Modular Jam #14 – Tying The System Together

https://youtu.be/pMiYNYGNu1g

Here’s my latest modular jam, entirely on the modular and with a general feel of trying to create everything on the modular and tie the system together with something that could be a live / jam style piece.

Patch notes below and as always hit subscribe/like and fire away with any questions and/or comments.

PATCH NOTES

Kick – this was the Intellijel Dixie sine wave with one envelope from the Doepfer Quad ADSR going into the exponential on a Dixie Controller so I can adjust the depth of exp-FM and fine tune the depth and envelope shape. The Dixie’s sine went into a uVCA II with a second envelope from the Doepfer Quad ADSR controlling the amplitude.

Snare – patch notes are rough on this one, my bad! – uLFO shaped sine wave with an envelope to FM to add a little pitch thump at the start into a Malekko VCA in exponential mode for a little saturation (the Malekko VCA has some nice saturation when up full with exponential mode selected) with tight envelope to create a short thump. This was mixed with some white noise into another VCA and then sent to the Doepfer A-199 spring reverb which is adjusted manually throughout the video.

Riff – Mutable Instruments Braids in sync mode provides the main riff with a sequence from the Make Noise Pressure Points and a Doepfer A-151 Sequential Switch to switch between sequence patterns. This goes into an ADDAC 207 Quantizer and then into a Manhattan Analog CVP for some glide before going to the ALM Beast’s Chalkboard for octave control before Braids. Braids has modulation from a Frequency Central System X Sample & Hold provide timbre / colour movement on Braids. Braids goes out into a Malekko Borg 2 filter with the WMD Multi-Mode-Envelope providing modulation to the cut off in low pass gate mode. This part is rough but I think the AFG was mixed in with the Braids sound using the Erica Synths Tube Mixer. The sequence was sent into a Synthrotek EKO unit and then into the Doepfer A-189-1 Bit Modifier for live sample rate reduction.
