A Patch A Day, No. 12

Starts like a train whistle in the distances.

"Another drone-slanted patch. This time utilizing the µFade a little more clearly than yesterday's.

The core of the patch involves two dichotomies: the MMG having everything go through it, and resonances / overdriving the circuit in the usual way, and; the µFade managing two very different sounds.

I took three sine waves - two from the DPO and one from the Dixie II - to create a very simple triad. That went into one of the µFade channels. I also took the SUM of the Maths, which in this case has the pitched channels 1 and 4 outputting something delightful. I modulated the FALL of Ch. 1, which produces the lovely movement. That all gets fed into the MMG, which opens and closes very quickly, according to the Wogglebug CLOCK.

I also have the square out of the Dixie going into the RING MOD of the Wogglebug, which outputs the RING MOD to VCO B LIN of the DPO, which you hear when I turn those knobs. The VCO A LIN comes from the woggly oscillator on the Wogglebug. Really fun just plugging random signals into those LINs. Haven't regretted it yet.

I submix two quickly-oscillating Quadra channels, both of which have the decay modulated by the Wogglebug's stepped & woggly CV outs. That's what I'm doing when I turn up the lowest knob on the mixer.

At any rate, fun patch. The MMG sounds so wonderful when overloaded."
