"given the current interest in Livewire, I've uploaded some tests of the Vulcan and Dalek modulators. Files can be found here."

"This track is more interesting as far as the patch goes than it actually sounds, but I wanted to share anyway...

The main sound source is one square wave oscillator from the Dalek Modulator. It's pitch modulation comes from two sources"

DACS FwS FREQue II

via this auction. via philip

"Produce pumping tracks that stand out from the crowd with the FwS FREQue II, a genuinely new and inspirational analogue effects processor. In a world filled with plug-ins that do everything, the FREQue II is a processor that few, if any, plug-ins can emulate. The FREQue II is truly a sound designer’s dream. It’ll chew up program material like nothing else out there!

The Effects:
With low frequency modulation inputs:
Simple to complex autopan effects, gating, amplitude modulation, flanging, spatialising

With mid frequency modulation inputs:
Vocoding type effects, adding tunable harmonics, both lower down to subsonic, and up to supersonic, second harmonic distortion (like valves/tubes), harmonising, retuning percussion, gating, general rich distortion, Sci-Fi voices (eg a Dalek)

With high frequency modulation inputs:
Transposition with distortion, adding glitter, air, sparkle etc when mixed back into original

With music or sounds into both inputs:
Vocoding effects, gating effects, fattening/thickening effects, spatial effects, weird transformations

Internal FM:
Frequency Modulation of modulation oscillator at all frequencies, giving effects ranging from slow pulsation to the classic FM generation of complex waveforms

External voltage control of oscillators:
Envelope follower effects, FM effects as above, randomised autopanning

Frequency shift:
Up and down shift of frequency with change in harmonic structure, with FM for sliding effects, using feedback loop to create filter type sweeps

Paul White from Sound on Sound said:
'I’ve used numerous ring modulators over the years, but none have felt either as musical or as natural to use as this one.'"

Livewire Dual Cyclotron Demo

video upload by jamescigler

via felix inferious. "A demo and description of the Livewire Dual Cyclotron synth module. [Correction] During the video I mention that we're listing to the sine wave output of the Dalek Modulator...it was actually the square wave. :p"

Mixed Modular Demo

Saw this one over on the HC forum. I asked J3RK if I could post it and he gave me the clear. For more check out this HC thread as well.

"SPLAT

Everything is timed to a single square wave LFO (with lots of splitters coming out of it)

One sine wave output from an uncalibrated Model 15. (calibrating tomorrow) Pitch is modulated by an envelope to make a kick drum. This is routed through one channel of the Quad VCA module.

The other model 15 has a saw wave going to a Miniwave using a fairly crunchy digital waveform, and then into the Boogie Filter. This is routed through the second channel of the Quad VCA.

I have a sine wave coming out of my Filthy Filtre (at self oscillation) going into one of the CV controls of the Dalek Modulator. This is going to the third channel.

The VCS module is slewing the signal of the wheeeppeeeepp sound, and opening and closing the third VCA channel. I've got everything routed to everything else for FM control (VCOs, Filters, etc.)

Basically the thing is playing itself, and I twist a few knobs here and there...

Anyway, the point of the post is just that I find it interesting how much you can do without sequecers or keys, or just when you take things away from yourself and say "create with this..."

Edit: Forgot, the reverb and delay are from my TC M-One-XL. No other effects were used."

I put it up on Twango so I could embed it here. It's also available directly via J3RK and backed up here.
