Modular Jams

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

modular synth pieces

demo of Synthesis Tech E340/E350 polar opposites

E340/E350 experiment

Death Shadow - 005 | Croatian Amor & Lust For Youth - Pomegranate LP out 01/2014

Croatian Amor & Lust For Youth - Sister

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.

todays melodic patch! I figured I need to tune all oscillators properly and then came up with a dual wave drone through the erbe verb. The whole patch is inspired by the metropolis sequence which drives a braids in CSAW. I video taped it - thought i'd be more fun than pure audio.

Jasper Walden - Descent

Generative patch with lead voice created by wave folding a filtered oscillator.

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.

So I wanted to make a cool demo of this great synth but I had so much fun (as it is just one of those synth gems that brings out the creativity), that I mad an entire compilation of musical demos. Now the thing to know is that every single sound you hear (all synths, fx and drums)are made from only the AJH Minimod. I did not use any other modules at all other then one spring reverb a couple of times but that is it. Everything i did was all contained within the Minimod system itself. I have had a few Minimoogs in my time and they did such a great job that it felt very comfortable as if I was playing a Minimoog from the days of old. Then you add the modular functions and it just opens it up into new territory! I always had fun making drums on my old Minimoog(first synth i ever bought) but with the modular aspect I was very impressed how well i could make some cool drum sounds. 
So what i did was just jam out an idea then record into Digital Performer. Then just make a new sound and repeat(overdub) until I had enough parts for a song to arrange( and quantize lol). Sorry if  Here is a list of what I used:
AJH Minimod Complete System ( all sounds)
Intellijel Springray ( for occasional reverb)
Arturia MicroBrute ( controller and sequencer)
Digital Performer w/ 828Mk2( recording and fx)
Plug ins I used:
Waves SSL and API
Sound Toys
Audio Damage assortment
I hope you enjoy as much as I had fun making these little demos to really show all my favorite genres of music that made the Minimoog famous. 
Cheers!

Walls of Berlin

Interesting take on a generative modular synth patch based on a polyphonic Krell patch.
Logic and voltage quantizers are used to snap the modulation voltages to musical rhythmic and pitch values.
