Sky Squids in the Sky Part 2

Non-Somnambulistic Part 19 - modular synth + Numerology

YouTube via doctorvague
"The very tail end of another long jam. Audio is right off the camera, dog barks at 5:10 and all. I kinda like the raw-ness and rough edges of it. Couldn't get that vibe from the direct mix.

I heart and used the following in this episode: Synthesizers.com mostly + MOTM 650 and 440, + STG Post Lawsuit filter + Modcan VCDO . Volta used for sync into the 4 rows of a Moon Modular trigger sequencer. Numerology was doing other things earlier but by this point it's set on like 31 against 29 or something to mess with yo head. And it may indeed drive you crazy. That's your problem now."

"last bit of a long improv
the arpeggiators of the Korg Monopoly and the Roland Juno 60 are being triggered by the awesome Moon Modular 563 triigger sequencer. Roger Arrick's awesome synthesizer.com rig in here all over the place. And Eric at STG. And Bruce at Modcan."

Parts 1 and 2 (previously posted) in case you want to see these in order.

Why Yes I Do Like Echo Part 2 - Modular synth improv

Foregone Inclusion - analog modular synth improv

"Korg Monopoly (lower right) arpeggiator being clocked by the top row of the Moon Modular trigger sequencer (upper left). Bottom row of the sequencer is setting the Digital Delay time of the Modcan delay (far right white module). The Korg MS-20 (lower left) is being used for the filters in the feedback loop of the Modcan delay. NOTE: rest of patch and cords was leftover from another patch and has nothing to with what you're hearing. What you're hearing is the Monopoly into the Modcan delay with MS-20 in the delay loop - a very simple patch. The Monopoly is an amazing instrument IMHO. I'm just starting to see its potential. Ditto for the Moon trigger sequencer. It's a whole rhythmic instrument that can be played in real time.

This actually should have been called Part 3. It was the very ending of a much longer improv. The complete track is on Virb - doctorvague - Foregone Inclusion.

May I say just a general very hearty thank you for the kind comments and good juju here on youtube. Thanks to people watching - even you lurkers! And also to the grrrrreat folks who build all this cool stuff to play with and the friends at Muffwiggler's - an awesome hangout. Fun toys - good times."

Why Yes I Do Like Echo Part 2 - Modular synth improv

YouTube via doctorvague. follow-up to this post.
"Modcan Sequencer - Modcan VCDO - Suit and tie guy Post Lawsuit filter - Modcan Digital delay with MOTM 440 in the the delay feedback loop + some synthesizers.com stuff. The sound source is just the 1 VCDO. The module I'm switching at the upper right is a DIY switch module with 4 rows of 4 switches. Various rhythmic triggers are coming from Volta (the 4 white cables). The top row of switches controls the sequencer, the second row controls the delay time. Also used is a Synthesizers.com State Variable Filter and 2 Synthesizers.com oscillators being used as 2 slow LFO's, for like, you know, like, modulating stuff.

Controlling Live loops with the APC40 which are going in dry and also being piped into the modular patch too.

This track is DRY as far as processing goes - it's straight from the modular and Live.

Sorry about the crap video
Hopefully the sound is good though, that's the mainest thing.
This year - new camera.

I'll do some annotations on this if you want, otherwise, enjoy."

Holistic Additives - Modular synth + Monopoly + Volta

"Volta, 4 trigger streams to a switcher to a Moon Modular trigger sequencer and on out to a Monopoly arpeggiator etc. It's as fun as it looks. I jammed to a different loop than you're hearing"

To Online friends I'll Never Meet - Numerology + Modular synth

YouTube via doctorvague

"Very simple Numerology stack with lots of randomity supplying 3 voices to 6 Synthesizer.com oscillators, 3 Envelope generators a State variable Filter and MOTM 440 Filter. The title says the inspiration!"

Son of Cyclosity - modular synth + Numerology

YouTube via doctorvague

"Previously improvised Numerology session played back in 3 voices fed to a MOTM 650 MIDI interface to 2 synthesizer dotcom oscillators and a Modcan VCDO into MOTM 440 filter (to the right of the white Modcan - kickass filter) and below that the dotcom State variable filter, 2 dotcom EG's and all that geeky stuff baby! Much use is made of the dotcom oscillators' soft sync in, with musical intervals driving the aforermentioned. This is an overdub for a bigger piece with loops and like, 'real' music."

Cwejman S1 Demos

via doctorvague on electro-music.com

"Demos of the S1Mk2 controlled by 2 Doepfer A-155 sequencers and a few other support modules including a Modcan dual quantizer. The sound is S1Mk2 with no patch cords other than Gate/Trigger and CV in. Nothing on the audio except a UA 140 plate reverb and a stock plug-in limiter to bring levels in line. Triggers generated by a DIY interface described geekily here: http://www.electro-music.com/forum/topic-28737.html"
