Although my rig-let is not as boner-inducing as T's or N's, it is still fun as crappp! I love the weird bassoon timbre.
Lil Chud bits:
CVM MFOS VCO square lowlowlow freq to Buchla clone LPG, both controlled by Voice of Saturn sequencer, two VoS LFO sections modding VCO, and one LFO controlled by sequencer CV for waves of squigglies (not Squiggy). Lots of crossmodulating. SubOsc also going to LPG for rhythmic clickies n texture. PB&J sandwich going thru Voice of Saturn VCF. All running thru the ole Echoplex.
Here's a piece done in one take with the following:
Audio Path: Steiner VC Oscillator (David Ingebretsen re-issue) -> Buchla 292c LPG Clone (amp mode) Music From Outer Space VCO -> Blacet MiniWave -> Buchla 292c LPG Clone (amp mode) Music From Outer Space VCO -> Blacet Klang Werk -> Voice of Saturn VCF -> Buchla 292c LPG Clone (amp mode)
Buchla 292c LPG Clone (amp mode) -> Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter -> Ableton Live Ableton Live send -> Roland RE-201 Space Echo
CV Mod: Blacet Binary Zone -> Blacet Klang Werk carrier cv Doepfer A-146 LFO -> wave select on MiniWave, bank 9 Bananalogue Serge VCS in loop mode -> Cutoff of Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter
This is kind of what it sounds like inside my head today. The oscillators are tuned in octaves, with the MiniWave slowly cycling through a folded sine-wave sequence, creating richer harmonics. Its all just a self-playing patch, though at the end I tweak the rise and fall of the VCS to make it go a bit nuts. Yummy.
Steiner VC Oscillator (David Ingebretsen re-issue) Music From Outer Space VCO Doepfer A-140 Envelope Gen Voice of Saturn VCF Buchla 292c LoPass Gate Clone Grendel Drone Commander (Eric Archer) Blacet 2440 Stonz Phaser Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synth (kick drum sounds)
All going into my motu 828 mkII and Ableton live, which also provided some drum sounds and midi-cv sequencing via a Kenton ProSolo MKII.
I basically was playing around with different bass sounds to make a slammin' techno dancefloor choon. The 2 oscs were both on square wave, relatively at 50% pulsewidth. The VoS VCF was just used as a 2 input mixer which then fed its output into the newly added filter input to my Drone Commander (with the internal oscillators switched off). The output of that was then fed into the Buchla LPG which was in VCA mode, being triggered byt the Doepfer envelope gen. The final signal was sent through the Sontz in neg. phaser mode with a stereo output and a slow LFO pan. There's a square wave that ends up in there doubling up the bass for thickness's sake from a simple plugin.
