Moments Before the Wind | Eurorack + Opsix + Hapax
Second studio version of a recent live performance for Piqued at Mission Synths in SF.
This is a piece inspired by a recent visit to Battery Townsley north of San Francisco. The field recording in the beginning is from a field of frogs chirping near the battery at dusk, the Pacific Ocean lulling in the background. The field recording at the end is of the San Lorenzo River. The Tasty Chips ECR-1 convolution reverb has an impulse response of Battery Townsley.
After developing a live set based around samples in the ER-301, I wanted to swing back the other way and develop some sets based solely [or mostly] on synthesis and sound generation.
The Squarp Hapax provides the sequencing brains (with help from Hermod), splitting duty between the Korg Opsix and the eurorack. Entire patch is running through Elektron Analog Heat.
Voices:
Korg Opsix [FM strings]
Mutable Instruments Elements [modelled flute]
Mutable Instruments Rings x2 [modelled string and modelled rhodes]
4ms Ensemble Oscillator through Mannequins Three Sisters [bass]
Qu-Bit Surface [modelled string]
Make Noise Morphagene through Rossum Morpheus [field recordings]
Instruo Arbhar [sampled distortion pad]
Effects:
4ms Tapographic Delay
Tasty Chips ECR-1 [IR of Battery Townsley]
Mutable Instruments Clouds [looping delay mode]
Mutable Instruments Beads
Intellijel Rainmaker
Bizarre Jezebel Mimosa
Oto Bim and Bam [on a send from Knob Farm Ferry]
Happy to answer to any further patch note questions in the comments.
Thank you for listening and watching. Next up - a tutorial for time stretching with Mutable Instruments Beads.

    Ah man beautiful! Quick question - is all of that degradation and warbliness coming from the Magneto or is there some processing in post? If it's all Magneto then it sounds incredible! My case is 208hp and I went with Mimeophon on delay duties which is a much smaller (and also incredible!) module. Would need to do quite a significant redesign to fit in Magneto but maybe it is worth it!

    • @rbeny
      @rbeny Місяць тому

      so it's been a while, but from what I can gather Clouds (in looping delay mode, with a lower audio quality setting) is actually providing a lot of degradation and warbliness (and noise). Magneto is also excellent at warbles, but the feedback degradations are a bit different to Clouds in looping delay mode. Magneto's feedback sound can be a bit cleaner.

      hey there, so the custom units I had up would be pretty outdated at this point, only able to run on the 0.2.xx firmware. custom units now have the extension .unit or .pkg (pkg meaning it would be available as a regular unit and not just a custom unit variant). I also optimized ultraviolet a bit since then. here's a link to my OD forum post that has the latest files still up (someone made a .pkg file as well): forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/custom-unit-ultraviolet-granular-clouds-clone-new-version-for-0-6-14-out-now-post-215/747 let me know if that works.

      the only time I use the pitch knob in looping delay mode is with the buffer frozen. the pitch shifting with the delay buffer still open can sound a little funky, but sounds great once a loop is frozen. I do use the pitch knob with an active buffer in the granular, time stretching, and spectral modes though.
