Seeded Melodies, Evolving Drums — Gentle IDM Patch with Ormer Modular SHOAL (VCV Rack)

"A gentle IDM patch built entirely from one sequencer — Shoal by Ormer Modular, an 8-track generative melody sequencer now officially available in the VCV Library. Each track uses a numeric seed for a deterministic, repeatable pattern.

6 tracks feed FM synth voices (Bogaudio FMOp), 2 tracks drive drums (dbRackModules Drums), with Branches adding probability-based triggering. Everything passes through Chronoblob2 delay into a shared Valley Plateau reverb.

One clock. Eight evolving voices. Nothing loops the same way twice.
