Tech, No Enfermo & Filter Spank

"This recording was made using one each of the first two Ian Fritz 4U modular synthesizer panels. These panels are 100% Serge-compatible, but make a great little system on their own!

Other than some minimal EQ and level adjustments, this was recorded with no external effects or controllers.

I don't often take good patch notes, but I will try to briefly describe the basic patch idea. I like trying to make groove-based multitimbral tracks using smaller modulars, so that was the idea with this recording.

I am using the ChaQuO as the master clock in this patch. Since there are comparator inputs on the 4x4 and All-In envelope generators and the TGTSH S&H modules, the smooth, wiggly chaos outputs can be used for timing purposes.

The two drum sounds are the Teezer VCOs. Both are fairly simple pretty drum patches. The bass drum is the raw sine output, while the triangle output of the other Teezer is being processed by the Wavolver II waveshaper for the second percussion sound.

The bass line is the DoubleDeka graphic VCO being run through the Teezer VCF.

I may have been using the Chaotica for audio-rate modulation at some point as well.

There is a lot of flexibility using this two panels system!
