Late Night Ambient | Eurorack Performance #39 (MOMENTS)

video upload by David Falcon

"Sometimes music has this magic healing power. While making this one I was reflecting a lot on the small beautiful moments of life we often overlook while we are busy with other stuff. I felt more grounded and inspired me to be more present, more aware. Right here, right now.

Patch notes:
I have tweaked a little bit my Palette case again. Zadar was not right for this build so I swapped it for Pamela's New Workout from my bigger case. As the FX was being used as a filter I then decided to bring back the Shakmat Dual Dagger to this case. I love this build so far.

This is my first time with Ornaments and Crime module. It always looked a bit intimidating with all the various modes, but for now I focused only in one (Acid Curds) which is the perfect pair for Saich. It sends 4 note chords to the 4 V/oct inputs of Saich creating these beautiful chords. To add more interest I have Saich in arp mode, modulated with an LFO from PAMS at a different subdivision than the chord sequence. This way pseudo-generative melodies are created. I was improvising changing the subdivision of the arp within Pams.

Then there are Mimeophon and Arbhar providing ambience to the track. Mimeophon is the delay and reverb for the Saich part and in the outro I looped a bit and improvised within the module. It is very performative, it is my favorite part of this module.
In Arbhar is just a simple sample of my kids playing with some instruments and there is a triangle hit in the middle that sometimes pops out in the mix. This element, despite being subtle, is what brings the emotional depth to this piece in my opinion."

Pam's Plus Ornament and Crime are Melodic Gold

video upload by Metamyther

"In this video, we dive deep into two of the most powerful and versatile Eurorack modules for any modular synth setup: Pam's New Workout and Ornament & Crime. Whether you're building generative patches, syncing complex rhythms, or creating experimental textures for industrial techno or ambient electronica, these modules are essential tools for advanced modulation, quantization, and control. Recently I used both modules to create melodic variation for a given pitch sequence as a way to explore a new creative workflow."

Eurorack Ambient: Serenade in Bloom

video upload by lucafrancinimusic

"Keystep sequences Rings, while the six buffers of Arbhar are scanned by a slow LFO sent by Ornament & Crime. Both Arbhar and Rings go into Nautilus and then in Cubase where I've added Valhalla Supermassive reverb.

I've filled Arbhar with 6 sounds all in the same pentatonic scale, so it creates a grainy background pad for the main melody."

Strung Along - Jam #50 - Ambient Plaits into Monsoon [Modular]

video upload by Beast of Burden Music

"Fiftieth Jam! I'll celebrate by treating myself to a synth jam.

For this, I wanted to use the string sound in plaits with a random sequence to simulate some varying fingerpicking sounds. In the end the strings sounded more metallic and percussive, almost like a hammered dulcimer.

I programmed one random trigger in temps utile and kept this as the steady picking rhythm. I then programmed a second trigger which is much faster. I then ran both into a sequential switch and had a third random trigger flick between the two. I play around with the multiplication of the second sequence to bring the rapid notes in and out. With more modulation sources, I’d have looked to modulate this element but I like having something to play around with.

Turing machine quantised by O&C to a Japanese scale for pitch.

Shallow LFO modulating the harmonics to bring in the more classic string synth sounds.

To round things out I used Monsoon as a delay and added quite a bit of reverb for ambience."

SubSequence | Using the Moog Subharmonicon as a sequencer.

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"One of the best features of the Moog Subharmonicon is its sequencer, providing only 2x4 notes, but with four clock dividers supporting polyrhythmic patterns that don't have obvious repeats. I think it's the most important feature that made me get one, but after playing with it for a while I really start to appreciate the sound too. it's a module that delivers instant fast food at first patch, and haute cuisine when you spend some time with it.
In the first part of the video I get lost while setting things up, so this can happen to you too! I'll try to route the sequencer CV to a quantizer (Ornament & Crime) to check if I can 'escape' the 2x4 notes and built in scales (it works!). And finally I'll hook up the MakeNoise 'Shared Museum' and drive it with the Subharmonicon's resources"

SPRAYCANS [ MODULAR BOOMBAP ]

video upload by leonardoworx

"This is another tune from my album 'Uncommon' live recorded with my modular system.
The mood is really lofi Hip Hop.

