Perfect Patch - Live No DAW Jam #19

Published on Nov 28, 2017 Jay Hoskins

"Title: Perfect Patch
Genre: Electronic Downtempo
Artist: Rite Rain Causality - Jay Hoskins

Played live and recorded directly from the stereo mixer outputs.

This was a short piece I put together for a recent contest by Perfect Circuit. Entries were posted to Instagram so there was only a minute to work with. It was hard to do something in a minute and there were more modulations to explore than would fit, not to mention that It is pleasant just to let it run.

In this performance the circuit is on the sidelines and I'm using the LFO on the Studio Electronics Tonestar 2600 for master tempo to the Tempi. Baseline is coming from the Pittsburgh Modular SV-1 sequenced by the Tempi and Akai Timbre Wolf. The other three voices of the Timbre Wolf are doing the pad chords through the Eowave Fluctuations filter. Tempi, Rene, and the Turing Machine are sequencing the Tonestar for the lead synth. The Tempi and Mutable instruments Braids provides the Kick. Finally the sparkle is added by Rings which is doubling the lead voice with a high frequency strike from Tempi."

Sea People - Hardware / No DAW Jam #36

Title: Sea People
Genre: Electronic Melodic Ambient Downtempo
Artist: Rite Rain Causality - Jay Hoskins

In this track the Tonestar 2600 provides the bass line sequenced by the Timbrewolf. I wanted to try longer patterns in the eurorack so all four channels of the Timbrewolf are used and switched through a sequential switch. The gates are independent of the cv and generated by the Turing machine. The Minilogue provides an initial pad and then a melody is recorded live into the sequencer. The circuit is doing drum duty and additional bass reinforcement. Finally the MS-20 is adding some lead pads. Delay and reverb are from the Flashback and Hall of Fame.

Played live without a computer and recorded directly from the mixer outputs.

"Played live and recorded directly from the stereo mixer outputs.

I replaced the Tempi with a Pamela's New Workout and midi breakout which is easier do a master clock with run/stop and sync the external gear. In this jam the Pamela is the master clock. The circuit is just doing drums this time.
Drone comes from the Mutable Instruments braids through the Eowave Fluctuations filter which has independent modulations on A & B channels and then panned left and right in the mixer. It is sequenced by the Make Noise Rene. Drone audio is double through rings and modulated by Pamela.
The same sequence plays a line on the Studio Electronics Tonestar 2600 along with several modulations.
The bass arp is on the Akai Timbre Wolf in polyphonic mode. Since the notes rotate through the oscillators it is easy to have each voice have a slightly different texture and make it interesting.
Finally the Korg MS-20 provides the primary melody and theme."
