-1's BC CV and a VCA between the Ref output and the A189-1's signal in. This means that each step of the VM has a different variation of the main melody, creating an 8-bar motif with common elements. The Ref out also pings a PEG channel, which is used as a clock multiplier to get 8th notes to trigger the A156 quantiser.

Further variation comes from the fact that the CV driving the VCA that attenuates the Ref output ALSO goes through a VCA! This is modulated by an A149-1's 2^n output, which is clocked every 8 bars to introduce slight random variation into the range of the melody.

The main melody is played by a Braids in WTBL mode, using its internal envelope to drive its own VCA as well as Timbre, into Erbe Verb. The Color is modulated by the A149-1's bottom half, clocked so that each bar is played using a different wavetable.

There's also a sort of bassline sequence that chugs away (Rubicon saw, double saw and sub into Pitts Filter), using Klasmata to vary its rhythmic sequence (with Klasmata's Fill CV driven by VM's CVb). Finally, there's a dirty kick drum (Pitts Generator into Optomix, opened by Maths) and hi-hats (white noise through resonant HPF into Optomix). The rhythms of those come from a combination of clock dividers, logic and Turing Machine.

Instant Fantasy (the musical username of Gemma Syme) brings you some sexual hypno-drone in The Wet EP; songs about tears, getting moist and that sweat you forgot about that happens when you sleep next to another person. Though the songs are sad they give a sense of freedom; post-orgasm after breaking up with someone. It’s all gold for this synth drone ego-miner.

I Don't See An Honest Man

A track I didn't like much that I wrote this weekend, so I reversed it and now I like it more.

Jet Jaguar - Heaven Knows (demo)

Here I take the Micromac through the paces, focusing more on the ambient/surreal side of the synthesizer, but there's percussion, bass, leads, FM madness and fx, etc.- something for everyone to enjoy. Everything is 100% Micromac... played by hand or self-generated, sorry for sloppiness at times. I've added reverb, delay, and compression to taste, and I've layered takes in some places; I wanted to provide musical context rather than some alienated melody line. This is by far the most amazing synthesizer I've ever played and I hope this demo reflects a fraction of my awe. Ken Macbeth has created a brilliant product! Hope you enjoy this demo.
