Hank Venture's Umbrella Ride

Mankato Filter demo via STG

"here's another chune i worked up. the Mankato is used on every track. it's called 'Hank Venture's Umbrella Ride.'

i suppose it's a dance track, but a DJ i gave it to today described it as "shiftey" ... better for listening to not so good for dancing. this is probably a side effect of being 5 tracks of improvisation to tape, mixed live with the desk at mixdown. all the sequencing is the Trigger Mini-Store and the Voltage Mini-Store. i used the x0xb0x only to stripe the tape machine with din sync, and as a keyboard controller for the "lead" "melody" track.

the kick drum is the distorted sine from the 6 db output of the Mank, the hats use the Mank as a mixer for the 3 Q106s modulating each other as a metallic noise source (need to work a bit more on that sound), the bass is a couple Q106s filtered from the 24 db output of the Mankato, the chords are 3 Q106s (tuned to a chord, with 2 of the 3 oscillators modulated by the Voltage Mini-Store) through the 18db output (i think. i had intended to but i might have accidentally used another output), and the lead line uses the 6 db output with heavy regeneration.
