Abandoned Prairie Town

"A Vector Sequencer project running the large format modular.
The slow pace was the experiment basis and the Vector Sequencer really handles that perfectly. I also added the Jack Expander module to the Vector so I had four sequence lines this time to send to the modular.
The drone bass is a Mos-Lab clone of the Moog 901. No need for a sequencer there as it is a single pitch.
The opening sound is the pair of Matrix modules. This sound effect is heard again at the closing passage.
The opening slow pad note sequence is the STG vco's and G294A filter through a Strymon Blue Sky pedal.
The swell pattern is two Q206's to the Q150 filter. The stereo signal is routed through a Lexicon MX200 for pitch shift and chorus.
The distant ghostly piano sounding sequence is two lines from the Vector to a pair of TZ vco's and the Yusynth Arp 4072 filter. The final effect chain is the Stasis Leak delay module and the Z-DSP signal processor.
The flutter sounding noise is the Dove WTF to a Tau Pipe phaser and an Oakly SVF in high pass mode.
The wind effects were the West Coast Noise Source to the MOTM 440 filter and the Q110 noise module to the Dove D502 filter in band pass mode."

"The sound of the 2500 takes me into musical territory I've never explored before, plus the fact that I've rewired the whole studio with MIDI.
I took out the Juno 60 that was asleep for too long to add an arpeggio line on top of the 2500, but it did let me down after 10 minutes. I'll have to repair it :(
I replaced it with the Sixtrak, but I'll need more time to set the sound as I like. I might use the Matrix 1000 though. I'll see... Clocking the Juno arpeggio did a super sound that I was not able to get in this session on other synths. I'll have to spend more time and we'll see where it leads me.
Watching the video I realize I should use the Minimoog instead of the Sixtrak."

"Watching the video I'm noticing a small issue with the clock sent to the 2500 from Keystep Pro. I don't know why, but from time to time the clock is acting weird. I'll have to investigate, maybe had a small cap at the clock output. I'll see."

"Une séquence très simple pour tester un quantizer que je pense adopter.
Je n'ai eu que des problèmes techniques depuis que j'ai acheté des modules et un rack Series 500. Ça a commencé avec le boitier 500 qui ne passait même pas dans le rack et ça a continué module après module (même avec du neuf qui ne fonctionnait pas et que j'ai du échanger), jusqu'au ground loop hier sur les entrée DI qui empêche tout ! Bref j'aurais mieux fait de m'en tenir à mon setup habituel, plutôt que de me lancer dans le API 500. Alors afin de me calmer, je me suis mis sur le 2500 et j'en ai profité pour essayer un quantizer (le Shakmat Bard Quartet) avec une séquence toute simple. J'ai commencé la session avec un tempo bien rapide ( • 02.07.2025 Mos-Lab & Scrotum Lab - Th... ) et puis la séquence et le tempo se sont adoucis jusqu'à cette fin de session qui aurait pu encore continuer, continuer, continuer..."

Googlish:

"A very simple sequence to test a quantizer that I think I will adopt.
I have had nothing but technical problems since I bought modules and a Series 500 rack. It started with the 500 box that did not even fit in the rack and it continued module after module (even with new ones that did not work and that I had to exchange), until the ground loop yesterday on the DI inputs that prevented everything! In short, I would have done better to stick to my usual setup, rather than launching into the API 500. So in order to calm down, I switched to the 2500 and took the opportunity to try a quantizer (the Shakmat Bard Quartet) with a very simple sequence. I started the session with a very fast tempo ( • 02.07.2025 Mos-Lab & Scrotum Lab - Th... ) and then the sequence and the tempo softened until this end of the session which could have continued, continued, continued..."

video upload by batchas

"I rearranged the studio and am testing different things with diverse machines around the 2500 and a simple sequence. There's IMO a promising potential, but it would require way more time to invest, than the one hour I spend on a session to make a serious track. I usually concentrate on one modular system, cause it's more direct, plug'n'play fun, perfect for short 30 minutes sessions in the studio. But I've been thinking for a long time about having again the drum machines in the game, also some rack synths I like. Means connecting again MIDI and so on. I hesitated a lot, cause the last thing I want to do is spend time on programming! But I have to admit that I'm easely bored with the repetitive 16 steps sequences on the modulars (or 32 or 64). Time will tell if it was a good idea to take out the Buchla system to make space for the beat machines & effects corner.

The first synth we hear (4 bass notes repeating) is a Oberheim Matrix 1000. Then comes the Ace Tone FR-2 drum machine. Then the 2500. And after the Waldorf Q (fast sequence, staccato)."

"I made different patches in the same sessions, also checking how the 2500 filter does sound with diverse waveforms.
In retrospect I think a simple beat on top wouldn't have spoiled anything, at the contrary."

"I recorded on 2 tracks in the DAW. Track 1 is the output of filter 2 and track 2 is output of filter 1 (hihat sound made with noise).
I don't have a multiplier in the 2500. So to multiply the clock of the hihat I simply copied the hihat track in the DAW afterwards and shifted it a bit to make it a double of the main clock.
I send the output of the sequencer to a quantizer before going back into the matrix to control the CV of the 3 oscillators."
