"The 5th chapter of my Strymon Volante with mostly synth series and the second featuring the wonderful Vermona PERfourMER mkii.

The PERfourMER is a four part/oscillators analog synth that is flexible and creative and I have deep love for it. I have had several ideas for patches but to be honest between the PERfourMER and the Volante it is easy to get lost in creativity and I could have easily kept on for days. Maybe ill have a PERfourMER part 3 at some point.

I have used a number of sequencers and MIDI devices on these patches. I again used the Arturia Microfreak for MIDI on a couple of them.
I also used the internal sequencer of the PERfourMER. I always thought of them as Vermona standards that need to be reinterpreted in different ways.
I also used the six4pix noodlebox again for CV control and some glitchy MIDI on the Pebbles & Drones. My noodlebox is an early prototype and the MIDI implementation is not complete on it but that created some interesting semy randomness that was fun.
I also used another six4pix device, the Le Strum. A MIDI guitar style strummer, that helps me to overcome my deep desire to play an electric guitar. Would love to know what you think? I love playing it with the Vermona as the 4 voices act like 4 strings. In the opening patch, the Le Strum is competing with the PERfourMER sequence for the voices creating an interesting and less predictable effect.

I am also using a couple of cheap pedals. Including a £12 including delivery one from China that I am totally into as it is super sensitive and can turn its noise input into drones (Like in the Pebbles & Drones patch). Don't know much about it and maybe my one is faulty but I like it.

I would love to know what patches work for you? and if you have a Strymon Vermona and use it with synthesizers or other interesting gear would like to know how you are getting on with it

Chroma Polaris various patches

Published on May 5, 2020 MIDERA

"Just some random patches on my Polaris - I just uploaded all of it, even when I accidentally reloaded patches I used before. I'm just lazy - sorry about that.

And please forgive the poor rendition of that one Bladerunner track - I just think that this one patch just sounds good with it.

And yes, I used Eventide Blackhole. I had considered also putting up a 'dry' version - but decided not to.

Their passion hasn’t been born by completism: every new item inspires a world of possibilities. The one item that always eluded them was the EMS Synthi 100—a huge and rare analogue synthesizer, of which there were only 31 ever produced, that can create a near infinite array of sounds."

Using an Intel Compute Stick as an effects pedal (ambient drone w/ Valhalla Shimmer and DAFM DIY)

Published on May 5, 2020 Floyd Steinberg

"Here's an ambient drone created with a guitar, the "DAFM" DIY synth and an Intel Compute stick running on batteries. The stick is running a VST host software with Valhalla Shimmer, TAL Chorus, TAL Filter. I plugged the guitar and synth directly into the line in of the $8 USB audio interface."
