Name: 291012 - self playing euro modular loop by tunnelx in Cwejman Filters
Duration: 11 min 56 s
Description: self playing modular patch / loop featuring the following modules : Cwejman RES-4 and RG-6, Snazzy Ardcore, Harvestman Tyme Sefari II.

gorgeous track.  how are you using the ardcore in this case?

i've compiled a list of demos and tracks involving Cwejman filters, for convenience of coming back back and re-listen to all in one place.  this happened while i was deciding for which filters should i get onboard their waiting lists.  

edit update: in past two years, i have managed to get a new RES-4 from Maho,  and find DMF-2 and MMF-6 used.

Cwejman Filters

Just a small demo soundscape/texture. Instruments: eurorack modular synth (Cwejman, MakeNoise, MOTM, Malekko/Wiard modules), Kurzweil KSP8 effects processor. Production: Ableton Live 8. Main modules used : MMF-6 (as a SINE osc), E350 (as an LFO), ModDemix (for sideband), RES-4 (for vocal effects), Sport Modularor (as ... a semi random modulator).
Enjoy !


Voices inside

the night before i left for japan a few weeks ago i plugged a module in wrong into one of my eurorack cases. burning ensued and i sadly fried 4 modules. among them was the mungo g0, a sampling/granular module known for its rather quirky behavior and expensive price tag. not exactly the module you want to be fried, considering it had to go back to australia for repair and cost nearly half the price of the module's new price.

anyway…. i finally got it back today and was eager to put it back to use. despite it acting differently on different days of the week (i swear the designer has built this functionality into the code somewhere) it can actually be coaxed into doing very interesting things…

tonight's sound comes courtesy of an OP1 being sampled into the g0 which uses an LFO to move about within the sample. it's going into an animated intelllijel korgasmatron filter and through a bit of make noise echophon delay.

the fun, however, comes as the signal is routed through a custom modified serge resonant eq where i carefully play with a feedback network.

this was an 8 minute recording, and some great (as well as explosive) feedbacks happened throughout the time. this bit i felt was free of the most uncontrollable feedbacks… so it's this i post.

a great little combination of modules that one could get a lot out of...

something simple tonight… 

sine waves ….. from the verbos harmonic oscillator

with individual control inputs for 8 harmonic sine waves.. not to mention individual outputs and various spread and tilt controls..

this is just the tip of the iceberg. a very simple demonstration of some of the evolving patterns that can be created.

the verbos is being modulated by 5 LFOs.

This is a 4-voice polyphonic patch showcasing the Cwejman QMMF-4 and Modcan Quad LFO (a love made in heaven!)

The chords are played live through a MIDI keyboard going into a MI Yarns. CV is routed to 4 Cwejman VCO-6 oscillators. Their SAW outputs are going through 4 SuperSawtors and are then inserted in the individual audio inputs of the QMMF-4.

Envelopes are handled by two Modcan Quad envelopes, one going into the MX-4S and one connected to the CM2 inputs of the QMMF-4. A PH-4 modulates the panning of the MX-4S.

The Modcan Quad LFO is set to "Quad mode" and inserted in the CM1 inputs of the QMMF-4. 

All patches in the first two tracks are done with this set-up. Changes in timbre are happening by the different LFO settings and rates of the Modcan Quad LFO.  Some excerpts are done with the QMMF-4 in RES mode, some in OSC/SAT mode. I use BP and LF.

There's a RG-6 connected to the main audio input of the QMMF-4. It's positive saw output creates the random clicks in some of the excerpts.  

The third track has the MI Yarns set to 4 stacked mono voices. You hear audio rate modulation of the Modcan LFO being lowered to LFO duties. 

Sorry for the lack of musical content and my clumsy keyboard playing, this is merely a showcase for some of the timbre options of the QMMF-4.

This short, live improvisation of mine on the Buchla Music Easel was inspired by Richard Devine’s amazingly sonically diverse and compelling performance at the Trash Audio Synth meet in Portland, Oregon on May 24.  He is the master!  This is merely a humble homage.

in the never ending battle/exploration that is the mungo g0 module... i had this loop going (the noise is from a wmf geiger counter module) that i thought was sort of nice... i actually forgot it was running and it ran all night in the studio.

the g0 has great potential and its idiosyncrasies often lead to moments of discovery. but it is, most of the time, a very frustrating module.

i'm not sure where i am. i hear a slow ocean, distant bells and boats hauntingly bumping a dilapidated dock, in fear of the coming storm. and i hear loons. 

loons on the ocean?

everyone, in their career of playing with electronic instruments, needs to synthesize bird and wave noises. didn't they teach us this in the SH-101 manual? i can't believe it's taken me 30 years to try. more electronic nature noises, please.

actually, this sound started with the same basic patching as the last two sounds but at some point the sine wave from the Dixie started sounding like a loon. i decided to run with that idea...
