Intellijel Corgasmatron percussive + melodic

"Hello my name is Solvent and this is a 2-part video demonstration of the Intellijel Corgasmatron eurorack VCF, using it's screaming resonant filters for percussive / subbass / metallic mayhem. No audio signals (VCOs / noise) are being passed through the VCF - what you hear is coming strictly via the Corgasmatron's self-oscillating filters.

All of the sequencing is done via a Make Noise setup -- Brains, 2x Pressure Points, and clocked by a MATHS.

In the first part, only the LPF is used. It's being modulated by an MFB ADSR, and the Make Noise B+PP. The MATHS is being used as a slew/portamento occasionally.

In the 2nd part, Make Noise B+PP is also sequencing a Jomox MBase01 kick, and a Snare part created with MS-20 white noise into a YuSynth Arp VCF. The Cogasmatron's signal path is set up just like an MS20 - HPF into LPF in series. HPF is being modulated by PP+B (FM2), + a Tip Top Audio z3000 mk2 VCO (FM1). I used the z3000's sine wave out (I think). The z3000 is also being sequenced by the PP+b. LPF is being modulated by MFB ADSR (FM2), and PP+B (FM1)."

"Hello my name is Solvent and this is a video demonstration of the Intellijel Corgasmatron eurorack VCF, being used here on a melodic bassline part.

Sequencing is done via a Make Noise setup -- Brains, 2x Pressure Points, and clocked by a MATHS.

Make Noise B+PP is also sequencing a Jomox MBase01 kick, and a Snare part created with MS-20 white noise into a YuSynth Arp VCF. The Cogasmatron's signal path is set up just like an MS20 - HPF into LPF in series.

The VCOs are a Tip Top Audio Z3000 mk2 + a DinSync OSC303, with a little vibrato courtesy of a Livewire Vulcan LFO. Their pitch is controlled by Ch1 of the PP+B, with the CVs quantized through an Intellijel uStep.

HPF is being modulated by ch2 of PP+B (through the MATHS for occasional slew/portamento), and by an MFB ADSR. LPF is being modulated by ch3 of PP+B, and by MFB ADSR.

This configuration, sequencing these 2 distinctive filters in series, is a big part of why the MS-20 has been so indispensable to my sound over the years - so much movement to the sound, and it really sits in a mix so well. If you've listened a lot of Solvent music, you've likely heard this sound from me before. This Intellijel filter nails the MS-20 essence here - hollow and wooden one minute, then sizzling and razor-acidic the next."
