Didn't do much living this week. Just the minimum. Worked all week on sound design, built set, and created new live setup rig for DO. Also generated samples for bandmates. More music in the day then I have done in a long time. Late nights and long work hours. Met with bandmates. Good conversation about family, work, and aging over drinks. Had dinner at thai restaurant with partner. Planning. Had double movie day. Rode bikes for groceries. Library visit to drop off old batteries. Bought new modular case and re-arranged modular for live use. Waiting on new case. Will use for Magfest but not west. Got Waldorf Pulse 2 back (missing since 2019).
Consumed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, AFX - Analog Bubble Bath, various artists - The Factory 001, Legowelt - The Midiverb Chalice, DMX - Spiral Dance, Gak - Gak, Charlie XCX - Brat, The Sixth Sense (1999), The American Society of Magical Negroes (2024),
Software Used:
Ableton
Izotope Ozone 10
Tal - Pha
ALM ALMICON
Wavesfactory Cassette
SoundToys Radiator
Quick generative idea. Set multiple instances of Tal plugin with the same patch. Set the first to 3 voice and the rest to monophonic. Set sequence to play the same set of notes with trigger probability applied. Offset the location of the the note stack in sequencer. Create new bass instrument and set to monophonic. send midi to reciece from the polyphonic instance. Set instrument to low note priority so the bass will always imitate the root note of the chord.
After building setup I decided an acid synth might sound interesting but not in a typical acid line. Grabed acid preset from ableton and slightly tweeked settings. Set 2 instances with different seqence lengthes. Let play out of phase.
Resampled and live mixed parts. waited for a resolve to occur before killing sequence. Added some effects to the recording during automated mastering. Did not use all done on laptop speakers on the couch. ears tired from working on DO all week. last minute late night submission before going to bed sunday morning. Made in 20 minutes. One take. Way to wind down music work for the night.
