Description: Synthesis Technology E560 prototype demo. Frequency shifting with new 'rndphs' waveform. Source material: Robert Rich "Ylang" excerpt.

Some deep space atmospherics from new E370 'MorphZ+Chord' mode in the 1.6 beta firmware. 

Tech notes:  Opens with movements thru the chord tables driven by a self-patched Maths at fairly high speeds, ch4 varying the range of ch1 while another Maths lightly morphs the sound - all 3 voices from a single oscillator (leaves the other three oscillators free for other duties: another 3 LFO's or 12 voices in chord mode etc)

Percussion generated from chords selected by a clocked Pressure Points and squashed with exponential Math envelopes in a crisp Malekko Boogie filter in LPG mode. 

The 'lonely outpost' sound generated from light FMing while moving thru chords, again selected with PP.

Later chord stabs are coordinated with arpeggiated versions of the same chord, a SSM sequential switch helps rotate thru each note of the chord.

E370 is the sole sound source

Station E370

At the farthest reaches of imagination, headspace, and memory. 

Tech notes: E370 is the single sound source except for the percussive hits at the end. Explores the new chord and FM timbres made possible by the 1.6 beta firmware upgrade.

At The Farthest Reaches

TECH NOTES: A cross fade between two oscillators in 'MorphZ+Sub Mode' processed with the E520's Shimmer Reverb. 

This mode enables a secondary sub-oscillator, here a saw wave, to be set to one octave below a slowly modulated primary morphing waveform. A second modulator blends the mix of both, back and forth. 

Used the voice copy option in [Voice Settings] to clone osc1 to osc2, the clone being set one octave below the original. Slaved the XY movements of osc2 to respond to the inputs of osc1 also. These two voices slowly crossfade with a 2 phase-separated channels of the PEG controlling the 2 channels of an Optomix. 

The result is fed into a E520 Shimmer Reverb patch where an slow internal LFO (@ 1 BPM) modulates the Reverb Time parameter.

Four transformed elements then a complete track, "After the Flood"

1. 'Resampled Reverb': Crystal - E370 square wave chord, woggling resample parm
2. plain saw wave thru 'Spectral Sweep' - makes a nice background layer
3. kik pattern used in track sent thru 'SeqWah' bandpass, high filter Rez for texture
4. chord sequence from E370 also via 'SeqWah' & then extreme high pass filter

Ylang rndphs

Screwing around on a Saturday, avoiding homework...

Theory 11.24.2018

The E370 firmware 1.3 update provides new detune functionality allowing the user to manually detune each oscillator when in chord mode. It also includes a ROM4 table, "Harmonic" with embedded microtones represented by decimal offsets.

The piece opens (and closes) with a manually detuned (i.e. set by knobs) chord using notes selected from one line of a custom table of open octaves and fifths . A clocked Pressure points generates a pattern of 4 rapidly moving transpositions of this chord(the first is audible around :15) The first half is built around several pitch, timbral & rhythm variations of this pattern interacting with each other and various high & low speed FM manipulations via the cv-x1 input, reassigned as an FM source in the 'Frequencies' page. This later includes rotating the chord table  as each PP transposition occurs , generating new frequencies. One of these patterns is executed in the E370's 'Cloud mode.' Some parts are treated with the E560 Deflector Shield in 'phase' mode.

The second half (2:45) focuses on various manual pitch modulations provided by the Doepfer A-185-2 to the 1v input of the oscillator1 in chord mode, based on the 'Harmonic Table' in Rom4. One of the responding modulations is routed thru a E580 delay to provide a 'far-away' echo feeling.

Generally stuck with simple SINE and TRI waveforms as I knew polyphony and FM modulation would add substantial harmonic complexity.

Endgame (E370)

Another experiment with a "Music For Airports" style composition technique, using parallel loops with prime numbers of beats.

13 looped notes of the G major scale, from a Moog synthesizer, with E3 as the lowest note. Each note is assigned a different prime number of beats before it loops (i.e. 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 beats). 

ValhallaDelay is used for delay, reverb, pitched reverbs, wow & flutter.
