modular listening

This one's made entirely on an Octatrack, with synth sounds and loops sampled from a Yamaha Reface CS and drum loops built on a Volca Sample, then reworked in the Octatrack.

This one's likely to end up on my EP, Lullabies For The Vintage Generation.

Octatrack - Catching Lily

Plucks and Dancing

Trying out a new 4MS SMR.  Running it in Res (Q) mode.  The level CV modulated by three LFOs from a Modcan Quad LFO in quad mode, and 4th LFO going into SMR Spread.  First LFO also multed into Wogglebug whose smooth output is fed into Cycle of Maths Channel 1, which is cycling channel 4 Maths, and CH 1 and 4 going into remaining 4MS level inputs.  Env out ch 5 on 4MS sent to Maths CH1 Both input.  A little reverb provided by my ancient Eventide DSP4000 Ultra-Harmonizer, using Big Hall preset.  Good fun.

Sorry for the high freq overdrives.  Still learning how to EQ properly.

I enjoy playing this for hours as a generative piece - it never quite gets routine.

4MS SMR Test

Similar to my other 4MS SMR test run, this experiment includes routing the audio through the Make Noise Echophon, which has its Tempo In clocked by Wogglebug which in turn has its Speed clocked from the Modcan Quad LFO using a slow Random wave.  The glitches and bursts of excitement in the Echophon make it a fun unit and crazy addition, if not a terribly reliable delay.  A little reverb added via Eventide Ultra-Harmonizer and then some compression in Logic using the stock plug in.

Denatured 4MS SMR with Echophon

Sound samples are just sound snippets produced by my modular synthesizer backuped to the cloud.

4ms SMR, 50% Res, 6 Channels.
Spread with one spacer.
Bank 1, Scale 7. (Default)
Channel 1, 2 and 4 modulated with short math cycles. Fall and Rise modulated by an envelope.
Channel 3, 5 and 6 modulated by a phase shifted sine from Batumi.

Tests with Echophone, SMR, Radio Music (Number Station Sample), WASP, some VCOs and Maths.

A 4 channel recording decoded to 2 channel UHJ Stereo
The patch is live recorded nothing added in mix.. prominent modules are 4ms STS,SMR and DLD. Morphagene is of course there.. the approach with morhpagene was to first automatically record VERY short slices then switching between them while recording current audio into them as well.. used SMR as well as Verbos barkfilter to generate CV, Batumi is another CV source... Random Source Serge DSG is also used, and some S&h to control SMS pitch and Morphagene speed. Grains from both STS and Morphagne.. DLD used to loop stuff.. Koma Poltergeist for 4 channel panning..

Ambient-drone track mainly based on the modified Omnichord OM-84 by Folktek, and my little modular system (Morphagene, Rings, Rainmaker, Clouds).

I ran Mysteron into the clouds, and that into the Spectral Multiband Resonator.

This is another MakeNoise Morphagene variation on William Cornysh's (1465-1523)tune, Ah, Robyn.  Very slow and subtle changes bring kaleidoscopic sonic/melodic shifts.
