Hip Hop / Trip Hop / Downtempo Mix - The Secret Path Vol. 2

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

Lazy summer patch inspired by a Cwejman CTG-VC / FSH-1 / BLD feedback loop, and a Cwejman RG-6 / MMF-2 feedback loop.

Layer 1
Feedback loop between CTG-VC (in loop mode), FSH-1 and BLD. 
Creates the noisy, electric drones and percussive noise hits.

Layer 2
Cwejman RG-6 pinging a MMF-2. Random SAW of the RG-6 is routed to Audio In 1 of the MMF-2. The High Output is routed to Master CV1 of the MMF-2 and the Normal and Low outputs of the RG-6 are routed to the Left and Right CV inputs of the MMF-2.  The RG-6 is in audio rate and I wiggle pretty much every knob until something interesting happens. :-)
This layer is most the higher, clicky percussive pulses, bass drum plucks, sine-type loops and skin type sounds.

Layer 3
Classic voice patch of VCO-6 (saw), DMF-2 (dual LPF), played via MIDI keyboard and Yarns. 
This is used for the lead melody and ARP
 
Recorded straight into ProTools via a RND 5059 summing mixer and Prism ADA-8XR. Overdubbed in 3 layers. Bit of Reverb (Adaptiverb), delay (EchoBoy) and limiting (Ozone 7) added.

The smouldering hammock

Here’s a Cwejman PH-8 wave-shaping four VCO-6s. The VCO-6s are tuned in fifths. The Triangle outputs of the PH-8 trigger the VCO-6s via FM2, the pulse/saw outputs of the PH-8 (45 degrees shifted) are routed to the PWM inputs of the VCO-6s.

A RG-6 creates the pulse, its Gate output is triggering a D-LFO, which is modulating the Offset level of the PH-8. I wiggle the waveform of the D-LFO, this reduces or increases the attack of the pulse. The Random SAW output of the RG-6 is modulating the PWM of the PH-8. The High output of the RG-6 is triggering the Sync input of the PH-8. 
The Sine Output of one of the VCO-6s is routed to the External Input of the RG-6. Sampling signal level is at about 50%.

The four PWM Saw outputs of the VCO-6s are routed to a MX-4S. A PH-4 is modulating the panning. The gate output of the RG-6 is modulating the Rate of the PH-4.

I wiggle the frequency and pulse-width of the PH-8. And I sometimes change the octave of the fifths. 

Recorded straight into ProTools via a RND 5059 summing mixer and Prism ADA-8XR. No overdubbing. Bit of Reverb (Adaptiverb) and limiting (Ozone 7) added.

Fifth twister

Percussive patch featuring a Cwejman RG-6 as the rhythmical brain. A trio of Cwejman FSH-1, RM-2S and MMF-1S are used as sound sources, modulating each other, and shifting between skin-type sounds and glassy or metallic tones. The FSH-1 is wiggled between ring-mod and freq-shift modes. The MMF-1 is in dual slope mode and its spacing and resonance are modulated by the RG-6. The RG-6 also modulates the rate and lag of a Cwejman NS-1. The S&H output of the NS-1 is routed to one of the audio inputs of the FSH-1. The gate output of the RG-6 triggers a CV-CTG that feeds a percussive pulse to the other input of the FSH-1. A Turing machine is synced to the RG-6 and locked into patterns, its Seq output modulating the pitch of the MMF-1S.

Shards

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.

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.

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)

4-й энергоблок is a duo project of Sil and Luge. Both are Deficit Moscow employees and residents. Sil has been interacting with NV crew for a long time as a dj and Luge is known as a participant in the Bolshevo jazz-trio. Combining forces in their debut album «Привыкай к земле» Sil and Luge are moving away from the casual framework creating warm-hearted musical landscapes filled with jazz harmonies framed by a light touch of cosmic atmosphere. Recorded during 4 months as a result of home studio jam sessions.

Available digital / audio cassette, limited to 50 copies. https://nvrec.bandcamp.com/album/-
