Star Trek Voyager Theme - Juno 60 and Modular Synth

Published on Sep 1, 2016 Autotross

"One of my all time favorite themes played on a Roland Juno 60 and 5U/MU Dotcom modular synthesizer.

The 3 rows of the Q960 sequencer are used for the accompaniment, which I recorded into my looper for easy start/stop with the footswitch."

We Three Kings - A Make Noise Modular Synth Christmas

"Quite a bit of spaghetti in this one! The 0-Coast and 0-CTRL take care of the melody, while the bassline is played using the Intellijel Planar2 joystick. The gate button on the Planar triggers a switch that replaces the arpeggiated bass with an envelope and CV tied to the melody, which is used during the chorus. And the actual bass sound comes from my 5U modular. The Morphagene and Mimeophon fill out the rest."

Sub-harmonicon / DFAM Style Jam but its a Big Modular Synth

Published on Jun 20, 2018 Autotross

"I've been drooling over the Moog DFAM and Sub-harmonicon, so I thought I'd try to imitate some of their functionality.

The bass parts are created using a standard sawtooth wave, which is fed into the gate input of both sides of the Corsynth Dual Loopable Envelope, thereby creating a new waveform based off the pitch of the original oscillator. Then by adjusting the decay time of each envelope via 2 rows of the Q960 sequencer, I can move through the subharmonics of the frequency. The 3rd row controls the base pitch - and in turn the subharmonics.

The percussion is created using noise and ring mod from the Corsynth Odyssey of Sound VCO fed through the Synthcube SEM filter and triggered with the Club of the Knobs C961S and 4MS Shuffling Clock Multiplier / Rotating Clock Divider.

And the kick is from Braids."

"The year was 2021. I'd just acquired the Make Noise 0-Coast the day before at Knobcon, and this was my first chance to get to know it. Alone, under the covers with just a few patch cables and my handy Zoom recorder, I droned.

Reverb and B-roll added later.
