KALEIDOSCOPE. Multitimbral Harmony Experiment

video upload by Vadjuse

"Hi. In this video, I want to explore how a harmonic progression would sound if, instead of identical sounds on each track, there were different ones.

I also added some FM interaction between the tracks. Patch details below.

Track 1. This is a regular bass with a glide.
Track 2. This is a sawtooth plus an opening filter with resonance.
Track 3. This is a triangle that morphs into a sawtooth.
Track 4. This is a copy of Track 3.

Track 3 experiences FM modulation of the sounds of Track 1 and Track 2.
Track 4 modulates Track 1.

Track 4 sidechains the volume of Track 3.
Track 3 sidechains the volume of Track 2.
Track 2 sidechains the volume of Track 1.
Track 1 sidechains the volume of Track 4.
This adds even more dynamics to the sound.

In this patch, the order in which the notes are played is very important. The interval between different voices also becomes a ratio for FM synthesis. Some intervals sound harmonious and bold, while others add inharmonic notes, which sounds very cool.

Skilled keyboardists will probably find this a new direction for sound exploration.
