Improvisation - Streaga & Mood

video upload by junklight

It appears YouTube isn't autogenerating thumbnails at the moment. Just hit play to start and all will be well.

"Double Trilogy part 2

I've been exploring the 'double trilogy' of the Make Noise desktop synths and the recent Chase Bliss pedals

In today's episode I'm exploring Streaga and Mood. As you may have discovered if you've ever played on one - Strega is a noisy bugger and has a bit of mind of its own. Playing it can be a bit of a 'collaboration' with what it wants.

There are two parts - one faster one slower. Slightly better camera angle than last week too - my hand isn't constantly in the way ."

☄️The Surface of Jupiter🚀 ~ OB6 | Clouds | Magneto | CXM 1978

video upload by Postmodern Machine

"Hey 🌿

A month or so ago I visited a friend's farm and took some shots that I really loved with the Fuji X-T30. I decided to pair these with an outdoor ambient experiment featuring the looping mode on the Strymon Magneto 🎧

The Sequential OB-6 is fed into the Monsoon (Mutable Clouds Copy) for a bit of texture, then into the Strymon Magneto in sound-on-sound looper mode. The dry signal is fairly low and the loop is quite long (I believe more than 30 seconds). The loop is slowly decaying and degrading. It's such a slow degradation that my previous performance is a bed under the final performance when it starts. I was going for something lazy, hazy, and noisy.

For some polish, the CXM 1978 is run in an effects loop from the modular on a static and drifty setting. It was a joy to perform this. I just had to be careful not to play any dissonant notes which would then be looped indefinitely 🤯

I performed and filmed the jam on my back porch. I have been loving setting up outside and creating with the sounds of nature around me🌱

🌍Brittany Spheres 🌐 - Juno 60 / Shallow Water / CXM 1978

video upload by Postmodern Machine

"Hi 🌊

I'm jamming with the Chase Bliss/Meris CXM 1978 & Fairfield Shallow Water while bringing some of my tools out into the light of day for a dust off. 🌤 These pedals are fairly new to me and I'm liking them so far. What do you think? 🌿

The mighty Juno 60 is patched into the Shallow Water in mono, then straight into the CXM and then to my Fuji X-T30 which is recording both the audio and video.

I'm using the arp on the Juno to keep my hands more free for tweaking.

This is mixed in reaper through my standard mixbus and a small amount of additional compression/eq/saturation was added.

Sequential OB6 and Thermae Ambient Bells

video upload by riotbell

"This is a short piece pairing the OB6 and the Chase Bliss Thermae. Just a gentle sequenced piece meant to simulate slightly detuned bells.

I think the Mercury 7 actually provides more texture than anything. I don't know if I'd call the M7 underrated, but it really does rich spacey soundscaping better than just about any reverb I've so far used.

Thanks for listening."

Habittronics - an updated take on Frippertronics with the Chase Bliss Habit

video upload by junklight

"Fripp famously said about Frippertronics 'a way for one person to make an awful lot of noise. Wonderful!' - this is just me and a synth and the Chase Bliss Habit (there is an expression pedal out of sight) and reverb and crust supplied by the Screen Violence from Old Blood Noise. Lots of fun to be had with this"

OXI ONE and Habit, with Collider and MicroFreak - Cabin jam

Chase Bliss Habit: Good For Synth?

video upload by Matt Lowery

"This video was not supposed to be about the Chase Bliss Habit. It was supposed to be about CXM 1978. But as I started playing, Habit really took center stage.

Here is the thing: it's amazing on synths as a weird delay. Collect mode opens it up even farther."

NEW HABITAT BEAT [ TE OP-1 OP-Z AND CHASEBLISS HABIT ]

video upload by leonardoworx

"This is a really fun Lo-fi boombap tune made with the Teenage Engineering OP-Z and OP-1 (paired with the wonderful ChaseBliss Habit).
While the OP-Z is used for drum parts and bass line, the OP-1 is used (also live) to send melodies processed by the Habit, that create a stunning melodic 'Chaos' :)

This tune will be in the tracklist of my upcoming album "UNCOMMON", available on all digital music platforms since next Tuesday 10th May."

Ambient Synth Jam w/ Chase Bliss Habit, Microcosm, Sequential Pro 3, Prophet X, UAFX pedals

video upload by MKDVB

"Epic ambient synth jam with Chase Bliss Habit pedal and Hologram Microcosm manipulating a single sequence via the Sequential Pro 3 and Prophet X via a mixer send/return channels. Normally I would not list the pedals before the synth but in this case, the Chase Bliss Habit pedal and Microcosm are really doing the heavy lifting in manipulating the sounds from the Prophet X and Pro 3, which is sequencing both synths with the same line. The Chase Bliss Habit really is a Song / Echo Collector capable of creating clouds of ambient synth jam goodness, like you hear here.

