flatchouse - a 120BPM acid house patch for eurorack synthesizer.

Published on Aug 18, 2017 Luke Killen

"This is a flatulent acid house beat. The acid is utilising a WMD/SSF Spectrum which is being modulated in a few ways by the SSF Ultra-Random Analogue filtered through a Epoch Modular Twin peaks VCF. Sequenced by Rene. I really wanted to give the Acid line a Dry breathy sound rather than a classic wet acid style. The noise from the Ultra Random Analogue helps give that character. The twin beaks also has some of the Ultra-Random Analogue output from Channel A at a high rate to mix with the Spectrum."
