Shared System Patches

Studio track by Robert Rich and B. Lustmord

Robert Rich & Lustmord Synergistic Perceptions

Shared System Patch. Modules used: Erbe-Verb, DPO, Echophon, Rene, Pressure Points, Optomix, Phonogene. I chose not to use a Maths or Wogglebug. I really wanted everything to be under direct control.

The Phonogene contained a previous Shared System sound. Its End of Slice output was patched to both an Optomix strike (with Phonogene's output as input), and the Rene's X-Clk input. Rene's output was changing the organization of the Phonogene.

Various points were manually controlled by Pressure Points. Channel 2 of the Optomix was a DPO drone. Optomix out->Echophon->Erbe-Verb->Stereo Out.

Shared System Patch: Dependence

A live performance for the Make Noise Shared System series. Primary plunk sound is a DPO run through an Optomix. Maths triggers the Optomix in a semi-irregular way. The sound is run through an Echophon, with the feedback out into an Erbe-Verb. The Erbe-Verb channel one is plugged into a Phonogene in "Broken Echo" mode, which is output into the Echophon Feedback input. The Erbe-Verb stereo outputs are the primary outs for this piece.

Shared System Patch: Late Bloomer

The evil twin to "Late Bloomer". It's the same patch, but with heavier FM settings and larger modulations. Recorded live with no overdubs and no post-processing.

Shared System Patch: Wilted

Just a simple demo to show how to turn the Erbe-Verb into a glass-like percussion machine via feedback.

Shared System Example: Erbe-Verb Feedback Percussion

This is a pretty experimental patch involving a lot of feedback. The DPO is plugged into itself in many ways, while simultaneously triggering an Optomix to help add percussive envelopes to its output. The Optomix sum output is run through an Erbe-Verb.
