Richter Oscillator II SAW 2 added here ! ... giving the phasy effect.

I swear - you should be hired by Malekko, cuz you make their stuff sound SOOOOO good

The melodic pattern is generated by a Turing Machine (Random Loop Sequencer) passed through a Toppobrillo Quantimator quantizer.

The sound source is a Malekko/Richter Oscillator II. SAW 1 and SAW 2 outputs are mixed together, but I've modified several times the amount of SAW 2 to accentuate or remove the phasy effect. SAW 2 is phase modulated by a slow LFO.

The vocal-like filtering is a Malekko/Wiard Borg 1 filter (the white one with the slow vactrols) with the jumper removed on the PCB, in BP mode.

The VCA is a Cwejman VCA-2P in linear mode driven by a Malekko/Wiard Envelator whose D-Mod knob is hand modified during the sequence, morphinig from staccato to organic-like envelope shape.

Recorded with a MIO2882 in Ableton Live 9 with a delay effect and a touch of The Glue compressor for good measure.

A track created with the Gaston Nonlinear Dynamics system

Nonlinear Dynamics

These tracks compare the difference between the Pro Mini Parabolic Stereo PIP Microphone to the larger Pro Mono-Stereo Microphone. The Pro Mini gives semi narrow stereo image, while the Pro Mono provides a nice isolated subject. Adding in the Stereo Microphones of the Pro Mono-Stereo gives a wider field of view than the Pro Mini.
