Alien Winter Storm

By thousand on January 24, 2016 10:28 pm

This week I was inspired by all the winterness happening in the states I have lived before (Maryland and Tennessee). This is a drone patch and a quick performance.

The patch is quite complicated, so detailed notes would be nonsensical and probably uesless! Lots of cross modulation between CV sources.

Some points of note though. The master "clock" is sourced from a Maths envelope, which is having it's timing CV'd from a couple things. The end of cycle is triggering a clock divider, which is then firing other envelopes, and two turing machines from Peaks. The two Maths envelopes get mod'd to each other in lots of different ways, including a wave folder, and drive variations in the drones, and FM on an LFO. That LFO which provides variation to the bass drone, and a secondary clock to the Asteroids mode on Game System. That random CV and the trigger outs fire envelopes for the "drips" (SRM through a plucked VCA), and a "kick" sound that is unrecognizably glitched out through Analog Replicator. The "wind drone" is a resonant filter with noise in, getting cutoff CV from the mishmashed envelopes.
