Plan B doing homage to Buchla
YouTube via dkimcg
"I took the new synth in today to get some adjustments done. While I was there Peter Grenader, the genius behind the PlanB modules showed me some tricks and how to properly use some of these modules thus opening my mind up to the Buchla philosophy of synthesis. It was such a great experience meeting the man behind the instrument, almost like a modern day version of a violin maker.
Well, this is what I did when I got home after watching Peter do some simple, but amazing patches on my synth. The last video was me running rampant on the PlanB, this one shows why I chose these modules. This is the first of many patches that will have that Buchla inspired PlanB sound.
Thanks Peter!
The only thing added was reverb on the computer. I borrowed a LFO from the Filtered Coffee to get the time base to vary by using the control processor. Other than that, it's all self contained Plan B modules."

id love to hear some of the tips you got from peter and more details of how this patch works.
ReplyDeleteKinda hard to make out the modules on youtube :p
I was going to try making a video of a simpler patch that gets a similar sound to show how this patch works. It's mostly the Model 24 Heisenberg Generator generating timing and notes, the bass notes are a result of an LFO passing through the Model 14 which has the min output used to modulate pitch and the VC Deviation of the Model 24's stepped output. That "fwap" or "Thunk" envelope is the Model 13 Multitimbral Gates opening and closing instead of a standard ADSR. The gates are opened and closed using the Model 10 Polyphic Envelope Generator. It's an amazing module. Attack and decay faster than a ms, but also able to stay open for minutes. Peter's built some really nice modules.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of reverb was it?
