Kraftzwerg as an IDM-Groovemachine

"A 4 Voice!!!-Jam
with the monophonic synthesizer Kraftzwerg

4 "Midi to CV"-Tracks were used for controlling the 3 Oscillators individually.

The 1st Midi-Track controls the Frequency of Oscillator 1 and sends the appropriate Trigger Signal to Envelope 1. Env. 1 is connected with the Filter.

The 2nd Midi-Track contains also Frequency- and Trigger-Signals. But this ones controls Osc. 2.
Osc 2 is connected to the VCA who is controlled by the Envelope 2.
This produces the higher Percussive Effects.

The 3rd Midi-Track sends the Frequency (Pitch) to Osc. 3.
Because the Kraftzwerg has not more Envelopes or Mixers left, Osc. 3
is modulated by the Autofilter of Ableton Live with a Sample&Hold.
This Midi-Track plays the lower Bassline.

The 4th Midi Track contains very short Frequency-Voltages for Osc. 3. This Notes plays the higher Melody.

Due to the fact that Osc. 3 is processed by a Reverb and a Delay and the Pitch changements are very short, you got the impression of hearing a duophonic Melody sorting out from Oscillator 3!

Also a separate Midi Track was recorded with CC-Datas from the Kaosspad.
The Kaosspad is processing OSC 1 and 2 from the Kraftzwerg nearly like a random-processor.

I added also some connections from both LFO's to the Oscillator 1 and 2."
