My Own Opus

"up close

here's a quick description of the patch:

pitches from metropolis, running through the disting to pitch it up and down by octaves and on to the shapeshifter. C major scale transposed by voltages from the first row of pressure points (second row of pressure points is patched but doing nothing). pressure points is stepped through by the sync output on metropolis, which triggers after 32 pulses have been fired (metropolis is running in fixed forward mode.

sound source is osc 1 and 2 of shapeshifter, running into the korgasmatron II which is being modulated by channels 1 (which is also doing nothing) and 4 of maths as well as a slow triangle lfo from the dixie II. from there audio goes into the uVca, which is controlled by peaks in expert envelope mode.

all audio then runs through a summing mixer setup, on to the outs and through a strymon el capistan before being recorded into the computer by way of the octatrack.

octatrack clocks the metropolis via midi and passes through audio, nothing else.

originally this patch had varied gate lengths modulated per step of the pressure points, but i decided i liked it better this way, which is why some parts of the patch aren't doing anything.
