DFAMY 0-Coast PATCHABLE-00017

Created for New York Modular Society Patchable 0017. 

The challenge was to create a modular drum machine and create all percussion noises from scratch.

 This is really a break down of the audio path mini most modulation.

Using tons of envelopes, a lot of sample & hold and some floss for modulation.

My submission for the New York Modular Society's RE: DRUM MACHINE patchable contest. The idea is to compose a drum track with a modular synthesizer--but WITHOUT using drum modules. So all the sounds come from oscillators or noise. (The artwork is my original watercolor of the undercarriage of the Gowanus Expressway).

Here's the details:

Voice 1 (bass drum): Low pitch sin VCO amplified by a fast envelope modulating Lin FM on STO, through North Coast Coiler VCF with a slower envelope and an even slower envelope on the last VCA. Through Pico DSP mono delay and (sometimes aux Mimeophon too). Triggered by Out 1 from a White Gallop, with CV from Voltage Block.

Voice 2 (hi hat): Blue noise from Dystopia. Filter and VCA receiving same envelope. Triggered by Out 2 on White Gallop. Pico DSP mono delay.

Voice 3 (snare): Bitcrush from Dystopia. Triggered by Muxlicer in ratchet mode (sequencer slide pots determine multiple gates per beat, which can be attenuated globally). Gates 3 and 7 add accents to the Dystopia cv in. Maths envelope receiving cv on fall from tilt Y on WiiChuck for WILD CRUNCHES. Pico DSP mono delay.

Voice 4 (wailing metal chimes). Hi pitch sin VCO FMing uPlaits in waveshaping mode with low waveform, low folder and high asymmetry. CV from Voltage Block. Gates from a Non Linear Circuits Divine CMOS (XOR clocked between X4 and /2). The /4 output triggers the FM envelope, while the sum output triggers the audio envelope. Audio amplified by a Maths envelope receiving cv on fall from Wiichuck Tilt X. Through Mimeophon, orange zone, which is clocked and modulated on color (half bright full positive attenuator) and rate at 10 o’clock with 3 pm attenuation and skew.

Voice 5 (zap gun): IO Instruments Euporie VCF self resonating, receiving the same audio as the bass drum FM source into CV one and the same envelope from the Tilt X modulated Maths into CV2. Sweeping the cutoff to launch intergalactic civil war. Pico DSP mono delay.

If you're listening to the Patchable Gauntlet in order, this is actually the first one I ever did. Patch notes at https://nyms.love/2020/08/03/patchable-0017/
