Stuff with eurorack/modular

Hit The Ground Running

Modular Patch 5 (Bermuda.Tune.LP-1.WaspVCF.Clouds.Mikro)

This is a fairly simple track, came about after I was screwing around with the 0-coast and my HEK. Then I threw in a messy and noisey MS-20 bass sound, put some pad on top, and voila.

Equipment Used:
Make Noise 0-Coast - Random blips (ran through modular)
Korg MS-20 Mini - Bass
Akai AX80 - PWM pad and more blips
Ensoniq VFX-SD - Saw pad

Rainsheets

Another cozy, calming track. It's pretty simple, started with a recorded track on the MPC1000 that is played to the 0-Coast. That then goes through Clouds with a bit of pitch mod. Buffer is set low.

I recorded that and the RS-101 live, then put some fx on the 101. Recorded in the DX7, the MicroPiano, and then finally the MS-20 mini.

Equipment Used:
Make Noise 0-coast - Pentatonic blips
Roland RS-101 - Strings
Yamaha DX7- Pad
Kurzweil MicroPiano - Piano
Korg MS-20 Mini - Lead

Sunrise Over Brook

Another cozy track, decided to turn it into a little lo-fi hip hop track. Messed around with a home-brew DX7 epiano patch, threw it through some fuzz and bit reduction as well as some vinyl/lo-fizer type things. Then I made a quick beat using CR-78 samples, put that through some heavy compression and bit reduction. And finally beefed it up with some pads from the K4 and a bass from MS-20 Mini. Oh yeah, and the weird blippy bloops come from the 0-coast being ran through Clouds.

Equipment Used:
Akai MPC-1000 - Beat, sequencing
Yamaha DX7 - Electric piano
Make Noise 0-coast (and modular) - Bloops
Korg MS-20 Mini - Bass
Kawai K4 - Pad
Ensoniq ESQ-1 - Shimmers

Cabin In Forest

A not so great test of 4-tracking some house grooves. Damn fostex barely works anyways, this took 30 minutes of carefully balancing cords to get to work.

Oh, I added a bit of low and high end compensation EQ in REAPER just to make sure that the bits I wanted heard came through a bit clearer. The high-end gets absolutely stripped away on the Fostex sometimes.

Equipment Used:
Yamaha DX7 - Pad (sidechained)
Akai MPC-1000XL - Beat and sequencer (sidechain source)
Korg MS-20 Mini - Bass (compressed)
Make Noise 0-COAST - Blips (sent through modular)

Alesis 3630 Compressor - Compression

Fostex X-28 Multitracker - 4-track tape recording

REAPER - DAW recording

Low-frequency audio peaks from MPC-1000 channel trigger the TRIG input on Clouds, creating interesting pitch-shifts in time to the music. Just an experiment, I'll probably do this over when the Fostex stops misbehaving

Taped Crunch

Another jamuary piece, made this live in the discord chat. It's alright.

Equipment Used:
HEK Modular - Plucks
Korg Volca Beats - Drums
Korg Volca Bass - Bass
Arturia Beatstep Pro - Sequencing

Neo Geo Boot

Got my hands on the Artiuria MicroFreak a few weeks ago.  This is the first track I've put out so far.  A return to my breakbeat roots.
