i've compiled a list of demos and tracks involving Cwejman filters, for convenience of coming back back and re-listen to all in one place.  this happened while i was deciding for which filters should i get onboard their waiting lists.  

edit update: in past two years, i have managed to get a new RES-4 from Maho,  and find DMF-2 and MMF-6 used.

Cwejman Filters

Cwejman patches

Just a small demo soundscape/texture. Instruments: eurorack modular synth (Cwejman, MakeNoise, MOTM, Malekko/Wiard modules), Kurzweil KSP8 effects processor. Production: Ableton Live 8. Main modules used : MMF-6 (as a SINE osc), E350 (as an LFO), ModDemix (for sideband), RES-4 (for vocal effects), Sport Modularor (as ... a semi random modulator).
Enjoy !


Voices inside

This is a 4-voice polyphonic patch showcasing the Cwejman QMMF-4 and Modcan Quad LFO (a love made in heaven!)

The chords are played live through a MIDI keyboard going into a MI Yarns. CV is routed to 4 Cwejman VCO-6 oscillators. Their SAW outputs are going through 4 SuperSawtors and are then inserted in the individual audio inputs of the QMMF-4.

Envelopes are handled by two Modcan Quad envelopes, one going into the MX-4S and one connected to the CM2 inputs of the QMMF-4. A PH-4 modulates the panning of the MX-4S.

The Modcan Quad LFO is set to "Quad mode" and inserted in the CM1 inputs of the QMMF-4. 

All patches in the first two tracks are done with this set-up. Changes in timbre are happening by the different LFO settings and rates of the Modcan Quad LFO.  Some excerpts are done with the QMMF-4 in RES mode, some in OSC/SAT mode. I use BP and LF.

There's a RG-6 connected to the main audio input of the QMMF-4. It's positive saw output creates the random clicks in some of the excerpts.  

The third track has the MI Yarns set to 4 stacked mono voices. You hear audio rate modulation of the Modcan LFO being lowered to LFO duties. 

Sorry for the lack of musical content and my clumsy keyboard playing, this is merely a showcase for some of the timbre options of the QMMF-4.

This is a short story (11 tracks - 33 min) of the year of my life (June 2015- June 2016). Reactions and reflections about some events that happened to me in that period of time associated with one person who is really important and close to me. Changes in emotional state are partly in parallel with the changing seasons (summer-autumn-winter-spring-summer).

03 Silent Passion

ARP sequence featuring the glorious Cwejman MMF-1s filter in 12db/oct mode.

A Yarns is in ARP mode and feeding pitch to a Cwejman VCO-2RM. This is routed into a Cwejman MMF-1s in 12dB/oct low pass mode. I play the chords live via MIDI keyboard. 
The MMF-1s is modulated by the ADSR-VC2 (CV1) and gets subtle modulation on CV2 and Q-peak via a D-LFO in random mode.
The attacks of the ADSR-VC2 are also modulated a bit via the Modcan Quad LFO. 
The MMF-1s is set to subtle saturation and 2nd harm distortion.
Last part of the signal route: VCA-MX4 -> MX-4S -> AI-2 -> Prism AD -> Protools. Bit of Adaptiverb and EchoBoy added. 

Loving the MMF-1s in this mode, so warm and nostalgic sounding!

My album with Dronny Darko "Black Monolith" is now out on the Reverse Alignment label. The album is 2CD with 7 new tracks and a remastering of our 1st two EPs "Facing the Void" and "1000 Years of Cryosleep". Purchase here https://reversealignment.bandcamp.com/album/black-monolith. Thank you for your support!

Katya Yonder - Woesome Morning

First "electronic" keyboard I had. Casiotone 401. I still have it..

Casiotone CT 401 & Teac A3340S Circa 1981

Patch featuring the glorious Cwejman DMF-2 (two actually).

There are two voices; 

1) A Cwejman VCO-6 is routed to both channels of a DMF-2. The Saw output of the VCO-6 is routed to one channel of the DMF-2 in low-pass mode. The PWM Saw output of the VCO-6 is routed to the other side of the DMF-2 in bandpass mode with a high resonance. The PWM Saw is modulated by a D-LFO. The VCO-6 is played live via a MIDI keyboard and MI Yarns. Yarns is in arpeggio mode.

2) A second VCO-6 is triggered by a Turning Machine routed through a uScale. The Saw output is of the VCO-6 is routed to a second DMF-2 in low-pass mode. This creates the slower patterns.

