Patching Rests with VCAs

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Pete from the Make Noise Instagram channel here, filling in this week with a video all about VCAs and silence... sort of (and also not really).

In this video I share three different patches for introducing rests and dynamic modulation using (1) a Maths + TEMPI combination, (2) a 0-Coast + 0-CTRL pairing and (3) an X-PAN + Ch.Svr duo.

Timestamps:
0:00 - introduction
1:07 - the Binary Zone
2:05 - a Binary Zone-inspired John Blacet tribute patch with Maths + TEMPI
5:30 - a "one-cable" 0-CTRL patch
8:20 - an X-PAN + Ch.Svr 'balanced modulator' patch (two variations)
15:27 - outro
