“Finding the Right Words” (Triphase + Babel)

video upload by New Systems Instruments

"(Use headphones/good speakers or the hf might be too piercing.) Patch notes: another duophonic Triphase patch. Each mix out is going into Babel as the only input, taking the XSOME output, which means Babel is functioning as an octaver/saw-to-triangle shaper. These are going to the left and right inputs of the Quad Mid Side, then the L-R and X inputs are attenuated to narrow the mix (in stereo, X is just a second L-R). Output through some long reverb, pretty low in the mix. I’m using two channels of the Quad LFO plus two Phase Expanders to modulate the center of the two Babels and 2/3 phases of the Triphases. The Triphases are tuned to cancel the first two harmonics, so on top of Babel’s octaving that is being disturbed by LFOs to center, the pitch is much higher but there’s a whole bunch of sub harmonics that come out and blend with the higher frequency triangle waves.
