Epic Synth Performance Unveiled: Discover The Yearning
#Eurorack #synth
I premiered this piece on Johno Wells' Modular World show on Sunday August 27th 2023.
I recorded it live - straight to a Stereo master - can't 'fix it in the mix'!
PATCH NOTES

Cursus Iteritas in Daubechies mode into Sisters into Quadra and Quad VCA into, then into Beads. Cursus Struct modulated by 0chd. Cursus Tilt modulated by Modbox 120. Short higher frequency chuff injected into Sisters Low input by Chainsaw into Freak in 48dB DJ Filter mode, whose Cutoff is modulated by an envelope from Ceis, whose Attack is modulated by Modbox 0.
Arp (Blue):
2HP Arp triggered pseudo-randomly by Pams channel 8. Then into Rings in Green formant filter mode into Veils with envelope from Zadar channel 4. Into MFX in Tape Tech delay mode with a long delay to give us apparently different arps in each stereo channel. MFX synchronised from Pams channel 3.
Glissando (Green):
Hermod track 3 with Arp effect.
Twin Waves AO mode via 2HP VCA gated by the lane gate. Level control using Veils, into Fx Aid XL, sub-mixed by Shades.
Fruity melody (White):
Hermod track 4
Pizza into Quadra, Quad VCA, Ikarie and Melotus Versio with Imitor Versio firmware. Pizza shape modulated by 0chd.
Bass (Pink):
Hermod track 5
Ensemble into Quadra and Quad VCA.
Ensemble Twist modulated by a short burst from Sinc Bucina.
Percussion (Orange):
Hermod tracks 6 and 8 via MIDI into Rample. I used two tracks so that one could be used with a lower probability for accidentals.
Wobbly Chords (Yellow):
Hermod track 7 via MIDI
Disting EX in Macro Osc 2 mode into Blades into Microcosm in Mosaic 2 mode.
Plucky Melody (Red):
Stochastic Inspiration Generator channel 1 (synchronised from Pams channel 7).
Plaits in orange mode 1 (Classic waveshapes with filter) into Veils 2 for level control, into Fx Aid XL in Reverb plate classic mode, partially bypassed using Ladik Atnv (so the other Fx Aid channel could be ‘wetter’). Plaits FM modulated slightly by 0chd. Morph modulated by Modbox 240.
Pulsating Growl (Black):
Arbhar playing vocal, shaver and Cursus Iteritas samples into Twin Drive. Arbhar Layer modulated by Hike in repeat mode. Some Arbhar reverb enabled by a voltage from Shades.
Sequenced in D minor by Hermod, synchronised from Pams track 5.
Cloud reverb from Big Sky added at the mixing desk.
Audio captured live via Yamaha MG12XU USB mixer into Audacity as a Stereo master (no overdubbing, post mixing or processing apart from some compression).
Note that although Audacity is technically a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), it is only used to capture the live performance in 2-channel stereo and apply the aforementioned mastering adjustments.
Monitored on Yamaha HS8s and Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro cans.
Cases: Tip Top Mantis, ALM Busy Circuits 52HP 6u.
