AMBIENT 002 – MODULAR SYNTH AND GRANULAR GUITAR

Experimental session using the modular synth to process live ambient guitar with complex looper/delay and effects, on top of generative drone sounds. Guitar signal chain:

  • Line 6 Helix Stomp clean amp, stereo out
  • Befaco Sallen Key dual filter, modulated by multiple un-synced Doepfer LFOs and Mutable Tides
  • Monsoon (Mutable Instruments Clouds clone) granular pitch shift and reverb, freeze is sequenced randomly from Pioneer Toraiz Squid. Noise from Telharmonic modulating the grain position.
  • Strymon Magneto delay in sound-on-sound looper mode, for long degenerating evolving loops that can be played over. Loop in/out from a DIY foot pedal sending a 5v gate

4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator bass rumble:

  • gets a simple bass pulse from the WMD Proton
  • 4MS Resonator fills out the sound, sort of EQ-like
  • Roland Torcido configured as a dual LP filter, getting random modulations from the Turing Machine

Make Noise Telharmonic chord drones:

  • Plays a simple triad, sequenced by the Squid, with random probability
  • Make Noise MMG Filter, ADSR sequenced by Squid
  • Make Noise Erbe Verbe
