Deviance

The sequence starts with a cable connection to the clock output from the Steady State Fate Ultra Random module. This clock output was sent to an intellijel hub mult. From here the clock was sent to first to a 4ms RCD/QCD, Delptronics Trigger Man, and to the MakeNoise Rene. First output gates from 4ms RCD 4 divide output to the trigger input on the Braids module top row, running in "WLIN" mode. The second multi-output was sent to a 4ms QCD output green channel 4, set at a division trigger time of 16. This would trigger single notes on the "Elements" module, that begins at 1:42. The playback mode is running in "Secret Easter Egg Mode" :-) The selected note sequence from the QCV output from Rene. The final output from Elements was sent to the Eventide "Pitch" pedal using the "Crystalizer" algorithm.

Clouds - was processing recorded chunks from the drum percussion, kick used from the top row "Peaks" 808 kick drum synthesis model. Then a snare was created from the "grey" noise output from the SSF Quantum rainbow running through the right side of Streams to make a snare drum, which was running in envelope mode with shape position to the left, short decay. Then a third voice uses the blue noise output from the SSF quantum rainbow for hi-hats. Amplitude triggered/controlled by a HexVCA. The drum sequence was programmed from the Delptronics Triggerman, using all 8 patterns stringed together running in pattern play mode but being CV controlled by the S&H # 1 output from the SSF Ultra Random. Output for all voices was grouped and multiplied into two separate mixers. First three channels of the Intellijel Mutamix, which was then sent to output channel B. From there the summed mix was sent into the "left" side input of Clouds. Then triggered in time with the sequence by an 8th division trigger from the 4ms RCD. The freeze input in Clouds was triggered in time 7th divisions from the 4ms RCD, so that the chunks would process and record then playback in spurts of timed randomness. The mode was set in the pitch-shifter/time stretcher configuration, where the grains were spliced so that created interesting granular pitching repeats and percussive glitch effects, as the rhythmic beats played through. Focused ranges were selected for the "Density/Pitchshifter" and "Timestetcher/Texture" controls. These were being controlled by the S&H #2 output from the SSF Ultra Random. The 1/volt pitch input was controlled by the toggle A/B output from the SSF ultra random. The clean drum outputs were also sent to channels 5, 6, and 7 on the Blue Lantern "Mix 'Em Up" module.

Streams left side processing from the MakeNoise Mysteron output, which was being triggered by the 5th division output, for the metallic ripple delay like sounds, with the mutation knob set to counter-clockwise, low bit mode.
The "Shelves" module was processing the acid-like filter parts that get un-muted at 12 seconds. The sound source running into "Shelves" was the "Braids" module bottom row, running in "CSAW" mode. CV controlled by the CV output from the MakeNoise Rene sent to another intellijel hub mult. From here each CV output was sent to the "Frequency" inputs pink, green, and white jacks on "Shelves". The "Tides" high tide output modulation the CV controlling the top frequency input on "Shelves" Each filter knob was set so the incoming "CSAW" input was being processed like a formant filter effect.

Smooth Sub OSC bassline coming from the MakeNoise STO. This was being CV controlled by an intellijel ￼µScale (B) output. Playing back 8 notes while being triggered from the 2nd division trigger on the 4ms RCD. Triangle wave output from an Intellijel Dixie (synced) to the sequence controlling the input (1V/Oct). Second STO at 55 seconds, alternating high note triggers from the 1 channel output from the 4ms QCD 6th division output. The second STO output was sent to a MakeNoise Optomix for short quick plucks.

Just over two years since the conception of our Satellite Trax sublabel, we have decided to take the best of our inaugural run and return it to the many supporters of our shift towards club music. We extracted personal and fan favorites from the eight circuits that compose our first season, highlighting the many twists and turns of this series thus far. With season two right around the corner, expect a complete visual redesign, both new and familiar faces gracing our library, and most importantly: an abundance of club-centric tracks ready to push sonic boundaries even further and shapeshift onto dancefloors around the globe.