The gate output of the Yarns is routed to a 4ms QCD, the gate is subdivided and this triggers two CTG-VCs. These are modulating voice 1 via the DMF-2’s CV inputs.   A Modern Quad-LFO is also clocked by the QCD and modulating the DMF-2 of voice 2.

Both voices are mixed in a MX-4S. A PH-4 modulated the panning of the MX-4S. I wiggle the tempo divisions of the QCD and open and close the DMF-2 filters. Please note that these are just two VCOs, much of the polyrhythms happen due to rhythmical modulations of both filters.  
 
Recorded straight into ProTools via a RND 5059 summing mixer and Prism ADA-8XR. One take, no overdubs, just cut down in time a bit. Bit of delay (Echoboy), Reverb (Adaptiverb) and limiting (Ozone 7) added.

Ended up in Berlin

Patch featuring two Cwejman PH-8’s. There are two layers:

Melodic layer: two PH-8s acting as VCOs and modulating each other. The Pulse outputs of PH-8 no.1 are routed to the audio inputs of a VCA-4MX, the Triangle outputs PH-8 no.2 are routed into the CV inputs of the VCA-4MX. The 0 degrees Sine output of PH-8 no.1 is routed to the PWM input of PH-8 no.2  Both PH-8s also modulated each others offset inputs. A Turing Machine is locked into a pattern and modulating pitch of both PH-8s through their CV2 inputs. Both PH-8s are synced to different pulse outputs of the Turing Machine. The four individual outputs of the VCA-4X are routed to a MX-4S mixer and the voices are panned by a PH-4.

Rhythmical layer: The bass drum and woodblock type sound are done with a MMF-1S pinged by one of the pulse outputs of the Turing Machine. The output of the MMF-1S is compressed by a DP-2. The hihat / snare type sounds are done with CTG-VC shaping the envelope of noise from a NS-4. This is modulated by a FSH-1 and panned in stereo to the MX-4S mixer. The rhythm is triggered by another pulse output of the Turing Machine. 

This was a jam of about an hour recorded straight into ProTools via a RND 5059 summing mixer and Prism ADA-8X. Then cut up to this bite-size snack. Bit of Reverb (Adaptiverb) and limiting (Ozone 8) added.

Miah's Place

Here’s a patch with at it’s heart the Cwejman MBC-3, it is used for compression, colouring and sound design. 

There are two layers:

1. The rhythmical source is a RG-6 clocking a PH-8. The 0 and 270 degrees Saw/Square outputs of the PH-8 are routed to two FSH-1’s. The outputs of the FSH-1’s are routed to a MX-4S which is panned by a PH-4. The RG-6 modulates the two FSH-1’s via the CV1 inputs, and also modulates the PWM input and FM1 input of the PH-8. 

2. The gate output of the RG-6 triggers a CTG-VC, which pings a MMF-1S. This creates the percussive layer and bell-type sounds. The VCA/Mix output of the MMF-1S is routed to the MBC-3. Two of its compressor bands are routed to the audio inputs (no2) of the FSH-1s and are mixed with layer 1. The third (upper) band of the MBC-3 is used to FM the PH-8 via FM input2. The RG-6 also triggers a Turing Machine that is locked into loops. The Seq output of the Turing Machine modulates the frequency of both the MMF-1 and PH-8. This creates the repeating motives.

I wiggle the two frequency knobs of the FSH-1s and the frequency knob of the PH-8. The PH-8 is used in audio rate as well as LFO mode. The latter creates the clicky percussion sounds. 

Recorded in one long take into ProTools via a RND 5059 and Prism AD. Then cut up to make it slightly less boring. Bit of reverb and limiting added on the master fader.

self playing modular patch / loop featuring the following modules : Cwejman RES-4 and RG-6, Snazzy Ardcore, Harvestman Tyme Sefari II.

Getting familiar with the wonderful Cwejman SM-1.  All sounds are solely from the SM-1. 

The two VCOs are tuned in a fifth, first one is a SAW, 2nd a PWM Saw. The PWM is done by LFO2. LFO1 modulates the cutoff of the filter as well is the spacing of the filter.

I'm playing through several filter settings, first clean and at the end SAT1. 

I've played keyboard through a Yarns in ARP mode to provide the pitches.
Recorded in one take in Pro Tools, added bit of delay (Echoboy) and reverb (Adaptiverb)
