Enhancing the Live Patch: Modulations, Sidechain, and Percussion Adjustments (Part 3)

In this third video, I continue to make small improvements to the patch, adding some modulations. Additionally, I've increased the BPM by 10, bringing it to 145 BPM, as I know I'll have very limited time to perform.

I've also added the kraken snare. Although, as I mentioned in previous videos, I'm not entirely happy with the control it offers, as I struggle to find satisfying sounds, by keeping the volume low and considering it almost like a percussion element, it seems to work well.

Another addition I've made is setting up a sidechain system for the kick to lower the volume of other instruments when the kick hits, using the Dark Matter. I notice that the sub of the kick doesn't push as much as I would like in the low frequencies, but it's already a bit better compared to the previous video, where it seemed to lack energy in the sub-bass range.

I believe the real progress in this session has been finding a good balance for the percussion, especially in terms of volume and synthesis. It seems that the rhythm elements are very well mixed now.

The concert is tomorrow, so there's not much time left to perfect this patch. I'll use the remaining time to polish the patterns and add a few more modulations.
