Keystep Pro Modular Jam 1 - Percall, Dust of Time, Majella MCVC and Tendrils

Synth Diy Guy

"My first jam with some of the latest arrivals for review. Everything will be or has been reviewed more thoroughly, this is just a jam :)

Keystep Pro handles controlling and sequencing, sending MIDI to Majella MCVC to generate a 4 voice polyphonic patch (OC as 4 envelopes, Majella VVCA x 2 as velocity VCAs, Befaco Even VCO x 2 and Teezer VCO x 2)
Drum channel triggers Befaco Kickall and Percall making 4 voices with Joranalogue Generate 3 with heavy FM for a snare type sound, white noise hi hat, etc.. sample and holds varying the decay lengths.
Dust of Time number 1 is a bass in basic oscillator mode, suing it's built in envelopes, VCA, folder and stereo detune. DOT #2 is the high pitch percussive melodic voice."

Published on Jun 2, 2020 Synth Diy Guy

"I create a custom controller with the Sensel Morph Innovator Overlay, and interface it to my Quarantine Modular using FH2 Factotum. Then I perform some cinematic soundscapes with this cool instrument!
Featuring Dust of Time, Piston Honda mk3, Kermit Mk3, Monsoon and Tendrils Cables."

Update:

Poly orgone, just 1 patch

Published on Sep 21, 2018 neutron7

"A bit of fun, This is only one patch of the poly orgone,, using mix controls to hear different oscillators. There are tr8-s drums and a tiny bit of RE-303 added as well as uDervish on the poly orgone output. sorry for the noise, and being mono, its recorded on ipad."

Orgone Accumulator with Xpander

"Orgone Accumulator in drum mode.
Direct output without added effect.

I was testing the Xpander and started to jam. As usual!"

Neutron sound poly synth playing braids WMAP (teensy 3.6!)

Published on Dec 22, 2017 neutron7

"This is the 2 main oscillators playing 'WMAP' with original braids waveforms. both at diferrent XY slightly detuned.

both main oscillators have different modulation, the most pronounced modulation you hear is by the LFO, which i adjust a bit. also adjusted, LFO speed and phase, X and Y of the 2 oscillators, release time.

there are no effects, recorded with irig to an ipad.

I guess you could call this a 'west coast' poly synth.

Currently running on teensy 3.6, 'sample at a time' DSP, not PJRC audio library."

Neutron sound poly synth sine folded sines.

Published on Dec 13, 2017 neutron7

"This is an oscillator model that is simply a sine wave through a variable sine folder. The 2 oscillators are slightly detuned. The effects section is off 'thru' mode."

New DIY Polysynth Coming from Neutron Sound

Neutron sound poly synth swarmageddon Published on Dec 1, 2017 neutron7

"Here is the swarm oscillator (and a few other things) for the upcoming DIY poly synth. this is currently running on ONLY a teensy 3.6.(at 240mhz) with both main oscillators running swarm and all 6 voices playing, thats 96 oscillators. look mum no synth! The main oscillators are 'braids like' with multiple models and 2 modulator inputs. models are a mix of new, from braids, and from orgone accumulator."

Orgone Accumulator + Reflex Liveloop + Chaos Computer + Pithoprakta = Glitch

Published on Jul 8, 2017 isvisible / isinvisible

"Working out a new track.
This one features the Neutron Sound 'Orgone Accumulator', the WMD 'PDO' and the Folktek 'Matter' as the sound sources.
The audio from the Orgone Accumulator is split into two, one is going direct to my mixer, the other is being routed through the Reflex Liveloop in granular (G Move) mode.

The Iron Ether 'Pithoprakta' and the Livewire 'Chaos Computer' both play big parts in this patch."

Modular Synth - Patch in Progress 47

"Mutable Instruments sound sources (Braids, Elements, Anushri and Rings), plus the Cylonix 'Cyclebox' and Neutron Sound 'Orgone Accumulator'."

Neutron Sound ROTORHEAD with phase synced to clock

Published on Feb 11, 2017 neutron7

"The upcoming neutron sound rotorhead using 4 inputs to 1 output. audio sources are orgone accumulator in drum mode, hexinverter mutant clap, microbraids in pluck mode, and x0x heart. all sequenced with cirklon. This demonstrates how you can get varying rhythmic sounds as the oscillator is running at a different speed to the clock input, but only updates its position on each clock. Also you can see how the virtual attenuverter works."

Modular Synth - Patch in Progress 40

Published on Oct 24, 2016 isvisible / isinvisible

"Working on another new track.
The main voice is both outputs of the Neutron Sound 'Orgone Accumulator', additional noises and things from the WMD 'Synchrodyne' and 'Expand', plus the Modcan 'Quad LFO' in audio rate.
