Name: VCNoiz demo polivoks by Psyche's Lantern
Duration: 7 min 43 s
Description: HEXINVERTER.NET vcNOIZ /4 into a Harvestman Polivoks. The cutoff on the filter and the lin cv on the vcNOIZ are each being modulated by an LFO from a Maths. There is a touch of reverb on the vcNOIZ for most of the track. Additional sounds by Piston Honda ring-modulated through an xmix with ZDSP delay.

Shared System Patch. Modules used: Erbe-Verb, DPO, Echophon, Rene, Pressure Points, Optomix, Phonogene. I chose not to use a Maths or Wogglebug. I really wanted everything to be under direct control.

The Phonogene contained a previous Shared System sound. Its End of Slice output was patched to both an Optomix strike (with Phonogene's output as input), and the Rene's X-Clk input. Rene's output was changing the organization of the Phonogene.

Various points were manually controlled by Pressure Points. Channel 2 of the Optomix was a DPO drone. Optomix out->Echophon->Erbe-Verb->Stereo Out.

Jean-Sébastien Truchy - Transmission in an Expanse of Firelight, Hear Me!
Edition of 300 LP / Digital Download

Worldwide: September 16, 2016

A linchpin of Montreal’s experimental community for over two decades, Jean-Sébastien Truchy has performed with Fly Pan Am, Set Fire to Flames and Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche among countless others as well as co-running the presently defunct Los Discos Enfantasmes label. After a string of tape releases on LDE, Digitalis, Sic Sic & others, Transmission in an Expanse of Firelight, Hear Me! is Truchy’s first proper full length record. Combining elements of Musique concrète, field recordings, plaintive MIDI strings and emotive vocals Transmission… unfolds like a stage production or opera in which all the characters are refracted into one. In his own words “I try to look at sounds and structures as neutral elements that have not yet been categorized by preconceived thoughts, judgement and/or taste - to apply the idea of emptiness to sounds, structure and form.”

OMG, my modular synth thinks it's a guitar hero! Send help!

Patch notes:

The guitar lines (clean, distorted and reversed) initially came from a Mutable Instruments Rings, sequenced by a Makenoise Rene. The X axis on the Rene was synchronized with the beat via a signal sent from Cubase via Silent Way, one of my Apollos and an Expert Sleepers ES3. The Y axis was clocked by the burst output on a Wogglebug. I was playing the sequencer, rings and Wogglebug via their controls. Audio was recorded from the modular via an ES6.

As for the rest of the track, some of the drums were programmed in Cubase, the rest played by hand (djembe, congas and extra kick/snare fills) on a Roland HPD-20. The bass is actually me playing a Chapman Stick (for realz! Gosh, the shock of the thing!), plugged into the HI-Z ins on one of the Apollos. The synth pads are a custom patch on my Roland JP-8080, noodled real-time.

The mix uses a metric assload of UAD plugins -- SSL channel strips pretty much everywhere, a couple of Shadow Hills mastering compressors (ab)used for various things, several Lexicon 224 instances gave us all the reverb. Delays were just the simple ping-pong delay that ships with Cubase by default. This isn't really a properly mastered thing, it's just the UAD SSL bus compressor into the UAD precision limiter.

This was all a bit of fun, mostly just testing new (and very old) equipment. And the first time I've played bass on something in years, particularly in terms of Stick. :-)

One Ring

Using the IME Argos Bleak with its four channels arranged in a closed feedback loop, with delay. Absolutely no CV input to Argos bleak's quantizer is used, all pitch signals are generated through the feedback process. Synthwerks FSR-4 is used to control delay enable, quantizer enable, chord selection, and output rotation. The CV outputs control 1x Hertz Donut MKII and 1x Piston Honda MKII with low art enforcement provided by a Malgorithm MKII.

Argos Bleak Internal CV Feedback

Short Clip of a Poly Patch I designed on Elektron Analog Keys in response to the Elektronauts forum discussion as to whether the A4/keys can do what some consider to be 'warm' pad sounds,

One patch under discussion was the Omnisphere 2 patch 'Gorgeous Analogue Pad Dark'. The Omni Patch uses a Unison Mode to multiply/detune and pan out the Oscillators across the stereo spread. (one saw/one pulse). LFO Modulation of pitch and pulse width is also used. A4/keys can only play single notes when it uses Unison mode, so a different method to the Omni Patch needs to be used across the 4 tracks as well as subtle use of the built in FX. The patch here is what I consider to be analogue retro sounding.

Synth recorded directly live with no post.

Hertz Donut MKIII - Rythm & Drone

Test of Bionic Lester Mark III prototype (dual 12db/oct multimode digital filter with voltage controlled preset manager). Input signal is Piston Honda mark III in unison with LFO modulation of wavetable position.  Only one filter section is used. The input overdrive, resonance, and output mode mixing (continuous from LP -> BP -> HP -> notch -> allpass) are modulated manually. The cutoff frequency is modulated by a velocity-sensitive ADSR envelope from the Andore Jr. prototype sequenced by a Stillson Hammer mark II.

FACT mix 349 - Silent Servant (Oct '12)

HEXINVERTER.NET vcNOIZ /4 into a Harvestman Polivoks. The cutoff on the filter and the lin cv on the vcNOIZ are each being modulated by an LFO from a Maths. There is a touch of reverb on the vcNOIZ for most of the track. Additional sounds by Piston Honda ring-modulated through an xmix with ZDSP delay.

A trigger signal multed to the preset inputs of all IME modules in a basic voice patch (Hertz Donut and Piston Honda into Bionic Lester, modulated by Kermit) with all modules responding to triggers with random patch generation.