Quick patchnotes:

As i did in previous jams with this system, i played a lot with the MODBAP Per4mer, MI Beads via the Intellijel Planar2 and Tetrapad.
The Five12 Vector is always the brain that sequences the Castor&Pollux, BitBox Micro and Squarp Rample. While various random modulations are provided by the Pam's and Ornament & Crime."

Electric Dompteur – Model hED
Time and Triggers – Model hTT
Classic Oscillator – Model hCO

The Voltage Circus consists of two rows of 3 voltage inputs and outputs that can be chained together.

Voltages can be added , subtracted or an offset can be applied per channel.

The inputs and outputs are buffered and can be connected with shorting bars.

A switch limits each rom to provide 100% or 33% to the mixer channel to make subtraction possible or prevent clipping.

One use of the hVC is for example transposing of sequences, adding subtle animation to pitch signals or mix wild CVs to provide complex noise sources

Moog Mother-32 Internal Sequencer + Ornament & Crime Sequencer

video upload by lucafrancinimusic

"This is a sort of lazy tutorial with notes for using Moog Mother-32 internal sequencer with an external sequence, while butchering Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells.
The second voice here is Mutable Instruments Rings, sequenced by Ornament & Crime."

This Is 52 //Subharmonicon/Mother 32/STO/Plaits/Rings/Mosaic/Mimeophon/Magneto/Stages/Chance/Maths//

video upload by Aleatoric Machine

"Eurorack modular synthesizer performance.
Variations on 3 different 4 note sequences.
Moog Subharmonicon generates the 2 primary rhythmic sequences, running through Strymon Magneto. Sub 1 of the first sequence runs through its own output, then through 2hp MMF and Make Noise Optomix for the rhythmic bass line.
Moog Mother 32 generates the descending drone sequence, which is doubled by Make Noise STO tuned up an octave, both run through Chase Bliss Mood, tuned up a fifth.
Mutable Instruments Rings follows the pitch of the descending sequence, with a bouncing ball rhythmic pattern generated by Make Noise Maths and Function, then run through Make Noise Mimeophon. The drifting harmonic tone on top (unison, +5, +12) is the result of modulating the structure of the Rings sound.
Mutable Instruments Plaits chimes the fifth at the beginning of every 8 bars, as well as being trigger by the end of rise on the Function.
Drums are coming from Mosaic Bass, Snare & Hi-Hat modules, sequenced by Intellijel Steppy 1U. Decay on Hi-Hat is a 7 step pattern generated by Mutable Instruments Stages.
The volume and filter cutoff for the drums and rhythmic bass are controlled by Make Noise Pressure Points, with decay slew controlled by a second Make Noise Maths.
Lots of modulation across different parameters is generated by Ornament & Crime and Qu-Bit Chance.
I think that's it."

Ornament & Crime | Episode 03 | Meta-Q + Microtonal Scales

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"You probably know what a pitch quantizer is. If not, there's a short explanation. A pitch quantizer use any CV source and turn it into musical notes. They usually stick to semitones or maybe even scales, but Ornament & Crime also offers a wide range of microtonal scales from all over the world. Microtonal scales have notes that can 'sit between' our western twelve tone system so they may sound out of key. But that's also what makes a melody sound exotic and magical."

Ornament & Crime (O_C) | Episode 01 | CopierMaschine

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Here's episode 01 of my new O_C/Hemisphere series. I suspect there will be a lot of episodes coming because this thing is deep. Please note I'll use this series myself to learn how to use it so I'll probably make stupid errors along the way - like spelling 'aeolian' wrong. In this episode I'll start with the CopierMaschine, a quantized sample & hold shift register using four shifted outputs. I hope you'll find it useful and inspiring."
