Percussive Synthesis using Elektron Analog Keys or Four

Published on Aug 28, 2016 Carl Mikael's Cabinet of Curiosities

"By using envelopes to sharply modulate pitch, volume and harmonics I can synthesize a palette of percussive sounds. I make an introduction to percussive synthesis by using Softube Modular and then move on to the Analog Keys to construct and sequence my sounds.

You should be familiar with the Analog Keys/Four engine to follow this tutorial. Browse up on your knowledge by reading 'Appendix: A - Synth Track Parameters' in the 1.23 Keys/Four manual.

"An ambient aleatoric modular patch.

Noise Engineering Numeric Repetitor sending gate pulses to the Tonnetz Sequent which is sending (modulo) pitch cv to three Q106 vco's. Filtering and EG's are all synthesizers.com and Oakley Audio.

A Flame Chord Machine is also used for pitch duties to three more Q106 vco's and a Mutable Instruments Rings.
There are doubling of the pitch data to a noise patch using a pink noise source and a pair of Q960 sequencer to control a cv FM Radio module to a CGS Real Ring Modulator then through a MOTM 440 LPF into an Encore Frequency Shifter. The FS is cv modulated by a 10v signal from MI Frames. The Down output of the FS is sent directly to Clouds right channel. The Up output of the FS is sent through a Makenoise Echophon in pitch shifting mode. It is 1v/oct controlled from a fourth channel out of the Flame Chord Machine. The feedback output of the Echophon is sent to the left channel input of Clouds the left output of Clouds is returned to the Echophon feedback input and the mix out is back into Frames via a Yusynth Minimoog filter.

Frames is amplitude modulating the Clouds outputs.

Loads of pseudo random voltage and gate timings from two Turing Machines and 4MS QCD. The main clock is from Cubase dinsync to a Pamela's Workout.

Intellijel Plog is used for a Malekko Switch module to shift the vco third and fifth cv's from the Tonnetz, and the input to the Chord Machine. It is also used to toggle the 2nd Tone factor on the Chord Machine.
Two Maths and a Quadra are employed to control timing to the Frames automation.

Other FX include a Z-DSP in Halls of Valhalla, a Behringer Chorus Space pedal and a Strymon Blue Sky pedal. A pair of Lexicon MX200's are used for subtle reverb and delay."
