"Here is an ambient piece constructed from the Blofeld, XT, and MicroQ.

What was fun was that there is no arpeggiators or single notes played. I simply held down two note octave chords for minutes at a time. The only keyboard entry changes are the key signature changes.
The Blofeld does the entry sounds and some of the pitch-shifted tonal bendings are a Blofeld patch. The bass line is the XT and the main moving part is the MicroQ. What makes it sound like a slow arpeggiator doing the motion is actually the LFO's in square wave timed to modify the pitch. All three synths are doing the same thing essentially. This idea came from the Blofeld factory patch G014 Comb Tree. That patch is included at the beginning and towards the end.
The whole piece consists of four tracks.
There is a track with a string and noise modulated patch from the Korg R3 and Clavia Nord Lead 2X that underlies the background. It is almost completely masked by the Waldorfs and can only be heard at the very beginning and just after midway. I could make a Waldorf patch to do the same thing but was playing around during the track writing when I came up with this mullti-patch so I left it in."

Another point I should include is that I used the Novation ReMOTE SL37 controller to send pressure data to the synths. The pitch bending and overdrive to the Blofeld filters (which is awesome!) was controlled this way. Detuning and wavetable sweeping on the MicroQ and MicroWaveXT was also controlled simultaneously in the same manner.
ReplyDeleteEssentially this is alive track except for the background R3 and Lead2X.
