grayscale algorhythm module

"This is a demo of the new Grayscale Algorhythm module. It's a 100% modular one take video with a good measure of effects (ValhallaDSP and Eventide Eclipse). Best listen at high volume on a good system or good headphones.

The main voice is 2 detuned Cwejman VCO-6 filtered by a Toppobrillo Multifilter, enveloppes are 2 Malekko/Wiard Envelator.

The big evolving pad is a Mutable Instruments Braids oscillator (WMAP mode, 8bits, 8Khz - that's part of the trick), no filtering but a lot of shimmering effects to get this lush and deep tone (I love it !).

The third element is a long fieldrecording loop of hand manipulated stones from Iceland (they are precisely from Vonaskarð) - triggered in Ableton Live.

The main sequence is driven by 3 different clocks which gives this progressive poly-rhythm feel : one trig each beat (TipTopAudio Z8000), one trig each two beat (left Algorhythm module), one trig each three beat (Algorhythm module). The two Algorhythm modules' PATTERN OUT are mixed together, and trig the envelopes (Malekko Envelator) and the quantizer (TRIG IN of the Quantimator, which samples the CV sequence coming from the Z8000).

BTW, these Algorhythm modules are the first and only one in Iceland ... up to now :-)

ps : sorry for the "hiss" noise all along this video, it's an artefact of how I've recorded the audio with my digital camera."
