Sequencer Therapy Part 2 - October 21 2023

video upload by John L Rice

"Expanding off the patch from the previous video: besides several tweaks I added in the Club Of The Knobs Ratchet Sequencer and a Moon Modular 569 sequencer to control it. I also played along on an ExpressiveE Osmose keyboard and a Roland Integra7. #modularsynth #sequencer #electronicmusic"

Sequencer Therapy - October 17 2023

"I just felt like playing with a sequence for my peace of mind. Not as good as hugging a dog, but better than nothing! 🤓😁 Klee sequencer built by Megaohm Audio is shown. Off screen the usual modules: Synth Tech MOTM-300 VCOs, MOTM-380 LFO, Moon 517 VCF, Oakley/Krisp1 VCAs, STG Envelopes, Modcan 55B quantizer and 73B delay, Club Of The Knobs C969 clock, Strymon and Lexicon reverb. #modularsynth #sequencer #electronicmusic"

The Room Outside Of Time 2

video upload by John L Rice

"A quick one I should have spent more time on, and also should NOT have spent ANY time on, but I wanted to record a bit of it for the memories! 😅

Unlike a lot of my recent complex sequencer experiments this one only uses 5 steps of a single row of one Moon 569 sequencer! The CV out is patched into a Synth Tech E102 Quad Temporal Shifter (shift register) and the 4 outputs go to 4 voices, each consisting of a MOTM-300 VCO, saw out to a Happy Nerding FM AID, to a Moon 517 VCF and finally to a Oakley Dual VCA. VCF and VCA modulation was from a Club Of The Knobs C911P poly EG and the FM AIDs and VCFs got additional modulation from a Krisp1 OCTO LFO. Effects are from the usual Strymon BigSky and Timeline pedals and Lexicon MX400 rack. I used the Roland A-88 keyboard to transpose the sequence via a MOTM-650 module and the bassy-lead was played on an Expressive E Osmose keyboard."

Test after moving the Noise Engineering BIM VCO into this folding modular case. I like it!

"The gate out of the SSL The Matrix sequencer is patched to the SSL/YuSynth clock divider with one output going to the Basimilus Iteritas Magnus and the other two outputs triggering State FX Dual Trigger Processor (5U Mutable Instruments Peaks) envelopes that are modulating the audio out of The Matrix via a Happy Nerding Fun VCF and Grove Audio quad VCA. (the audio out of the Matrix also goes to the quad VCA and its level is just manually controlled) All four outputs of the Martin Jan Koehler Tidal Modulator (5U Mutable Instruments Tides) go to a Moon Modular 525 quandary attenuator and then to various inputs of the Noise Engineering BIM to vary the sound. #modularsynth #sequencer #electronicmusic"

The Room Outside Of Time

video upload by John L Rice

"Similar to several of the recent sequencer demos I've posted, but different.

The 569 sequencer is again in 2x16 mode and using the same tuning as the last few videos. The difference this time is I patched two gate outputs from the 569EGB rows 1 and 2 into the two 564 sequential switches and then patched all 8 outputs, 4 each, from the 564 switches into rows 1 and 2 of the 569ES. The 564 switches are shifted by the 554 Octal Clock divider, which is normal'd to the Corsynth C102 LFO which is the master clock and also is shifting the 569.

The sequenced voice is a single Martin Jan Koehler VCO, the Tidal Modulator, which is a 5U version of Mutable Instruments Tides module. All four outputs get voiced separately but at the same time with 1/2 of a Moon 517 VCF, 1/2 of an Oakely Dual VCA, and 1/5 of a Club Of The Knobs C911P poly EG. Each voice goes to a separate input of the Allen & Heath MixWizard and panned evenly across the stereo field. A Krisp1 OCTO LFO modulates 4 of the Tidal Modulator's parameters.

The solo voice is a Roland Integra7 played via a Roland A-88 keyboard.

Effects used are the usual Strymon BigSky and Timeline pedals and the Lexicon MX400."

Evolution Of A Sequencer Patch (part 3 or 4?)

Additional posts

"More tweaks of the same patch. I changed the main sequence voice’s envelope curve, added in a the second M564 sequential switch to juggle the clock divider outputs going to your 569ES, added the M552 to control a MIDI synth from the sequencer (a Roland Integra7 playing a vibraphone sound), the 569 sequencer is now transposing itself using the third row, and added another synth bass voice controlled by the third row. #sequencer #modularsynth #electronicmusic"

Moar Sequencer Pattern Playtime (sorry, no noodles)

video upload by John L Rice

"Pretty much the same patch as the previous sequencer video [posted here] with the addition of the 554 clock divider and 564 switch pumping more gates into the 569ES to jump the position of the sequence. I also added in the Oakley Flanger modulated by the Marienberg Since Phase VCO."

Moon 569 Sequence With A Side Of Mellotron Noodles

video upload by John L Rice

"Sequence setup is the Moon 569 + 569EGB + 569ES with rows 2,3,4 affecting the position of row 1.

The synth voice is a MOTM-300 VCO, MOTM-380 LFO, Moon 517 VCF, Oakley Dual VCA, and STG EG.

The Mellotron is a M4000D Rack played from a Roland A-88 keyboard.

Effects were from Strymon Timeline and BigSky pedals plus a Lexicon MX400.

Dual Moon 569 sequencers (post calibration test)

video upload by John L Rice

"Both 569 sequencers are calibrated again! 🥳 Not 'absolutely perfect' but good enough to reasonably make music with. In this demo all four rows on both sequencers are tuned to the same notes (C1, G2, C3, G3, C4, G4, C5, C6) and the 569’s are set to 2x16 mode and patched to a 564 sequential switch to alternate between the outputs of both.

Abusing The Matrix ;-)

video upload by John L Rice

"Quick extreme external clocking test of the SSL The Matrix module. The M524 quad VC LFO from @moonmodularhq provides The Matrix clock on channel 1 and then the other 3 channels are mixed by a M526 and sent to the channel 1 CV input. Always fun to see The Matrix lights reverse themselves! 😜 If you buy this module abuse it at your own risk! 🥺😅🧐 #modularsynth #electronicmusic #sequencer"

DIGing The Matrix

video upload by John L Rice

"I was doing a test of SSL’s The Matrix module and was liking the simple sequence and the look of the evening sunlight on the modular. Both The Matrix (voiced by the SSL 1235 Envelope / VCA Combo) and the Strymon DIG delay pedal (off camera) are being clocked by a Moon 569 sequencer with The Matrix getting a half speed and uneven number of clocks. #modularsynth #electronicmusic #sequencer"

Moon Modular 569 ratchet sequence synced to midi

"It might have seemed obvious to some but I finally was able to figure out how to sync to midi a ratchet type sequence with the 569 Moon Modular."

Rough Sequencing Tutorial: Love On A Real Train by Tangerine Dream

video upload by John L Rice

"A friend was asking for advice on sequencing this pattern and this was the easiest/quickest method I came up with. While not perfect it may serve as at least a starting point for anyone who wants to try it themselves?

The basic notes are F, Eb, F, C, F, Bb, C and by turning off certain gates the basic rhythm is created. (Be sure to tune the 'off' steps to the previous note so they are 'tied' together) I used a Moon Modular 569 sequencer but any 16 step sequencer could work.

Additional rhythmic motion is created by adding audio delays. I used a couple Strymon Engineering pedals (Timeline and BigSky)"
