I love the cascading effects here. It sounds like you and King Tubby were jamming. Taiga in full effect!

I made a little demonstration video about Insanity Samples' Celle ONE virtual instrument - for a post on a composer forum. As part of that I challenged myself to record a mini demo under 15 minutes. This is what I came up with, for better or worse. All a bit silly and as usual I may not be doing the instrument any favours.

Instruments used:

- Insanity Samples Cello ONE legato patch with staccato overlay

- synth patches all from Simon Stockhausen's Falcon Singles bundle (which is a stellar collection and the pinnacle of sample based sound design in UVI Falcon):

1) Patchpool Falcon Singles library Ambient Piano - patch: Mixolydian Cloud

2) Patchpool Falcon Singles library Frame Drums - patch: FD Mallets & Slaps RR4

3) Patchpool Falcon Singles library HANG - patch: Clay Bass

Du Spinnst Doch, Oder?

Here is a jam recorded as a single mono track, then mixed to stereo, using the Pittsburgh Modular TAIGA and their phaser module The Toad. Also used were Erica Synths' Polivoks filter and various guitar pedals - an all analogue signal path, albeit one recorded to digital.

I opened the amp for a continuous drone and then played with the parameters. So, if nothing else, this gives a reasonable sense of some of the things that can be done with The Toad Eurorack module.

Note that The Toad can be used for stereo processing from a mono input. It has two outputs; one is at the seventh stage of phasing, the other at the twelfth. I didn't do that in this case.
