Modular Field Trip Ep. 03 - Valley Textures with Telharmonic, Mutable Instruments Rings and Clouds

Published on May 23, 2017 ann annie

"For today's field trip, Wilma took us to the Columbia Gorge for some sunrise atmospheres centered around the Clouds. I decided to fully commit to the modular world and found a beautiful case to fit the bill. Patch Notes below

Follow my Instagram for weird updates and strange happenings! @analoganne

CLOUDS - Processing Rings, modulated by dixie II and West Coast Random

RINGS - Processing Mother 32 in Sympathetic String mode

TELHARMONIC - Receiving pitch from Mother 32's KB output, sending "P" to Mother's ext. in and "H" to Rosie's Return input.

MOTHER 32 - Providing Modulation and Melodic Sequencing. Sequencer tempo is controlled by Temp's CH. 6 in Euclidean mode.

EFFECTS //
Strymon Blue Sky - Reverb

MXR Carbon Copy - Delay"

Modular Field Trip Ep. 2 - River Atmospheres with Zvex Lo-Fi Junky, Temps Utile, Minilogue,

Published on Apr 26, 2017 ann annie

"Today’s patch takes place with a very cold 6am morning field trip to Smith Rock State Park. Patch Secrets Below.
Check out Instagram! @analoganne - it's pretty rad.

The whispers of this Patch:

- Power was graciously provided using a portable Car Jump Starter with a 12v output port. Audio Recorded using a Scarlett 2i2 No DI boxes this time. Natural Audio Captured by Camera Mic.

Pad Sound (Key Hold on the Minilogue):

Korg Minilogue Sequenced with Temps Utile (Ch. B) at 7680BPM (x64) playing a one step sequence. I placed three different chords in three different patch memories right next to each other allowing me to switch between chords while still retaining the key hold.
The Minilogues output is being set to Zvex Lo-Fi Junky, then into the JHS Alpine Reverb.

Other weird noises:
MOOG MOTHER 32 //
Assign (random) attenuated and sent to onboard LFO rate
Triangle LFO — : Rings Structure
VCA —: Rings Input
Clocked by Temps Utile (Ch. C)

INTELLIJEL DIXIE II //
Intellijel Dixie set in LFO mode modulating Temps Ch. C Divide/Mult
Dixie’s Sine wave output sent to modulate ring’s brightness

TEMPS UTILE:
Sending clock to Moog Mother 32 and Korg Minilogue
Sending random voltages to the Mother 32's Reset.

EFFECTS:
Ocean Verb - Mother 32/Rings Shimmer Reverb
Zvex Lo-Fi Junky - Minilogue
JHS Alpine Reverb - Minilogue
MXR Carbon Copy - Mother 32/Ring’s Delay"

Modular Field Trip Ep. 1 - Tidal Ambience with Mutable Instruments Rings, & Moog Mother 32

Published on Apr 3, 2017 ann annie

"Everything you are hearing and seeing was recorded in real time!
Took my station wagon Wilma (Wilma Wagon) out to the beach today for some nice ambient patching. This will be the start of a new series, each episode with a new natural wonder, each with a new patch and each episode featuring Wilma. Enjoy!

This Patch’s Secrets:
***Power was graciously received from Wilma Wagon’s battery and a power inverter. Audio was recorded with a Scarlett 2i2, and some DI boxes.
// Key Pings: Moog Mother 32
LFO Rate is randomly controlled by its own assignable output
Sequencer is randomly reset at random intervals also from its assignable output.

// Drone: Rings
Rings is receiving Mother 32’s KB output for the v/o
Intellijel Dixie II in LFO mode is controlling Ring’s Structure CV using the sine wave output
Ring’s is being strummed by Mother 32’s LFO Square Wave
Brightness is controlled by Mother 32’s VCO Pulse Wave
The triangle wave output from Dixie ii attenuated by Triatt is controlling the Position CV.
Mother 32’s triangle wave is attenuated then sent into Rings frequency CV for a very small amount of vibrato.

// Effects
The Mother 32’s output is being fed into a Boss ME-50 which supplies heavy amounts of reverb and delay. It is also run through the JHS Alpine and then into a second delay, the MXR Carbon Copy.

Rings output is being sent though into Ocean Verb set in Shimmer mode. The mix is 75% Wet output.

Faintly in the background is the natural audio captured by the camera’s mic. This is unaffected."
