036//Rainforest Nights - 2x Moog Mother 32 rich self-generating atmosphere

"An atmospheric self-generating patch using 2 Mother 32s sent through an Eventide Space modechoverb reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on tape setting.

Returning to using clicks and pops for creating self-generating atmospheres, I decided to put my 2 pedals through their paces. Glitchy clicks and self-oscillating filters feed into a warbling delay and modulated reverb for a richly textured forest soundscape.

PATCH NOTES:
The square LFOs are patched into the external audio inputs, creating clicks when they switch between high and low states. The cutoff and resonance of both filters is randomly modulated, occasionally driven into self-oscillation for notes. The rest of the patching just adds very slight variance to the patch, such as the oscillators being modulated by triangle LFOs for pitch swoops but being so quiet that they are usually inaudible. Most of the atmosphere comes from the tape emulation on the high-feedback delay (lots of wow, flutter, and some saturation), and the dense but quiet reverb.
