Morgasmatron Drum Filtering

Published on Feb 7, 2019 Intellijel

"A drum loop playing on Ableton live is fed into the Mormastmatron VCF. The uMidi is also synced to the DAW and provides a divided clock pulse that drives Steppy and advances through a simple 4-note sequence on Scales. This sequence pitch controls the cutoff frequency of the right channel of Morgasmatron to get a melody when it is fully resonating. When you back off the Q you are left with resonance 'trails'.
The left side of Morgasmatron is in BP mode and has distortion engaged for a gnarly sound.
The full filter tone is blended with the dry original loop with a Mixup module.

Just a quick play with some dirty beats.

With its distortion and dual multimode crossfading filters, Morgasmatron provides some great options for filtering drums.

By setting the Q just below self resonance, the input signal can excite the filter to resonate in time to the groove."
