Malekko Manther, Ensemble Oscillator, Polygogo & Frap Tools USTA – Modular Synth

Malekko Manther and Frap Tools USTA in a modular performance that shows the beautiful side of Manther’s CEM3340 analog VCO chip, ssm2044 analog filter chip & incredibly smooth chords from 4ms Ensemble Oscillator.
Recorded in stereo in one take, no overdubs. Pure modular analog and digital sound synthesis, no samples were used.

00:00 Theme 1: Manther solo sequence, speeding up clock
00:24 Ensemble Oscillator (chords) sequenced with USTA / pattern loop 1–4
00:37 BIA (drums/perc), Manis Iteritas (bass) & Polygogo (solo), all sequenced with USTA
01:17 Theme 2: Polygogo and Manis Iteritas in octaves / pattern loop 5–16
01:58 Pattern loop 1–4 / unmute-mute Manther
02:25 Theme 2: Polygogo and Manis Iteritas in octaves / pattern loop 5–16
02:52 Pattern loop 13–16 / unmute-mute Manther, theme 1
03:33 Mute BIA and Manis Iteritas

The BIA drum sequence uses USTA's pitch-CV, raw-CV and gate probability and variation layers for some degree of unpredictability.
Polygogo's solo sequence is almost entirely random due to pitch and gate probability and variation layers.
