'Singularity' - With full patch description
This patch started with a recording of a metal lampshade being struck, then looped by Nebulae2. I then added other voices which seemed to complement this.
Here, I am relying less on an arrangement of pre-programmed patterns on the Eloquencer sequencer; Instead I have one main pattern which uses a spare lane to cycle through my two-chord sequence by pitch CV offsetting some of the other lanes. I use just one more pattern to introduce a different Arp.
Recorded live, directly to a stereo master, with no edits or overdubs. (Can’t “fix it in the mix”!).
PATCH DETAILS:
Bass (white, lane A)
Chainsaw via Qpas. Chainsaw shape modulated by Ts-L PWM running at -1 octave. Qpas Level and Freq1 modulated by 2 channels of Quadra. Radiate L controlled by ATNV. Q modulated by 0chd.
Melody1 (pink, lane B)
Cursus Iteritas via Mimeophon. Envelope provided by Quadra and Quad VCA. Envelope to cursus Struct and Mimeophon Color. Tilt modulated by 0chd. Centre controlled from ATNV via flying passive attenuator. Gain controlled from Shades2. Mimeophon u modulated by 3 outputs of 0chd summed by a flying passive mixer. Mimeophon synchronised from Eloquencer clock out.
Discordant Voice (purple, lane C)
Plaits in 2-op FM mode. Morph modulated by 0chd. Envelope from Quadra.
Harmonics (grey, lane D)
Tides in high frequency Mult/Div mode. Shape modulated by 0chd. Envelope provided by Quadra and Quad VCA. Quadra also modulates Shift. First three outputs summed using a flying passive mixer.
Arp (blue, lane E)
Disting Mk4 in Pulsar VCO mode via Ripples. Envelope provided by Z4000 ADSR and Quad VCA. Ripples FM modulated by 0chd. Cv2 modulated by envelope via flying passive attenuated. Passed thru Shades3 for level control.
Pad (yellow, lane F)
Nebulae Mk2 playing a recording of a metal lampshade being struck. Envelope provided by Quadra and 2HP VCA.
Lane H provides pitch CV offset for several lanes for chord progression.
Sequenced by Eloquencer in C Major. Shades1 controls gate probability.
Cloud reverb effect from Strymon BigSky added via the mixing desk Aux.
Video shot on a Panasonic DC-GX800 with 12-32mm Lumix lens.
Audio captured live via Yamaha MG12XU USB into Audacity as a Stereo master (no post mixing or processing apart from some limiting).
