about

Recorded live, directly to a stereo master, with no edits or overdubs apart from some limiting in post. (Can’t “fix it in the mix”!).

PATCH DETAILS:

Vocals (white, lane A,B,C)
Disting EX in multisample mode using Chorus samples.

Bass (purple, lane D)
Chainsaw, two of whose pitch CVs are driven at 1 octave interval using Shades. Envelope provided by Quadra and Quad VCA. The envelope CV is also modulated by one channel of Quad VCA from Twin Waves 1 in sine mode, whose FM/AM is modulated by Twin Waves 2 in sine mode.
The first output from Chainsaw is processed by Three Sisters in Crossover mode, the second by Ripples Mk2.
Both filters are frequency modulated by the envelope and Modbox 3P240, summed by a flying passive mixer.

Arp (grey, lane E)
Rings in Modulated / Inharmonic Strings mode via Mimeophon. Damping modulated by Tides. Brightness and Position modulated by 0chd.

Chord Stabs (pink, lane F)
Surface, whose Model is modulated by Tides. Tone modulated by 0chd. Triplets played by Eloquencer, brought together by reverb and enveloped by Quadra, Quad VCA.

Throaty Drone (Red, lane G)
Cursus Iteritas in Daubechies mode. Center and Struct modulated by 0chd. Level varied by 2HP VCA, controlled by both Modbox P0 and Tetrapad LFO 2, which are ‘Ored’ together using Kinks Max.

Wow (Yellow, lane H)
Ts-L PWM via Qpas SP outputs. Envelope provided by Quadra into Qpas Level. Qpas Freq modulated by Envelope. Q modulated by 0chd. Radiate R modulated by Ts-L pulse out. Radiate L modulated by Tetrapad LFO 4.

Wash (black)
Arbhar playing a sample chord from Blofeld. Level controlled from Tetrapad LFO 3 using D/W.

Percussive Noises (Blue)
Plaits in classic waveform mode. Pitch CV and Model from Ladic R-120 RND CV in diatonic minor scale, triggered by RCD. Modbox Skew whose rate is controlled by Tetrapad 1 in LFO mode then clocks RCD, rotated by rectified noise from Kinks. Plaits Timbre and Morph modulated by Tides.

Sequenced by Eloquencer in D Locrian.
Swell reverb effect from Strymon BigSky added via the mixing desk Aux.
Cases: Tiptop Mantis and Eowave.

Audio captured live via Yamaha MG12XU USB into Audacity as a Stereo master (no overdubbing, post mixing or processing apart from some limiting). Monitored on Yamaha HS8's.
