GOLT! Unobtainium (Furthrrrr Generator, Jomox XBASE, Modular Synthesizer)

Published on Feb 9, 2015 GOLT Modular

"Modular Synthesizer jam with live vocals. Based around the Endrophines Furthrrrr Generator and Jomox XBASE 888.

This is the first time I recorded vocals while improvising live, which was more difficult than I thought. Especially because I can't record on separate channels which would allow me to post process them. I actually record everything to a single mono track in logic. My mixer is also to far away to reach so I can't even change the levels while I'm playing. This meant the microphone was on the whole time, so you can here my chair squeaking and button pushing in the background.

This is patch was also about me getting to know the Furthrrrr Generator, which is based on the Bulcha 259. There are quite a few modules like this now, including the Make Noise DPO and the Sputnik Dual Oscillator.

I only used the Carrier Oscillator in this patch, I bypassed the Modulator and used the 4MS PEG (Pingable Envelope Generator) instead.

Most of the sounds were based around the three wave shapers, but I also used the uLFO shaped sine to the FM input of the Furthrrrr Carrier. To change the pitch of the Carrier I used the Hard Sync input driven by the Analogue Systems RS95E (best single oscillator ever made).

There was no filter used with the oscillator at all. All the timbre changes were produced by the wave shapers. The only filter used in this track was on the drums (the VCF303) but I forgot to actually use it until the very end.

The track is called Unobtainium by GOLT!

Thanks for watching!"
