Beats on Analogue Solutions' Vostok Deluxe

Published on Dec 15, 2013 Nico Discordia

"Playing with a basic beat on my Vostok.

The core of it is a simple white noise going through both filters, HP & LP, whose cutoffs are modulated by the step sequencer. EQ1 is the main envelope, which modulates the HP cutoff and VCA. EQ2 is a secondary envelope, which modulates the LP cutoff for a bit of extra bite, and which I'm bringing in and taking out midway. I am using LFO1 as a triangle VCO to add body on the low beats (and to bring the square wave into the mix at the end). The rest is 'just' playing with VCF2's screeeeaaaaaming resonance, at low level and then mid level.

Ears protection note: I played this patch through a strong compression (dbx 1066) because the level of the resonance is lethal otherwise. The main noise+triangle wave is significantly thinned down by the action of both HP and LP, so the resonance just screams a few order of magnitudes above the level of the main beat.

Enjoy!"
