I’m posting this in its own topic in case anyone else would like to join in:
A 3-module challenge featuring AstroVibe, a brilliant multi-oscillator created by @Patheros.
To kick things off I’m posting what I came up with, but it’s by no means tapping into all the potential of this really inspiring module, so I thought it would be fun to see more of what others can do with it. This is not a contest or competition or anything; there is no judging and the only “rule” is to use at most 3 modules (excluding audio/recorder modules), with at least one of the modules being AstroVibe. Hoping that limitations can breed creativity for you, have fun!
This sounds amazing Marc - particularly from around 6:30 where it sounds like an “Alien Soul Eater” haha - a kind of alien/monster sound combined with the sound of masses of people from a distance… on a spaceship with enormous engines
I think Astro Vibe just begs to be self patched. I didn’t do much with the other modules. Just a bit of attenuvertion to get a bit more variation in the CV levels, and some tuned reverb to beef up the sound a bit.
Sorry about changing recording levels mid stream. It gets louder at 2:54, but nothing outrageous.
I still need to study the internal routing and try to understand better what many of the controls do. I may have patch cables that are doing effectively nothing.
A challenge like this is a good opportunity to explore different effects. Minimizes the distraction of a million options, and forces you to focus. I’ll stop posting with this configuration, but I’ll likely continue to experiment on my own.
This is such a fun module, but I’ll give up now after hours of trying to get something musical from it. I tried resampling, using it as modulations source, self-modulation, sequencing different things and I always lack a few modules. Kudos to all here, I am not yet ready for a three module challenge I think
