One VCO challenge. But, I guess a bit of a cheat. It’s a plaits with an LFO (from the Pico VCO set to LFO mode) modulating the model so you get lots of different sounds. Then it’s using a microcosm for effects.

I have a doepfer quad LFO module that does square or triangle waves. I used a square wave LFO to trigger a random gate module which triggers an envelope generator which controls a VCA and a VCF to sculpt the plaits sound a bit.

I spent the morning tweaking the plaits and microcosm small amounts and ended up with quite a nice chill soundscape.

It really begins to develop after the first 10-20 mins after I add more modulation!

I do enjoy recording the whole process.

Edit: removed a part of the upload where plugged my phone in and it interrupted the recording!

Check links for Spotify/Bandcamp.

I post my released music, some unreleased/unofficial stuff, and also some odd eurorack/modular sketches. You have been warned.
