Modular Jam : Flight of the Long Lost : Tides, Rings, Peaks, Ripples, Clouds, 4ms SMR

"Flight of the Long Lost: Patch Notes
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

A modular performance featuring my giant right arm, and mostly Mutable Instruments modules.

Involved modules

Intellijel 1U Random/Clock
4ms Rotating Clock Divider (RCD) and Breakout
Mutable Instruments (MI) Rings
MI Clouds
MI Rings
MI Veils
MI Tides
2 x MI Peaks
4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator
TipTop ONE
Intellijel 1U Quadratt
Intellijel 1U Buffered Mult
Intellijel 1U Digitank Reverb
2hp Reverb
2hp Delay
2hp 3:1
Transient Modules 6ch Mixer
Pittsburgh Outs

Routing/Control
-----------------------
As you can see from the video, I did a lot of manual wiggling for this jam. But there’s a background of random modulation going on via massively multed and modulated slewed random.

Smooth voice: Tides in oscillator mode, Bi output. Shape, Slope, and Smoothness modulated by semi-random LFO from Peaks #1 channel 1, which is in turn modulated (via Veils) by multed 1U Random slewed output, attenuated via Quadratt. Envelope by Peaks #1 channel 1, with manual changes here and there. Lots of manual wiggling of the wave shape controls. V/oct driven by O+C in Quantermain mode. Output into 1hp Delay, then Verb, and on to mixers.

Various melodic bits: Rings in sympathetic strings mode, polyphony mode 1. Rings Brightness, Damping, Position modulated by multed slewed random from above (lots of Stackcable hopscotch going on!). Lots of wiggling of parameters including Structure. Output into Clouds in looping delay mode. Clouds triggered by /8 of RCD (“Spread” is on, so I guess it’s really /16?). Occasional wiggling of the regeneration/feedback control.

Rhythm: Tiptop ONE timed by RCD.

Background Drone: 4ms SMR in self-generating resonator mode, with Rotation and Spread modulated by multed Random output of 1U Intellijel Clock/Random, attenuated via Quadratt. Output mixed with rhythm track via Quadratt, on to 1U Digitank reverb, and final mix.


Sequencing/Timing
-----------------------
Everything timed by RCD getting its clock from the 1U Clock/Random module.


Audio/Video Notes
=========
Camera: Sony A6000 mounting a Leica 28mm Summicron-R

Audio recorded on a Zoom H2 using the mic input (the line input is busted). Managed to avoid distortion except at about 09:36. Bummer, but I think I actually distorted the Delay or Verb module, rather than the H2 being overloaded.

Edited in Apple iMovie."

Borderlands Granular // Tetrax // Wsyn // Dradd // Data Bender // Just Friends

video upload by Lesjamusic

"I often find myself using Borderlands Granular on the iPad as a sketech pad for new ambient compositions. It's such a great use of the screen and the touchpad - it might just be my favourite granular instrument.

I wanted both Mannequins modules to run through Shakti and Dradd, and so I realised that Quadratt could be used as a small submixer too - super helpful.

Here's what's happening:
Borderlands Granular ➡️ Xcelon
Norns ➡️ Wsyn ➡️ Quadratt ➡️ Shakti ➡️ Dradd ➡️ Xcelon
Nerdseq ➡️ Just Friends ➡️ Quadratt ➡️ Shakti ➡️ Dradd ➡️ Xcelon
Tetrax ➡️ Data Bender ➡️ Xcelon
The Xcelon send and return channels go to Sealegs and Bib. Playfader controls p1 and p2 on Dradd, which is in granular mode"

Intellijel Planar2 jam session #intellijel #planar2 #eurorack

A couple of weeks ago I finally received one of the long awaited modular for my control rack, the intellijel Planar2. This helps to almost complete the controller section that I have been planning for some time.

In this video i wanted to do a quick and simple patch, using only the planar2 as controller.. but after some noodling the MI Ears also got to play a simple part during the test.

Modulation patch notes:

- Planar X output to MI Braids Timbre IN
- Planar Y output to MI Braids Color IN
- Planar A Axis out to MI Ripples FREQ IN
- Planar B Axis out to to intellijel uVCF FM1 (freq) IN
- Planar C Axis out to MI Rings Damping IN
- Planar D Axis out to MI Rings Structure IN
- MI ears envelope out to Rings Strum IN

Sensititivy on MI Ears is half way through the video set to max so when tapping the Planar2 it triggers the strum input on MI Rings through the ENV out.

Audio patch notes:

- MI braids OUT -- Ripples LP4 -- uCVF HPF -- Quadratt mixer
- MI rings OUT ( odd ) -- Quadratt mixer
- Quadratt Mixer out -- Strymon ICE delay -- EQD transmisser
- 2 track recorder

I hope you can enjoy this little demo jam session :)

intellijel Triatt & Quadratt

"The Triatt and Quadratt provide an essential utility module that can be used as attenuators, attenuverters, DC voltage sources, and a mixer."

Modular Ambient Performance: "One Last Thing" : Tides, Rings, Elements, Peaks, Veils, ONE

"One Last Thing: Patch Notes
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Yet more patching with my smaller, Mutable Instruments-focused case. Wanted to practice a more ambient, simplistic melody approach, but with "movements" or different sections as variations on a theme.
