Modular Beat

Modular Beat from Isotope Of Me on Vimeo.


"This little demonstration is day 1 with some new modules: No midi or computer was used to generate the sound, this is strictly modular synth only, alone, with nothing else, at all, and stuff. This patch consists of 2 oscillators, 1 filtet, 1 doepfer quad eg, the 4ms RCD, an LFO, a Ring Modulator, a noise source, TipTop Audio ZDSP, and a Doepfer VC Mixer.

Both of the oscillators and the filter are doing double duty as modulators and sound sources. The LFO is triggering the RCD, which in turn is sending triggers to the quad envelope generator. The EGs are driving the CV inputs of the 4 input CV mixer which is acting as 4 vcas. The filter is self oscillating, and being ring modulated by one of the outputs of the Z3000.

All of that, in turn, is being fed into the right and left inputs of the ZDSP using the dragonfly delay card. The stereo delay is set to a very short delay time, with 50% feedback, and a LPF filtering out the high frequency ringing. I can’t call it Karplus Strong, but I can call it Karplus Weak. The delay is giving the beat a lot of its body, and bass."
