20240529 Two Loads

This is about as simple a patch as can be made.

2 operators from the Humble Audio Quad Operator > Bard VTG (tube lpg), enveloped by CalSynth Changes (MI Stages). The envelopes are being triggered by Xaoc Devices Batumi II. The shape of the 2 operators are slowly being modulated by Triple Sloths. The v/Oct comes from the Bindubba, while the Ratio of the second operator is being modulated by a CV output from Stochaos (both via Quantermain). The output of the VTG > stereo matrix mixer.

This is being sent to the Olivia Arts Modular Time Machine for some fancy multi-tap echo, which is creating the rhythm of the patch. The Time Machine does most of the heavy lifting in the patch. The melody itself is rather sparse and pretty boring. The delay makes it interesting, especially with moderately high feedback. The delay output goes to the matrix mixer.

From there the delay goes to Panharmonium, set at Xfaded sines, -1 octave, a little blur and glide. It has a tap tempo that is roughly the same as the melody.

This is also sent to the Bizarre Jezabel Mimosa for some serious destruction that gradually comes in then fades away.

Time Machine First Patch

Just another little downtempo modular jam. Noise Engineering BIA is doing most of the work. Mutable Instruments Plaits is taking care of the pad. Reverb/delay from Electus Versio.

20241012 One Thousand Ways I Can Touch You

Zur Molle

I'm a lab-rat. gear-head. Composer of sonic explorations. Seeker of tone and frequency. Patcher of modules. Twiddler of knobs. Bender of strings. Programmer of sequences. Lover of all things that oscillate, resonate and reverberate.

My main instrument is a Eurorack Modular synthesizer comprised of approximately 70 modules. My favourites include modules from Frap Tools Instruō, Intellijel, and Xaoc Devices. I use a 16-channel Line converter from nw2s to get modular signals into my DAW.
My main polysynths are an UDO Super6 and a Sequential Prophet Rev2.
Production tools are Bitwig with an Ableton Push 2, with two Universal Audio and Focusrite AD converters; and plugins from GForce/Oberheim, Waldorf, UAD, Valhalla DSP, Plugin Alliance, Eventide, Softube, and Roland.
I also compose with electric guitars and basses, Toontrack Superior Drummer, and various Brazilian samba percussion.
