Bruxism

[summer had reached its end]
we mustn’t forget the terms of regret:
(the only ones left)
sun’s out–day's not over yet
and as smoke betrays the rays of dawn 
brisk morning air unveils heaving scum
and they’re incapable, they hesitate
you see, 
they proceed

This track was made limiting myself to one particular synth (and drums) and designing all patches from scratch. 

The synth in question is the Arturia Mini V3, an emulation of the classic Minimoog Model D. This is a very simple synth with 3 oscillators and one low-pass filter. It features very limited modulation capabilities and only has basic (virtual) analog waveforms. If you want clean sounds, it is actually quite nice, like for making songs reminiscent of chiptune. 

One particular oddity of this synth is that the mod wheel controls all modulation (well, there are only two possibilities), and frankly, this doesn't play so nice with modern audio workstations.

One feature worth mentioning is that sound from an external source can be routed back into the synth's filter. I use it in one instance to run a sound produced by one instance through effects and back into the filter of a second instance. (How decadent.)

Anyway, it was a fun exercise and I learned a few things along the way.

The title references the fact that the original hardware was a monophonic synth. One sound at a time.
