In an attempt to get the kick/snare to stand out and not get buried by the other voices, I looked for a way to do side-chain compression — in other words, lowering the volume of the other voices when the kick/snare hit. Turns out Mutable Instruments Streams module has a compressor mode that does the … Continue reading "side-chain compression attempt #1"
In this patch, a module named “Tuesday” from the company This Is Not Rocket Science is sending its pitch, gate, and accent out to a Moog Mother-32 (with the accent being fed into the resonance input), through a Pico DSP and on to a Rainmaker. Nebulae adds some ambience, and a Varigate 8+ triggers a … Continue reading "mother tuesday"
Your browser does not support the video tag. The Varigate 4+ allows me to change the sequence on the fly, while Pressure Points transposes the three voices.
Akemie’s Taiko percussion sound module has many inputs. Just about all of them are being modulated by a Voltage Block here.
I’m using four channels on a Voltage Block to generate 16-step pitch CVs, and selecting which channel is currently in use via a sequential switch. The pitch CVs are going through a Tip-Top Audio quantizer whose scale CV is being controlled by Brains/PressurePoints. Voices are Make Noise DPO and Erica Synths Black Wavetable VCO going … Continue reading "sequential switch and voltage block"
BeatstepPro is providing the master clock, feeding into Pamela’s New Workout which in turn sends various clock divisions throughout the system. An Expert Sleepers Disting mk4 is generating turing-machine-like CVs to a TipTop quantizer. A MakeNoise Pressure Points + Brains is hooked up to the Scale CV input on the quantizer, allowing me to shift … Continue reading "pressure points"
I recorded a few opening seconds from the song “Othila” by Achillea into the Phonogene, and modulated the varispeed, slide, and gene size inputs from various LFOs to produce the rising and falling sound. The low drone is from the Erica Synths Black Wavetable VCO, and Grids is firing a couple drum sounds from Pico … Continue reading "phonogene othila"
