Modular Synth Live Performance: "The Cartel" (@obrienmedia)


Published on Jan 6, 2015 Patrick OBrien

"I'm still fairly new to modular synthesis (5 months into it), and this is my first full song performing live. No computers used. No editing.

Audio recorded straight into to a GoPro Hero 4 (using 3.5mm Mic Adapter). It was hard to get the right mix since the GoPro has built in compression I can't control. It's not an ideal device for recording audio, but I wanted to capture audio with the live performance.

The main modules used here:
-Kick is Mutable Instruments Peaks
-Snare is Noise Engineering's Basimilus Iteritas
-Hats are from the Noisering filtered by Mutable Instrument's Ripples

The most difficult task: working with the Pittsburgh VILFO as my clock source at a very slow 4 BPM! Made the hats glitchy in previous recording attempts, but this one finally worked out nicely.

The oscillators used:
-Mutable Instruments Braids
-Pittsburgh Oscillator
-The Harvestman's Hertz Donut MK2.

Synthesizer is Dave Smith Instrument's Mopho.
