Modular : Fun with SynthTech E350, E440, and Friends

Published on Aug 20, 2017 Mike Thomas

"Not really a complete musical piece -- more of an experimental romp with a patch I set up with the E350 and E440 as the centerpieces and Qu-Bit Chance and Disting as the "drivers".

Experimenting with a patch such as this is where most of my musical ideas come from. Not sure this one will become anything, but it was sure fun to play with.

Patch Notes
==========
The E350's XY and Z outputs are mixed, and the resulting mix is split to two different processing routes.

One route goes through Warps, then Streams (into a vactrol channel, over to a limiter/compressor channel), and on to 2hp Delay and Verb, then to final mix.

The other route goes through the E440, and on to Clouds and then final mix. There is no envelope/VCA in this route.

Lots o' modulation provided by Chance. Its various random outputs are used to modulate Warps algorithm and timbre, and to modulate the E350's wave selections, and the E440's frequency cutoff.

Chance's clock drives Disting in Turing Machine mode, which feeds E350's v/oct input.

I provide overarching modulation and just have some fun experimenting."
