Dusty Patches Microset | Octatrack & Modular Synth

Published on Jul 5, 2017 Dusty Patches

"Composed on Eurorack modular synth and sampled into the Octatrack.

I began by creating chord progressions by patching Pressure Points to Ornament & Crime Acid Curds. PP gives you a bunch of knobs and 4 presets for setting chord shapes, root notes, etc.O_C sends pitch data to four different voices - Waveforms, Clouds, Loquelic, and Braids. The voices are triggered in interesting rhythms by Pam's New Workout. With a patch like this you can easily create interesting chord progressions.

The results were sampled into the Octatrack, where all the percussion, arrangement, and some effects were done. The Octatrack is also sending MIDI sequence data to the QMI2, which relays it in turn to Loquelic Iteritas and Braids for live modular goodness.

All of this audio is then routed back into the modular for more effects processing. fxbox is patched to Pressure Points for different touch effects. Choices provides a joystick to control the timbre of Loquelic Iteritas. And the Octatrack has two handfuls of live performance tweaking fun. I'm switching between the delay control and quick mute pages on the Octatrack. The crossfader is fading between different scenes of effects programmed in the arranger."
