Hypnotic PLL Drone: MTL PURPLL Standalone Jam

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome to another jam on @abregegere! Grab a coffee, relax, and enjoy this unannotated, improvised ambient drone performance.

In this session, the Montreal Assembly (MTL) PURPLL is acting as a standalone sound source operating in drone mode. The signal is then sent into the Soma Cosmos for expansive looping and textures, and finally through the UAFX Golden Reverberator for that lush, final coat of space.

The endless array of melodies you hear are generated by the PURPLL’s Div and Mpy voices, which are being modulated by the internal LFO. What makes this patch particularly striking is that everything is playing in just intonation—meaning the harmonic and subharmonic intervals are based on exact, whole-number frequency ratios. Combine that perfect mathematical harmony with the gritty, "chip-tuney" character of the PURPLL, and it creates a beautifully chaotic but deeply musical jam.

MTL PURPLL ➡️ Soma Cosmos ➡️ UAFX Golden Reverberator

Audio Notes: This performance was recorded live, then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools."
