Patch Notes:

A Castle jam with subtle modulation to the both the operator wave shape and levels to add movement and rhythmic emphasis. 

With the Castle’s 4 operators in series, a random voltage from Pam is patched to the wave CV input of operator 3, rhythmically altering the timbre of the swelling FM over operator 4.

A pitch sequence is patched to Osc B, layering with the droning Osc A to create dual voice harmonies.

The x1 and x2 outs of the Pexp-1 are patched to the level CV inputs of operators 2 and 1 respectively, altering the sound of the wave shape modulation down stream as operator 3 is FM’d.

Beat provided by Squid Salmple filtered by the MUM M8.

--- Patch Notes ---
4 voices (Plaits, Rings, Mangrove and Erica Pico Voice). Sequenced from Korg SQ1 and Pressure Points. Modulation from Octocontroller, Peaks, Wogglebug and Just Friends. 

Voice 1: Mangrove (main melody). Formant oscillator adjusted by Pressure Points creating 'folded' melodies. Sequencing from Korg SQ1. Processed through 3 sisters filter and Optomix. Modulated by Peaks and Octocontroller.

Voice 2: Rings (high drone) is using Wogglebug woggle out into external in (set to sympathetic string mode). Sequenced by Pressure Points. Modulated by Just Friends and Peaks.

Voice 3: Plaits (low drone) using dual wave mode. Sequenced by Pressure Points. Processed by Ripples. Modulated by Just Friends.

Voice 4: Pico Voice (second melody) set to PWM mode (high melody that comes in later on in track). Sequencing from Korg SQ1. Processed by Optomix. Modulated by Octocontroller.

All channels mixed live/realtime using Lifeforms mixer (with Clouds looping delay on fx send).

Stereo recording straight from Lifeforms out into Zoom recorder (+ little bit of EQ and Compression added in DAW).

SEQUENCING: 
All pitch sequencing from Marbles feeding Quantimator (in Shift Register mode). 

Left Lead and Right Lead envelopes triggered from Branches (triggered by Marbles clock out).

Tides/RxMx modulated using Marbles voltage outputs and slewed output from Noise Tools.

PROCESSING/MODULATION: 
Chronoblob (with time and hold modulation) treatments on Left Lead and Right Lead.

Here's my first pairing of the SoMa Lyra-8 and the new Chase Bliss MOOD. I'm working currently with minimalist tunings for the Lyra, and enjoying exploring the way different feedback loops transform them. This was done with a modified DADGAD tuning. The MOOD was in tape delay mode to give nice tails to the Lyra, while momentarily recorded loops were Stretched underneath.

Prepared Eurorack system patch with Guitar improvisation.

- - - - Patch Notes - - - -
Extensive use of Make Noise RxMx, Mutable Tides, Mannequins Mangrove, Telecaster and EHX Attack Decay. Reverb is OTO BAM. Delay is Strymon DIG

Guitar is fed through Attack Decay with pitch shifter in FX Loop for 'shimmer' type pad sounds.

Recorded stereo out from Mixer into Zoom Handy Recorder. Mastered in Ableton.

Ambient track created on Eurorack modular system (and mixed on Mackie 1202). Tracked, recorded and performed live to Zoom recorder.

Rene 2(modulated by Pressure Points) is the main sequencing element, driving the melody and bass voices. Pressure points is modulating Transpose and Snake mod functions on Rene.

Mangrove and Instruo Ts-L are the main voice modules (processed by 3 Sisters and Ripples). Mangrove controlled by mutable ears envelope into Mangrove formant for 'manual transpose' flourishes. Morphagene acting as looping/sampling delay.

Reverbs from OTO BAM and echoes from Strymon DIG and Make Noise Morphagene.
