More Distortion!

Published on Jun 1, 2016 HardtekStudios

"I have wanted to do this video for a while now. The Arturia Microbrute is 1st going into the Boss Hyper Fuzz, then the DOD Death Metal distortion, then the Digitech Grunge and finally the Digitech Weapon. In case you are wondering, then is about half of my distortion pedal collection, but if I added more distortion pedals, it would have gotten too messy."

Details via Møffenzeef Mødular:

"The Genetically Mødified Øscillatør (GMØ) is an øpen søurce, lø-fi, digital, esøteric drum mødule.

The user can dial in everything frøm micrøsøund blips, tø drawn øut gøngs, tø screeching mutated beasts. When in løøping møde the GMØ can be viewed as a mutated VCØ, cømbining the best elements øf granular and wavetable synthesis. Its løw resølutiøn øutput means løts øf side-band mødulatiøn, nøise, and møst impørtantly: character. This beast is best understøød in practice rather than in theøry."

Morning Reading and Beer

"Morning reading

Deschutes Mirror Pond (one of my favorite beers), cashews, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and the Sequential Prophet-6 Operation Manual.  Not a bad way to spend a morning.  Why is it I'd likely peruse towards the Prophet-6 manual myself in that situation?  :)  Which would you chose?

"Using Maschine and Doepfer Dark Link to sequence an FM patch.

Patch:

Malekko Richter Oscillator 2 is being FM'd by Pittsburgh Oscillator Sine.
Then Osc 2 Sine and Tri into each of Malekko Borg Dual inputs in low pass gate mode with full gain.
Then out to Malekko VCA
Dual ADSR is opening the filter and VCA at different rates.
Velocity from Dark Link is going the level on Dual ADSR for the filter
Then out to the 4MS Dual Looping Delay.
PBurgh Osc is the clock for the delay, creating audio rate delays."
