Modular Jam 48

"Patch Notes:

Guitar Loops
Guitars performed and recorded by the fabulous Rich Prewett before being chopped and mangled

Lead Voice
The Rene pattern starts to feedback (via Woggle CV from the Wogglebug being fed Rene's pitch output and clock) at around 4:30 or so. From there the pattern continues to bend and wind as the attenuator gets wiggled until it gets snapped back to the familiar refrain

The patch itself consists of Rene driving the STO and Rubicon which are cross modulating:
Rubicon's sine is going through the uVCA (enveloped by Intellijel ADSR) into the STO linear FM
STO's sine goes through Optomix ch 1 enveloped by Maths into the TZFM input on Rubicon (full CW so not through zero)
The cross modulated output of the STO is additionally shape modulated by SUM out from Maths (which includes some offset and some PEG) and piped into the Optomix ch 2 enveloped by other Maths with Sequencer 1's LFO providing Damping modulation

Unlike most of my patches this one has not been subjected to any post processing: no reverbs, no delays or phasers; processing only seemed to obscure the nicer details of this particular patch.

West Coast Bass Patch
STO vari out to Optomix 2 enveloped and struck by Maths. STO sine out to Timbre input. Dynamic (uVCA opened by Woggle stepped out) FM from Sputnik 2
Timbre modulated by Maths
Optomix 1 opened by Intellijel ADSR and Damp modulated by Sequencer 1
Sequencer 1 LFO modulating Maths fall (Optomix ch 2)

East Coast Bass Patch
Rubicon square out and some noise from the Quantum Rainbow put through the Post Lawsuit Filter into the AJH Minimod VCA enveloped by Minimod EG and Intellijel ADSRs with some gentle PEG'ing and Pittsburgh Oscillator LFO'ing

Robot Humming Patch
In Kaivo I ran modulating Compressor Hiss through the metal string and one of the chambers
Then that rich timbre dancing mess got put through Array where the spectral filtering was sequenced

Pluck Patches
Fairly straightforward Ngarjuna Make Noise plucks: STO FM'd by Rubicon into Optomix, add Maths and PEG
The alternating line with the more common 3 note pluck is a variation using the two Sputniks cross modulating through the Timbre and into the other Optomix channel. Quantum Rainbow provided some additional modulation

Acid cooked in Klanghelm SDRR
Drums in Spark (electronic) and Jamstix (shakers and hand percussion)

and of course my trusty Tektronix 422 scope providing the trippy light show."
