Messing around with the Modbap Osiris and my new Doepfer A-101-2 lowpass gate. I've been having a lot of fun with the LPG - a bit more than I thought I might really. I even used it for our upcoming chipsurf song! This little teaser too may also turn into a song. John's put down some awesome scratch tracks on his strat and the whole song is up around 3 minutes at this point. Still needs lots of work but it's a fun one!

Chill but dark #RandomLoop extract of my recording of today. Pretty classic setup #GroundControl at the helm, sequencing everything, #sv1b on bass duty, #BitBoxMicro on drum sampler duty and #DistingEXPlusα on piano sampler duty. Some effects on bass with the #FXAid, and on the master track with #Magneto for usual tape goodness!

I've attached a small extract, the full session recording is around 1 hour long (!). Oh and it's my first time doing things completely out of the box, I've recorded directly onto a Zoom recorder this time + ambient mic, so if you pay attention, you can hear cables rattling on the table :)

Here it is, buckle up!

After some re-shuffling of my #eurorack case, I think it's easier now to come up with interesting musical patches.

Here's an example #RandomLoop from today: it's an arpeggiated call-response. The main voice is a pinged and nearly self-oscillating #Filter8, recorded to #DistingEX. It's played arpeggiated and its ouptput is split in two paths, both meeting at a #Select2. The first path goes directly to the #Select2, the second path is processed by #Magneto, with a send/return through #tanh3. The output of the #Select2 then goes through #FXAid for some light reverb, and then out.

I really like the symmetry, musicality and structure emanating from this construction. I love that it sounds intentional :)

Have a great rest of the day everyone.

Experimentation time, one signal, two effect chains, with a switch per stereo channel so that it can be performed. Lots of delays, of all sorts: tape delay emulation by #Magneto #FXAid and #Beads plus the #PicoBBD for crunch.

It wobbles, it pops, it almost ASMRs, in short, it's ambient again in this #RandomLoop

Hope you have a nice weekend everyone!

Ambient alert! Ambient alert!

Well, it has happened again, I went to ambient territory. I'm trying out my eurorack delay module #Strymon #Magneto and felt like it.

The patch has 2 voices, one is the #DistingEX in sampler mode playing the piano, this goes directly to #Magneto and then to out. But! #Magneto has a send and return feature, in which I'm plugging the my other #BBD (bucket-brigade delay) which is super noisy, and even whinny if you push it: 200% character, I just love this type of noises.

The other voice is the trusty #sv1b for bass duty, going through a very nice (and unknown) reverb/delay algorithm on the #FXAid and then to out.

Sequencing and clock comes from #PNW as one could expect.

Have a relaxing listening session, here's my latest #RandomLoop !

Hi everyone,

Couple of days ago I was watching a video called “Resampled Sequencers” from Jakub Ciupinski (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnmkdGsA0jA) and I thought to myself: Genius! I mean, it's not that it's super arcane or difficult or anything, it's just a technique that is easy to overlook, but gives really interesting musical results.

This was the genesis of today's #RandomLoop

I'm pairing #OrnamentAndCrime with the Hemisphere Suite firmware, with my trusty #sv1b, #PNW is on clock duty and #FXAid is providing great sounding reverb. All that goes through the #ES9 straight to #Reaper for recording. Clock 1 is going to a turing machine-type sequencer on the O_C, and clock 2 is going to a quantizer, also on the O_C, and a copy is used to open the ADSR of the sv1b. The output of the sequencer is going through the quantizer of course. The pitch information is routed to the first oscillator of the sv1b, and the sound output then goes to the FXAid for some reverb and then out.
There is a very slight amount of FM on the oscillator, to give it tremolo, translating into some hesitation or bad tracking.

Here are a few modulation points: I'm playing with the amount of reverb, I'm changing the slopiness of clock 1 (it's adding jitter to the clock), and I'm also changing the probability that a value is changed in the source sequence, very slightly.

All in all it's a (mostly) subtle progression to a memorable tune :)

*runs away*

Say hello to “Screaming filter in a dark and empty world, with acid rain”

A new #RandomLoop with reverb… Looots of it.

In this example, I'm trying out the algorithms of the #FXAid (a very nifty multi-effect module). This is probably a shimmer-type reverb. I'm feeding it a self-patched and overdriven #Filter8 (the screaming filter). In parallel, the #sv1b is providing a wobly sound source, going through #Microcell in Resonestor (a resonator) mode, providing all the plinks.

Don't close your eyes.
