PlayFader PlayMates - ALM Busy Circuits Akemie's Castle

Next episode in our PlayMates series is a mellow improvised jam. PlayFader plays with Akemie's Castle by ‪@busycircuits‬ fed through ‪@RabidElephant‬ Natural Gate and then ‪@strymon‬ El Capistan V2.

Both channels of PlayFader are set to User Scale and fed into both VCOs of Akemie's to create two separate melodic lines exploring different timings selected in the ratchet clock divider menu. PlayFader is a fun and interactive 2 channel sequencer that is capable of creating complex harmonies and rhythms live.

Later on you see Latch being used, this allows the recorded contents of the loop buffer to be overridden and played live by the fader position. A nice way to improvise and a quick double-tap of Latch will unlatch both channels at the same time… giving a nice way to drop back into a recognisable pattern. We love Latch ❤️

Clock is running internally set at 74 bpm and the clock out is set to Midi which is driving El Capistan via ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ Midi Box.
