New Moon

A realtime modular synthesizer piece. Ambient drone with pitched tones. Faster sequences done with two CGS01 sub oscillator/harmonic sequencer modules. A third CGS01 was used for subharmonic drone sounds.
The background drone is a single Oakley vco. One channel is saw wave through an Oakley Discontinuity wavefolder, to an Ian Fritz 5 Pulser, to a J Haible Tau Phaser and finally into a DD400 digital delay. The second portion of the drone is the same Oakley vco's sine wave out into a CatGirl Synth CGS01 sub oscillator. I pulled up some sub octaves to send through a Synthetic Sound Labs 1310 digital delay which was voltage controlled by a MegaOhm Audio LFO2.

Other static repeating sequences are various voices from Q960, Q119, STG time suite and Moon 554 & 563.

The faster broken repeating line in the mid section is a third CGS01 in harmonic sequencer mode. I got the control voltages from another MegaOhm Audio LFO2 which was reset synchronized to itself. The lower LFO section sent a slow square wave into the upper section which was a faster triangle wave. This output along with the slower sine wave out went to the CGS01. The output B of the CGS01 was mixed with a B output from another CGS01 with faster subdivisions and sent through a vca which was lfo controlled. This set up a varying fast and slow pattern which repeated due to the sync of the LFO2 against the vca filtered 2nd CGS01. All voltages from the CGS01's were sent through several Q171 quantizers before going to the vco's.

The patch utilized a variation on an idea from Hans Munz (a.k.a consumed) in a muffwiggler topic from a few years back. Essentially it was an FM and AM patch and you can see me mixing in the AM into it and changing the AM octave properties on the Q106 vco.

FX included Strymon ElCapistan, Blue Sky, Lexicon MX200, Behringer DD400 and TC Electronics D-Two.
The Oakley vco, discontinuity wavefolder and 5 Pulser were all vc modified from an Ian Fritz ChaQuO chaos generator oscillator. A subtle but big effect there.
