Duration: 6 min 54 s
Description: I got a pair of the Gristleizer modules a few days ago. The TG3 Filter and TG4 Modulator. Today is first day I've had chance to have a go. Drums from the Pr0k modules, bass from 0-Coast into the TG4 then TG3. Modulation from Turing Machine and Voltages. Mother 32 adding melody. Delays and reverbs from mixer and FX pedals

Test of MI Stages. Just messing around.

Stages is generating pitch and amplitude (Decay) envelopes for the kick, triggered by Grids.

Sound source for the kick is Ripples, initially with white noise from Kinks, then I turn the resonance up until the filter begins to self-oscillate. Cutoff frequency modulated by Stages Decay envelope.

Veils is the VCA for the kick.

I had fun messing with the decay shapes for the pitch and VCA envelopes on Stages.

Stages also provides another Decay envelope, triggered at the same time as the kick, which envelopes the same Kinks white noise source, which is then passed through Shelves, modulated by Stages clocked LFO, with another Veils channel as VCA.

Plaits on hat/snare noise, triggered by the 2nd Grids channel and modulated by another clocked LFO from Stages.

Braids through Clouds on nasty drone, with a couple of Clouds parameters modulated by unclocked Stages LFOs.

Dervish on reverb, and Streams squashing everything.

As usual, minimal musical content, and way too long.

Stages

Testing newly-built NLC Hypster chaos module. Modulating pitch of 3x MI Edges channels, Ripples cutoff frequency. Through 'shimmer' reverb on Dervish. Recorded to uSD card with Disting Mk.4.

Lots of self-modulation going on! I had to chop out a section in the middle of the recording where the Hypster got itself into a static state, and it took me a while to get things moving again.

This module is a lot of fun. The 4 bicolour LEDs make a nice light-show, too!

Hypster Madness

Hypster 02

More Hypster experiments. This time modulating the noise frequency of Edges' channel 4, and Ripples cut-off frequency.

I also use both BP and LP outputs of Ripples, changing the relative levels at various points, and fiddle with the cutoff modulation attenuverter, as well as the base noise frequency and the 3 main Hypster parameters,

Hypster 03

I got a pair of the Gristleizer modules a few days ago. The TG3 Filter and TG4 Modulator. Today is first day I've had chance to have a go. Drums from the Pr0k modules, bass from 0-Coast into the TG4 then TG3. Modulation from Turing Machine and Voltages. Mother 32 adding melody. Delays and reverbs from mixer and FX pedals

Gristleizer mix

Fooling around with Erica Sample Drum module, Intellijel Plonk, Pr0k drums and Antumbra Smog (Clouds clone).

Sequenced from Per|Former.

First jam recorded with my new 1-row 104HP case.
