With(out) You [modular synth patch | Mutable Instruments Rings, Clouds]

I started this track as a 4ms exercise. Trying to suss chords out of the EnsOsc in a pleasant way. I was initially going for an ambient track. But as soon as I heard the Music Box samples go through the OAM Time Machine, I knew there was a trance-y track hiding beneath.

There’s a lot going on with this patch in just the EnsOsc part. Panning between 2 delays, granular treatment with dual Dradds, all being filtered through the Bizarre Jezabel Blossom. Modulation ahoy! We have loads of chaos, plus every output on both the 4ms Dual EnvVCA and the Shaped Dual EnvVCA. 

The Music Box samples are from the Disting SD Multisample algorithm being triggered by one of the < trigger outputs, which goes through the Time Machine and out to the mixer.

The kick drum is via pinging (ringing?) in the Frap Tools Cunsa. A Falistri envelope to the input, with an attenuated version of the same envelope to the FM. This filter is set in LPG mode. 

Hats are using white noise from Sapel to 1 of the Cunsa filters, also in LPG mode.

I found that in filter mode, the harmonics were just too much.

Everything is run through the Walrus Audio Slöer reverb.

Recordings

EnsOsc - Music Box - Frap Tools Jam

Experimenting with accents. The sequence is duplicated with an active mult and either channel is subject to different accents via Quad Clock Distributor. The USTA gateA output on trk1 is stacked to articulate each note, but the duplicate gate output is routed to the QCD, creating a 3 different clock divisions which are routed to a CV mixer, in this case a Quad VCA, to produce the accent envelopes. The left channel USTA sequence is fixed at /3, the right varies via a SSM switch between the /4 and /5 on the QCD's 3rd and 4th output. Accent volume levels on the Quad-VCA are higher and exponential /spikey in contrast to quieter linear envelopes used for all notes.
