Life Within the Vapor

"A second feedback patch with MI Clouds, Rings, Makenoise Echophon and Music Thing Spring Reverb. The modular is a mix of 5U and 3U Eurorack.

I used Pressure Points & Brains for a 7 step pitch voltage sequence and strum/trigger to Clouds and Rings.
The Z-DSP is used with Time Fabric (Intervals2) to pitch shift Clouds and Rings. Modifiers from two Turing Machines are used into right/left channels of Z-DSP. Loads of internal feedback applied.

This is my first patch with MI Frames (Parasite) and Euclidean Sequencer mode. A pair of Q106 vco's were used with the channel 3 cv out and FR Step output to do the two note bass line. The Bass Drum is channel 1 from another Q106, the snare is channel 2 of TipTop SD808 and the HiHat sound is channel 4 and a Piston Honda mk1.
The Piston Honda has LSB modified by Turing Machine volts and it is run through an MST Dual VCA with open/closed envelope from a Maths channel 4. The Maths has the Rise/Fall/BOTH input modified from the Turing Machine.
The speaking sounds are a sample capture from a radio broadcast into the Phonogene. Every input control except gene size and SOS mix are modified by LFO's from Intellijel Quadra and Mega Ohm Audio and Music Thing Turing Machines voltage stages.

The final sound voice is a pair of Q106 VCO's in hard sync (PWM*SAW) pitch driven by an STG Voltage Mini Store. It is sent through a Q107 State Variable Filter in high pass mode with the resonance modified by a tempo driven ramp from a Mega Ohm Audio LFO2. The center frequency has a hard sync reset slow ramp from a Q106.
The tempo clock is from the Echophon delay pulse out to various dividers like the 4MS RCD, QCD and Moon Modular M554 Octal Divider. The samples from the Phonogene are switched in and out randomly by a Yusynth Random Gates module then sent into a Modcan 73B Dual Delay in resample mode.

Other filters used were the Synthetic Sound Labs Steiner, Ken Stone CGS77 Serge 1973 State Variable Resonant, Oakley VCSVF and synthesizers.com Q150 transistor ladder 24dB/four pole and an FFB."
