038//Bells of the Abyss - atmospheric Moog Mother 32 drone with Eventide Space

An atmospheric semi-self-generating patch using a small Eurorack setup sent through an Eventide Space Modechoverb reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on tape delay setting.

After a drought of drone-like patches, I turned my reverb mix up to 100% wet and let the bells toll away. This may not be the most complicated of my patches, but it doesn’t need to be to successfully create a deep, unnerving atmosphere.

PATCH NOTES:
The higher M32 supplies the bass drone. It’s a saw wave with a 3 note, randomly reset sequence. The filter cutoff and resonance are randomly modulated, with the cutoff sometimes rising and falling due to the envelope modulation.
The bells come from the lower M32. The sequence is randomly clocked, with the overall tempo getting faster and faster before jumping back to slow, and is occasionally reset. The LFO is running in audio rates to supply FM to the M32 oscillator, and this sound is mixed with the Minimod VCO following the main pitch to give the bell a more tonal quality. The filter cutoff and resonance are randomly modulated.
The wind is white noise from a M32 with its volume modulated by the Minimod DH-ADSR, which is triggered only when both a square LFO and a Maths LFO are high (Veils is being used to give this AND logic gate).
Finally, the reverb is 100% wet.
