Fun Modular Noodle on YouTube



via Brandon Daniel.
"This is my Sh101 controlling/playing with the doepfer and planB portion of my modular synth. Some Analogue Systems stuff is used (EGs, mults, VCAs, Mixers), but nothing that contributes a whole lot to the basic sound. More ASys modules are used in the effects that are heard, but more on that in a bit.

So what's happening? Initially I play the keys of the 101 by hand to give an idea of the timbre, but eventually the SH101 is playing back a sequence I tapped in earlier, it's CV is controlling the base pitch of a PlanB osc, which is running into a couple doepfer Lowpass Gates (one in filter mode, one in VCA mode). The audio out of the 101 is also FMing the frequency of the LPG in filter mode. The filter LPG has it's resonance up high, this is a good example of what vactrol filter resonance/clipping sounds like. The gate out of the sh101 is clocking my doepfer sequencer, initially in forward mode, later in random mode. The trigger outs of the sequencer are firing off EGs that control both LPGs. The step outs of one row of the seq are also controlling the filter cutoff.

When the doepfer seq is put into random mode, the end result is that while the pitch pattern is static, the notes being accentuated are somewhat random. A nice effect.

That signal is also run into my Analogue Systems midi delay module, the bitrate of the delay is set low, and the bitrate & feedback are being modulated by a midi synced LFO (from the ASYS midi interface), and the delay output is run into a bandpass filter courtesy of an ASys multimode. The frequency of that filter is modulated by yet a different LFO.

The OScope you see at the end is the dry signal from the LPG set to VCA mode, before it is run into the delay.

There are a few other things going on in the base patch, but I've already given the most important details."
