Experimenting with formants from Hieroglyphic’s Plume formant pulsar generator.
Modular synth didgeridoo trance vibes…
Melodic pattern via Vermona’s Melodicer.
All voices and effects are heavily modulated by envelopes and LFOs.

Just an experiment with randomized rhythms and melodies from Vermona’s Melodicer. All voices and effects are heavily modulated by envelopes and LFOs.

A tribute to the absolute masterpiece by Alexander Robotnick and Ludus Pinsky called “N5 from outer space”.

I really love this tune, and tried to re-create it but horribly failed.

Using 12 tracks at the same time, orchestrated via Akai Force and Hermod+, the mixdown was a real catastrophe since the phase shifts from various effects were cancelling out each other.

Re-mixing every single voice separately within Logic Pro helped to finally push out this video.

Blade Runner Vibes – on Modular Synth

Since I’m a big fan of the old and the new BladeRunner movies, I simply had to do this tribute synth patch. Please enjoy and re-watch the movies.

The Blade Runner style melody pattern is randomly advanced by Qu-Bit’s Bloom fractal sequencer. No pre-recorded melody here.
Bard Quartet arpeggiator plays the bassline on Brains.
A rainy soundscape is generated by Ensemble Oscillator waveshaped into pink noise, which is then delayed and processed in Nautlius.
Mixed together with some random envelopes triggering an VCA to form kind of raindrop sounds impacting from time to time.

Typhoon, FX Aid and Milky Way shift all sound layers into an appropriate atmosphere using long delay reverbs.
Fractal sequencer – Qu-Bit Bloom Voices – Bastl Pizza (main synth) / Behringer Brains (bass) / 4ms Ensemble Oscillator (rainy noise) Modulation – Behringer Chaos (Marbles) for clock and random filter CV Filter – Bastl Cinnamon EG – XAOC Zadar with slowly randomized envelopes ARP – Shakmat Bard Quartet VCA – Behringer Four Play FX – Qu-Bit Nautilus (De-Shimmer Cascade) / Endorphines Milky Way (Tape Echo) / After Later Audio Typhoon (Spectral Clouds) / Happy Nerding FX Aid (Delay Magneto)
Mix – Endorphines Cockpit Samples – 2HP Play with a sample Remix FX Vocal Warp FX 03 from Apple Jam Pack 2: Remix Tools (pitched up and mixed into rain noise)

Stepper connected – on Modular Synth

An improvisation inspired by the era of accustic modems, when FidoNet was more affordable than internet. And printers and floppys were using stepper motors that we made music with.

The main arp voice is steadily modulated by random envelopes, and gates and notes are also triggered with probabilities from Black Sequencer.

Typhoon gets triggered from time to time and freezes into an interesting long spectral reverb cloud….
Sequencer – Erica Synths Black Sequencer Voices – Bastl Pizza (bass) / Behringer Brains (Plaits super saw arp) / 4ms Ensemble Oscillator (stepper sound)
Modulation – Instruo 0chd / Behringer Chaos (Marbles) EG – After Later Audio Baker modulating Brains VCA – Doepfer A130-8 for gating

Bloom v1 – on Modular Synth

My first try creating a melody with Qu-Bit’s Bloom fractal sequencer.
I tried to let it sound a bit underwater bubble like, with some whale like noises in between.
Almost everything is modulating everything else, hard to tame….

Voices – 4ms Spherical Wavetable Navigator SWN / Bastl Pizza / 4ms Ensemble Oscillator / Neuzeit Instruments Warp
Filters – Bastl Cinnamon / Bastl Ikarie
Modulation – Instruo 0chd / Behringer Four LFO / Joranalogue Filter 8
EG – After Later Audio Baker / Klavis Quadigy
Clock – ALM Pamelas New Workout FX – Endorphines Milky Way / Qu-Bit Nautilus / After Later Audio Typhoon / Neuzeit Instruments Orbit
Mix – Bastl Aikido / Behringer Four Play / Endorphines Cockpit Drums – Endorphines Queen of Pentacles
Visualization – Mordax Data
