My Eurorack Modular Explorations

0coast

First test of my newly arrived Mutable Instruments Rings module. Rings is being processed by the MI Clouds module. Additional sounds from MI Elements. Rings and Elements are being "influenced" by the Make Noise Richter Wogglebug and sequenced by two Moog Mother-32s (no sounds are being used from the Mother-32s. No other sounds, effects or post-processing was done on this track.) Video version of this track found here - https://youtu.be/W3gc860ELs8


A Simple Beauty

A Simple Beauty - Mutable Instruments Rings First Test

This is a simple example of me manually playing my small Eurorack setup in a live improv session. I wanted to explore how I can play this as a self-contained instrument with no sequencers or external effects. I only wish I had two (or more) Make Noise Pressure Points in order to have more than 4 notes to play...

And speaking of Pressure Points, the top row of knobs/tunings is being sent to the Mutable Instruments Rings module (which is then going into the Mutable Instruments Clouds module) and the middle row of knobs/tunings is being sent to the Mutable Instruments Elements. So when I play a touchpad on the Pressure Points, it is sending two different tunings to the two Modules. If I had a third voice, I can send the bottom row a different tuning as well.

Another live performance test, this time introducing the Mutable Instruments Braids module into the mix, along with Elements, Rings and Clouds. All modules being "influenced" by the Make Noise Richter Wogglebug. Played live in one take with no additional overdubs, external sounds or effects. Video version (with additional bonus part) found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7e9a5X_X_E

Mutable Instruments Braids + Elements + Rings + Clouds

Mutable Instruments Braids into Rings into Clouds. Make Noise Richter Wogglebug providing influence.

This was just a quick, spur-of-the-moment test of my newly acquired, custom mirror-polished Radio Music module from Magpie Modular. I had just gotten home after an 8 hour day of work and a 3 and a half hour modular synth concert. I was tired... but inspired! Patch Notes: Radio Music into Mutable Instruments Elements, Braids into Rings then into Clouds. Make Noise Richter Wogglebug providing influence over Rings "Dampening" and "Position" and Clouds "Density" and "Size". Video version found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sI7pyyIq4M

2:00AM Experimental Ambient Session

Using the slope as an oscillator, one can tweak the size of the cycle to change the relative pitch compared to the original osc. By doing this, it gives the impression of two instruments playing separately.

0-coast is sequenced by wogglebug (w manual & automatic intervention via attenuators & quantizer) & branches for cv & gate respectively, slow LFO from maths opening the decay on 0-coast while decreasing the probability of gates from branches.  drone is 4xSTOs w/ their shapes being modified by E102 & the shaped outputs mixed thru QMMG.  erbeverb, phonogene & strymon el capistan on aux sends

Dark Explorations: Eurorack + Make Noise 0-Coast

Midi note control still works on the Make Noise 0Coast that is patched to a classic Krell patch. Little bit melodic and little bit chaotic.... just the way I like it.
