Didgeridoo

Didgeridoo from bar|none on Vimeo.

"My first Kyma X patch for the Pacarana. Kyma is unreal and let's you do almost anything in Sound Design. I took a concept of a didgeridoo patch on my modular and built it back in Kyma but with even more expression. This is still a work in progress.

The touchplate is a Snyderphonics MANTA. I spent some time coding some algorithms in MAX to enhance the performance control of the patch using velocity, aftertouch and polyphonic aftertouch + controls using OSC to Kyma.

The Manta is a fantastically wonderful controller. It shows it's flexibility and feel here.

The patch is microtonal meaning pitches are in divisions of the western concept of half and whole tones."

Nord Modular G2 "modulations"

Nord Modular G2 "modulations" from Gattobus on Vimeo.

"In this patch I used 4 resonating filters as main oscillators. Each filter is modulated by 3 LFOs (so 12 LFOs in total).
The first LFO is modulating the amplitude, the second the filter cutoff frequency, and the third is modulating the first LFO.
All the LFOs are in sync with the main clock."
