Disk Is Full Sparkly Drone Sequence

"This is a sequence patch for a track I made call Disk Is Full, Is Not Full. This is the raw 'performance' for one element. I then searched for the best bits of this performance and chopped them into clips within Abelton Live. You can hear the finished product at:

This patch was my first use of the Intellijel Linix/Mutamix combo. I had a Makenoise Rene setup with a few different sequences driving a Rubicon, DPO, Modcan Triple and Dual Wave, and a Cyclebox. The MMG, Korgasmatron II, and Dr. Octature were filtering some of those.

Clock from Expert Sleepers ES3. An Intellijel Plog was sending some randomized clock to through the Y-axis off on the Rene. That same randomized, yet quantized, clock was driving the Mutamix; which was the heart of this monster.

All of the sound sources fed into 5 inputs on the Linix. Some of the Linix CV's being modulated by the 4MS PEG. On the Mutamix, I created a few Mute 'states', or combinations of the different sound sources, then the Plog was clocking it to shift through those combinations at random, but still on the beat.

Lastly, it all went through the Modcan Dual Delay, which was creating a lot of that resonate, distorted feedback. Into the Azimuth II, then straight to the Expert Sleepers ES6 back into Live.

Video doesn't show much detail, but I give you pretty lights instead, especially the last few seconds."

Cwejman DP-2 and Res-4 Demo

Cwejman DP-2 and Res-4 Demo from DUDADIUS on Vimeo.

"Learning the DP-2 compressor . Rene is driving the melody with Intellijel uScale doing interval variations."

"First go around with the Intelljel Metropolis. This is a pretty basic setup; I didn't get into using the aux inputs to modulate things within the Metropolis. I'll try that next! As you can see though, the Metropolis really lends itself to performing and improvising. Very hands-on and easy to go all sorts of crazy ways, melodically. Similar to the Rene, in that regard, but from a totally different point-of-view.

Patch notes. Pamela is sending clock to Metropolis, Trigger Riot, Modcan Dual Delay, and Sound of Shadows.

Metropolis is sending the same note info to three different oscillators. The third one going through a uScale first to create intervals. All going into the Dubmix. The Trigger Riot is controlling Tiptop drums, mixed through a VCA Matrix then an M277 for a little grit. That's into channel 2 on the Dubmix, where I add a little Spring Reverb at one point.
The kik and snare are ultimately doubled with the Cwejman BLD and DPO. Lastly, I dialed into some sustained notes on the Pressure Points and a Modcan Triple OSC. The uStep is advancing the Pressure Points.

I had some troubles with the Trigger Riot losing sync when I would change presets. I'll have to delve into that some more."

Note the RYK M-185 was a DIY sequencer from RYK, not Roland. See the RYK channel below for more.

Regarding the Intelijel Metropolis, the following is some info via PatchPierre.Net, via Pierre on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"One of the most interesting modules i have seen in a while has been sent out to various testers in the last few weeks. The Intellijel Metropolis is a Eurorack sequencer, based on the RYK M-185 sequencer from the early Roland M-100 series. This module has always intrigued me, and i was always hoping someone would bring this style of sequencing/programming to the Eurorack. Intellijel worked out an agreement with Ryk earlier this year to create this only official Eurorack adaptation of his brilliant sequencer design...

Some of the features :
-Sequencer modes:
Forward, Forward-fixed, Reverse, Reverse-fixed, PingPong, PingPong-Fixed, Random, Random-fixed, Brownian, Brownian-fixed
-TB-303 style slide (constant time portamento) with adjustable time
-Stage skipping (double click slide buttons)
- Internal quantizing with selectable scales and keys
-Can act as a master clk with BPM control or slave to an external (using clk src function)
-Save/load panel settings
-shuffle
-Internal clock divider
-Sync output (sets output pulse on last clock step of a sequence, used to slave other sequencers via reset)
-Two assignable AUX inputs which can control: gate length, transpose, key shift, root shift, sequence length, and step divisor.
-config menu to set slider pitch range, clock div type, clock offset
-tap tempo when in internal clock mode and tempo lock with bpm detect in external mode.

-All menu actions are one level deep. i.e. press the menu button and spin the encoder.
There are no hidden levels or sub menus."

"Still testing and debugging this one. Four of Ken Stone's designs behind one euro panel = one powerful and complicated beast."
