PolyKrell Rby Dcramer by dcramer

"Interesting take on the Krell patch using a Shapeshifter to create a chordal harmony part. Lead voice is AFG to uFold to uMod to Korgasmatron.

The Poly Krell patch uses only one Maths with one side cycling to provide the VC Env and tempo changing clock that in turn triggers the other side of Maths, used as an envelope for the chordal voice. Maths also clocks the A-149 which provides the random pitches and a two random control voltage which are separately summed to twin LFOs to create the two control voltages that control the rate of both Maths attack and decay separately. The LFOs are frequency modulated by the slower of the clocked random voltages. The chordal voice is controlled the same way but is randomly sample and held from the melody four times less frequently than the melody and the chord type is cycled through four different types. The lead voice is a simple waveform being wavefolded, ring modulated by itself and filtered, with the Maths envelope subtly modulating the folder and filter to create the almost clarinet/bassoon type articulations. The trick to the patch is in tuning the Maths to give you the range of tempo changes you want and the random pitch range you want and in tuning in the range of folder and filter in the voice channels. Basically the patch is a variation on a combination of Strange's Dream Machine and Barton's Krell patch with the addition of the chordal oscillator."
