Brassy Drone with Dotcom Modular System

"The patch is pretty basic. I'm running the pitch output of the Dotcom Midi Interface module into three oscillators. Then I'm running the oscillators through a mixer into the Dotcom Transistor Ladder Filter for a nice, brassy, Moogy sound. The filter output is running into a VCA, and the VCA is going into my audio interface. The gate output from the Midi Interface is going into two EGs, one for the VCA and one for filter. The settings on the two EGs are pretty similar. Basically, I want a nice long attack and a long release.

I'm running the sine wave LFO from the Dotcom SH++ module into the filter for cutoff modulation. I'm also running the trapezoid LFO output from the slew feature on the SH++ through an attenuator into the linear frequency input on one of the oscillators, for vibrato.

Software effects: stereo widening, delay, compression, reverb."

"Patch Notes

Once oscillator is being fed into the state variable filter. That filter is being modulated my another oscillator in LFO mode, using a sine wave. Resonance is at something like nine o'clock.

A second oscillator is being fed into the transistor ladder filter, one octave up from the first. This filter is being modified by an enevelop generator, which is being triggered by the divide-by-two gate output on the Sample and Hold ++ module.

As you'll see, I also play around with the trapezoid LFO on the SH++, and I feed the sine wave output of the SH++ into a couple different inputs, from ladder filter cutoff modulation to the linear frequency inputs on both oscillators.

Stereo widening, rotation, compression, and reverb are being applied in my DAW to both voices.

"The patch is as follows:

I'm running the sample and hold output of the SH++ module into the module's slew limiter feature. From there, the sample and hold is multiplied and run into the volt per octave inputs of two Q106 oscillators.

One oscillator is going into the state variable filter, and the other is going into the transistor ladder filter.

The transistor ladder is receiving an envelope, which is being triggered by the square output of the LFO on the SH++, and also a mixed waveform (sine and pulse) from the third Q106 in LFO mode. The mixed waveform is going through the Mixer++ module so I can mess around with the amount of each wave to the output.

The state variable filter is also receiving an envelope, but this one is being triggered by the divide by two output on the SH++. Hopefully this creates some nice rhythmic patterns.

A lot of the work is being done off-screen, however. Obviously I've got the usual suspects going on in terms of effects: compression, delay, and reverb. However, so that I don't just get the bleeps of a computer when running a sample and hold to two oscillators, I'm using an auto-tune effect in my DAW to quantize the output to F Minor. I'd rather have a hardware quantizer, but I'm building up my system one piece at a time, so that will have to come later.

I supposed I'd call this "semi-generative" since there's a heavy element of randomness, at least as far as the notes you're hearing are concerned. Obviously, I don't just let the modules play themselves, so I'm unwilling to call this true generative.

Thanks for listening."
