Volca - Snare Fix C78

First patch really with the Make Noise Erbe-Verb and the Make Noise Mysteron since putting them together in my Cell 48. The Erbe-verb is self oscillating then CV out hits the excite of the mysteron when it peaks in the feedback and an lfo takes care of keeping things a little more random by varying the pitch of the mysteron. The right channel is also used as a feedback loop into the bitcrusher which has an lfo that runs out of sync on the crush parameter and mixed back into the overall mix.

In addition to this the bass is the filter of the Microbrute self oscillating with an lfo slightly altering the filter to give the pulse effect. The thuds and droplet sounds are a volca beats with the higher pads that slide in and out being a Volca keys in unison ring mode and then simply playing the filter to create the long rise and falls. The Microbrute / Beats & Keys are all fired through a dual reverb on a lexicon rack to calm their attack and make space in the sound.

This was all played and recorded live, apart from the fade in and out which was better placed being done in Logic. No post at all sound wise, just off the desk.The right channel is also used as a feedback loop into the bitcrusher which has an lfo that runs out of sync on the crush parameter and mixed back into the overall mix.

The bass and rise parts are a volca beats/keys and the filter of a microbrute through 2 reverb chains in a lexicon rack.

All played live no post at all.


Erbe - Verb Patch 1 With Others

Arpeggio Modular

Trying some drones with frames and a wogglebug as the master modulators. Laid over a field recording that was my first upload to sound cloud

Underground

Werkstatt

Bass comes from the Werkstatt feeding the Lfo back into the gate to trigger an envelope. Fed into the pitch as well then tuned for the main double note.

The tides uses modulation on the wave shape, the Tides with the sheep firmware uses modulation on the X values of the waves. Then finally braids running Bees In trees is set to be an always on oscillator using the wavefolder.

After that a lot of tweaking and feeding it into the erbe verb which self throttles using the CV out to feed back in.

All in all 2 days of repeatedly tweaking and getting it just right then this is a totally live recording. Only the fade in at the start was managed in a DAW, the rest is as it came off the soundcard

Into Oblivion

Imagine the Cheeky Girls. It's not like that.

Low Strummer

do not forget this progression

First attempt at the woggle stepped out through a quantiser

Disting with Wogglebug

A rarity .. a modular track that's not just random shit. 

Modular - Bounce

I sat down thinking, I have a harmoniser, I'm sure I can do the same with some oscillators.. 2 hours later and a bit of thought into the performance and planned it a little and this is the result. The picture is the patch. Werkstatt does the beeps, Volca just the hats.

Modular Harmonic - Live (no edits)

Finally managed to get a clouds and it doesn't disappoint!

The chord like drums notes are clouds resonating and being heavily modulated from the elements source to create a sweep. 

The swinging drums are 2 peaks being fed through a few different things like the erbe verb and finally a TR8 keeps a solid beat to tie things in a little. Giving the the modular stuff a feel of time as it wanders and changes.

All recorded live to a handheld tascam recorder, then normalised before upload.