You can hear a resemblance of the original sequence around the 6 minute mark.

Generally speaking the Prophet X + Chase Bliss Habit pedal + UAFX pedals are playing the bassline and the Pro 3 + Microcosm the higher lines but using them in send /return with a mixer allows lots of flexibility so throughout the track, I would send different sources and even send the output of one into the other.

Sequential Pro 3 - original sequence, high melody line
Sequential Prophet X (sequenced by Pro 3) - bass line
Chase Bliss Habit pedal - transmogrification of original sequence

00:00 Pro 3 + Microcosm high notes / Prophet X + Habit + UAFX bass
02:45 Microcosm only drone into glitching out Pro 3 and Habit
04:17 Prophet X + Habit fade back in
05:41 Pro3 + Habit + UAFX only, with Prophet X looped in memory
06:00 Original sequence audible
07:00 Habit sequence transmogrification!
08:10 Microcosm shimmer added"

Chase Bliss Habit Overview and Demo with Eurorack and CV Expression

video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Karl from Patchwerks gives an in-depth overview of the Chase Bliss Habit with help from Mutable Instruments Plaits and Mutable Instruments Stages. Demonstration includes examples of modulation via a modular synthesizer.

Habit is a delay with a memory. It lets you break away from the present moment and create echoes of the past instead. Or both at once. It does this by recording every sound that goes into the pedal, so you can revisit them later. You can collect sounds you made 2 minutes ago and turn them into loops, or harmonize along with old playing, or build impossible echo patterns.

It’s an effect that can become an instrument at any time, an evolving paint-splatter of everything you do. A musical sketchpad.

Or it could just be a fun delay:
-60 seconds of delay time
-Modifiers
-Multi-tap
-Looping

Record free-form songs right in the pedal, navigate through a whole performance with the turn of a knob, and yes, make echoes.

Making A Track In Three Minutes With The Chase Bliss Habit

video upload by HAINBACH

"Habit is a new lovely loop guitar pedal by the super-combo of @Knobs and @Chase Bliss Audio. It records a 3 minute loops constantly in the background, and scans through that. This is a concept that fits my style very well, and I had fun from the start. Here is a track I made in 3 minutes for the compilation 'Habitapes' they plan to release soon on cassette."

via Chase Bliss

Habit is a delay with a memory. It stores everything you play for later, so you can revisit and reuse sounds from the past: Gather up loops, design echo patterns, and harmonize with yourself from two minutes ago.

It’s an effect that can be turned into an instrument on a whim, an evolving paint-splatter of everything you do. Or it could just be a fun echo.

Habit’s secret is a digital tape reel that records every sound that enters the pedal. As long as Habit is on, it’s recording.

At any moment, you can scan back into this history and play moments from the past–instead of, or alongside the present. This architecture makes a pile of interesting things possible: never-before-heard delays, bizarre loops and transitions, and even entire songs captured right inside the pedal...

Habit features advanced connectivity and customization options including MIDI, CV and Expression control, sync, presets, and internal modulation of any or all its knobs.

Moog Matriarch + Sequential Pro 3 Generative Ambient Dreamscape

video upload by MKDVB

"I could listen to the Moog Matriarch doing its self generative ambient dreamscape music for hours. This time around, I patched in the Sequential Pro 3 for added textural ambient synth goodness. The small eurorack modular rig was all patched up but between the Matriarch, Pro 3 and Microvolt 3900, the soundscape was full enough.

Sequential Pro 3 - Lead ambient synth sounds

Marble Jam //Marbles/Subharmonicon/Mother 32/STO/Rings/Tides/Magneto/Maestro/Voltage Block//

video upload by Aleatoric Machine

"I’ve wanted to try this for a while. The two channels from Mutable Instruments Marbles are playing the two channels of Moog Subharmonicon, with a sound that reminds me of a Fender Rhodes, through Strymon Magneto. A couple different clocked LFOs from Acid Rain Maestro cause the pitches from Marbles to keep gravitating back to the tonic, with some jamming in between. Mutable Instruments Rings repeats a single note in a Euclidean rhythm coming from ALM Pamela’s New Workout, but modulating the structure causes the ringing to drift up and down from a fifth to an octave. Moog Mother 32 and Make Noise STO double on the bass line. When the melody finally comes it, it is Mutable Instruments Tides through Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl, Mood, and Dark World. Malekko Voltage Block handles the mix scenes, with Mutable Instruments Stages providing slew in between."

