Patch notes. Time is all 14-beat euclideans. Drone is 4ms Ensemble Oscillator through a Wasp, with LFOs on sweet crunchy spots. @stargirl's #CastorAndPollux <3 on the lead and upper. Lead rhythm hand-played on Euclidean Circles knobs. C&P channels separately enveloped but then mixed and sent together through Ripples band pass tuned to the lead pitch (self-resonating for the whistle at the end), then a fast 4ms DLD channel for crunch.
Wasp ramped to hi-resonance at the end because of course.
Made a sound tonight. Like usual, not a full song, just exploring with a single part.
Last week I swapped out some modules. Previously I had been trying to experiment with external inputs and without a pitch quantizer. For now I've decided to put the quantizer back in and pull the extra inputs and some utilities I wasn't using much. I also added several oscillators, though the sound tonight is all from #Winterbloom #CastorAndPollux (from @stargirl).
