"Essence" | Generative Modular Ambient

This patch is something of a happy accident! I sat down with quite a clear idea of what I wanted to try out, something with both Crave and modular that might make another video. But as soon as I patched the first voice (Beehive) up roughly I liked it so much I wanted to record just that! So after a bit of tweaking and modulation here's the result =D

My lava lamp is back in the shot for the first video in a while as well xD

I really hope you enjoy, thank you so much for watching =D

Patch Notes:

Recorded with Behringer UMC-202HD interface into DAW.

Modules:
Behringer CP1-a power supply
Micro Ornament and Crime (Benisphere firmware)
After Later Audio Baker (MI Peaks clone)
After Later Audio Beehive (MI Plaits clone)
Tenderfoot Electronics SVF-1 filter
After Later Audio Monsoon (MI Clouds clone)
Instruo Ochd
4ms Listen 4

Ornament and Crime is sequencing using the TB-3PO applet. Sending pitch and trigs to Beehive.

Baker is in Tap LFO mode with a random shape. Channel 1 is modulating note density on TB-3PO, and channel 2 is modulating the diffusion on Monsoon, to move the delay signal around the stereo field.

Beehive is in the 2nd green mode, with both Timbre and Morph being modulated by Ochd. Audio is going through SVF-1 into Monsoon.

SVF-1's lowpass output is patched. There's a bit of resonance and the cuttoff is being modulated by Ochd.

Monsoon is in delay mode, with the shortest buffer size to give a reasonably fast delay. Lots of reverb and feedback (repeats) but no modulation other than the diffusion (density slider).

Ochd is doing it's usual modulation goodness =D

Listen 4 is outputting into my audio interface. In the DAW there's a little bit of stereo widening, saturation and limiting for audio levels.
