Nuthatch Foraging

"Create a feedback patch using no less than 3 modules.  Feel free to extend this using several more modules or multiple feedback patches. You are not restricted from using other gear, but modular synths must be used. "

Morphagene -> QPAS -> Mimeophon -> Morphagene

This patch uses a single splice from a Morphagene reel I created by sampling an antique xylophone I have. The Morphagene is patched both to the QPAS with the LP filter from the QPAS to the Mimeophone and then one stereo out back to the morphagene with the other out to the recording. The Mimeophone is toggled off and on of hold mode by the Morphagene end of slice and is set to a longer zone. These two things prevent the feedback from creating a tone. The attenuation is changed throughout the piece to let the straight feedback through.

During the recording the Morphagene is changed to TLA mode with the varispeed pitched so that it is recording the feedback higher and higher on top of itself.
