"This is something a bit more seasonal...for Mr Thorne!
Patched in around two days, a bit of a record for me...but still a bit rough sounding and the arrangement could be a lot better."

Garibaldi On The Peak

"Using the Quantimator to produce both chords and arpeggiation. Switching between arpeggiation and sequence using a FOH Choices. Sound produced by an lfo'd Piston Honda.

Bass Z3000 (mixed waveforms) sequenced by Rene. Other sequence from the Modcan, AS95 through a A108 filter.

Noise from a Noisering randomly filtered from a Filtare filter using the Noisering cv.

Usual delay from El Capistan and reverb from Space."

The Quartet Test

"Machinedrum supplies percussion and master clock source.
PP controlling E340 thru various filters to create lead sound. Bass from AFG sequenced by Modcan Touch sequencer. Sport Modulator and Quantimator controlling MFB triple Osc to created randon slewed chord sound. 2x Ulfo's FM'ing each other thru a LGP controlled by A155.
Other stuf fgoing on but you get the idea...short sharp and to the point!"

"This was set up before Christmas, it changed and then changed again until I couldn't hold out any longer. With new ideas coming to mind it was time to record.

Modcan sequencer doing Qu-Bit Chord duties and the Telharmonic, Metropolis providing the clock and sequencing the subby uLFO bassline. Radio Music going through Echophone plus HertzDonut and FMVDO provding FM'd clangs. a few filters and some guitar pedals adding effects."

"First track for an age. It's been patched up for weeks, no months, and had various re-patches but I could hold out no more. The Qu-Bit Chord going through the Strymon in orchestre mode...lush"

Cracked Fork Waiting

"All modular apart from the Machindrum (which also provides the clock for the sequences) and the El Capistan Delay.
Only just got around to recording this after 6 weeks of it being patched up because of being laid up due to a bad back!"

It's Not Ideal

Published on Jun 22, 2015 snipz

"First track for nearly three years.
Lots of reasons for this but it's not ideal!
Last foray with the A155/154 sequencer combo before I move onto new territories, and the first outing with the Strymon Big Sky that makes the chords sound so nice."

"A152 being clocked from A155 seq provides 'Moroderesque' bass line (from AFG) going through A101 filter. Bell sound again from Hertz Donut but triggered via MATHs to create trills and inconsistant timbres and processed by spring reverb from Z5000. Booming drum/sfx from Z3000 going through A189 bit crusher."

"I don't really do drone. I think there are others out there who do it far better but I thought I'd give it a go.
Most interesting thing going on here is a Doepfer wavefolder processing Rings with Vulcan modulating the folding, and a Sport Modulator lfo going through a Flame Tame Machine with a custom scaling.
Oh, and I've still been very wobbly on my feet, hence the time to do another track and the name of it..."

Composition for unborn daughter part 3

YouTube Published on Jun 8, 2012 by snipz

"Final third of the trilogy, with only three weeks to go before the due date! A simple patch but using the Flame Chord machine to produce the arpeggiated Piston Honda which is scrolling through the wavetables and ultimately given a sheen thanks to the Eventide Space. Sequenced Flame chords via the modded Doepfer clock sequencer and Circuit Abbey ADSR jr via a Flame FX6 in flanger mode. Bass is using an A155 sequencer to drive a Livewire AFG via a Flight of Harmony SoS. Bell sound is a Hertz Donut and Modcan FMVDO mixed and sequenced by a TipTop Z8000 and Intelligel uStep via the El Capistan delay pedal. Whole thing clocked thanks to the 4MS RCD and SCM."

"Apart from a filter sweep from the XTK everything is from the Modular, clock (and drums) from MachineDrum.
Need another clock divider then would alter the sequence more through the track, making more use of the A155/154!"

"MFB LFO stuff going on here...with added Doepfer quad LFO too. Wave multiplier, VCO's FM'ing and ASys filter affected...and a bit of random voltage here and there to spice things up!"

"Using the Doeper A155 as a clock and using the sequencer in one-shot mode. x2 pad/lead sequences coming from the fab Modcan touch sequencer, bass from Rene.
Excuse my dodgy PP playing!"

YouTube via snipz — May 31, 2010 — "Mainly modular. Soundmaster drum machine providing beats and master clock for the sequences. String sound from XTk...I will one day get the dividing/switching/sequencing right to do away with that!

Using AFG, Hertz Donut, Z3000 and AS95 oscillators going through Polivoks/A108/A101 filters. Bass sequence from A155, random lpg from Noisering/Envelator/Borg combo, 'whale' sound is Z3000 through a Polivoks filter then Sound of Shadows but the pitch being modulated by sine lfo from Vulcan going through a A137 whose symmetry/multiples being altered by the Vulcan and an MFB lfo. Phew!"