Two by Four //Subharmonicon/Mother 32/Plaits/Rings/Tides/Mimeophon/Magneto//

video upload by Aleatoric Machine

"The fun part about this patch is that all of the pitch sequencing comes from the Moog Subharmonicon. Including the bass line. Subharmonicon starts doing its thing with the two four note sequences. It goes through Make Noise Mimeophon to double up the polyrhythm pattern. Mutable Instruments Rings follows the pitch of sequence one, while Mutable Instruments Plaits (in a Rings-ish voice) follows sequence two. Moog Mother 32 samples and holds a pitch from sequence two at random intervals. Both sequences run into Expert Sleepers Disting mk4 in min/max mode. Mutable Instruments Tides and Make Noise STO double up on the base line, which is the min value of the two sequences, periodically switching to the max value (when it sounds like it goes to the 4 chord). The overall mix sequencing is handled by Malekko Voltage Block, with 2x Make Noise Maths controlling the slow fade between settings.

Also starring Intellijel Steppy sequencing Mosaic drum modules, XAOC Zadar and Qu-Bit Chance for modulation, Mutable Instruments Stages for some LFOs, Strymon Magneto on Plaits, and Chase Bliss Mood and Happy Nerding FX Aid on Mother 32."

video upload by Aleatoric Machine

"Eurorack modular synthesizer performance.
Variations on 3 different 4 note sequences.
Moog Subharmonicon generates the 2 primary rhythmic sequences, running through Strymon Magneto. Sub 1 of the first sequence runs through its own output, then through 2hp MMF and Make Noise Optomix for the rhythmic bass line.
Moog Mother 32 generates the descending drone sequence, which is doubled by Make Noise STO tuned up an octave, both run through Chase Bliss Mood, tuned up a fifth.
Mutable Instruments Rings follows the pitch of the descending sequence, with a bouncing ball rhythmic pattern generated by Make Noise Maths and Function, then run through Make Noise Mimeophon. The drifting harmonic tone on top (unison, +5, +12) is the result of modulating the structure of the Rings sound.
Mutable Instruments Plaits chimes the fifth at the beginning of every 8 bars, as well as being trigger by the end of rise on the Function.
Drums are coming from Mosaic Bass, Snare & Hi-Hat modules, sequenced by Intellijel Steppy 1U. Decay on Hi-Hat is a 7 step pattern generated by Mutable Instruments Stages.
The volume and filter cutoff for the drums and rhythmic bass are controlled by Make Noise Pressure Points, with decay slew controlled by a second Make Noise Maths.
Lots of modulation across different parameters is generated by Ornament & Crime and Qu-Bit Chance.
I think that's it."

Moog Matriarch // Cosmic Jazz Shimmer PATCH

video upload by Dexba

"Sometimes I feel like I am completely missing the point with some synths.
Using filters just to ping them, a TD-3 with a closed cutoff, a Sequential PRO3 with no modulation, a Matriarch with slow attach, and no patch cable.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME. This time I went all-in with the patch cables and what the Moog Matriarch could offer me.
I got the stereo. I got that modulated by another modulation, I got the delay sync'ed but also modulated and as a source of modulation FOR THE OTHER MODULATIONS!

What I got is a sometimes shimmer-y, sometimes jazz-y, sometimes just like a sequence random but lovable, a tool for HOURS of enjoyment, sampling, and getting lost with other external effects.
Here you'll see "just" a plain reverb, but imagine adding another delay, pitch-shifting stuff, choruses, or who knows what!
I am very proud of what I've done, and I was eager to share it with you all 💝
Enjoy ✨"

Elektron Digitakt + CXM1978 + GRP A2 // Ambient lofi beat

video upload by Dexba

"As an old meme once said: 'I don't always pull out the Digitakt. But when I do, I always end up amazed by how simple and yet versatile it is.'

Having 2 LFO's per track, modulating modulation, quickest sampling EVER (even for a lazy ass player like me), MIDI tracks to be able to quickly play external instruments!

This all started with the loop I put in track 8, a little arpeggio on the Matriarch, that I listened to for many many hours without knowing what to do with it. Then I decided to stop being lazy, so I pulled out the Digitakt and I started flipping the sample, recorded one drone note with the GRP, recorded water, recorded birds, and even some vinyl scratching because... you know, that's the way these things go down.

In the past few days, I've had trouble sleeping, and I have to admit I resorted to my own video quite a bit, mixed with some other sounds of nature.

Everything sounded beautiful already without reverb, but then I remembered I OWN A F***ING Chase Bliss CXM1978! I attached that, I turned the CREAMY factor on the GRP to 11, and... here we are: MY FIRST AMBIENT JAM EVER!"
