Patch Notes #3 - Karplus Strong with Mutable Warps Parasite

Published on Jul 8, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Here's a patch using the Karplus Strong string synthesis patch with the Mutable Instruments Warps Parasite firmware delay modes, based on our most recent Eurorack modular synth tutorial.

Braids is routed through one channel on the Optomix, where it is modulated by an envelope from the ADLFO triggered by Euclidean Rhythms from the Ornament and Crime. The attenuated signal is then sent to Warps to excite the delay. The Karplus tone is being excited using the chord based wavetable mode in Braids rather than a noise source as we heard in the tutorial.

Warps is then routed through another channel on Optomix and then out to a mixer. The VCA is being opened by a channel on Maths, tweaking the decay time throughout.

The kick drum is coming from the Basimilus Iteritas, pitch modulated with an envelope from Maths to give it some punch. Hihat is a noise based signal based in the Scooper. All signals are being rhythmically triggered via the Ornament and Crime, which is in turn being clocked from Tempi. Pressure Points and Brains are used to modulate Euclidean Fill amounts on the three voices.

Tempi also clocking the Wogglebug and X-clock on René, with the Wogglebug stepped random out routed to the Y-CV input. The chaos knob is increased throughout to add some random shifting to the René pattern, which is modulating the delay time on Warps, creating the melodic sequence.
