Quiet, dark ambient, generative patch with 7 voices (piano, guitar, pad, percussion, bass, noise swell and ladder) for relaxation, balance and inspiration.
Piano, guitar and pad each play chords that are assembled on the fly by randomly adding on notes from Mr. Chainkov. Pianoid shows what is played.
Filling and clearing the Chainkov buffer is automated and timed, and random gates determine how many notes are playing.
Percussion and Bass patterns are triggered with uGraph.
Modulation (Walk, LLFO) was added to stir things up a bit. ShapeMaster fades voices in and out for variation.
ScaleCV and Diatonic CV turn Proteus pitch into chords, which fill MLâs Shift Register for pitch. Proteus also feeds Shifty by Path Set as a shift register for gates.
FM-OP as lead synth, supported by Supercell for occasional sparkle. Pad by docB as pad.
Thanks for pointing out these modules! I had not used them before, so now took them for a spin. Probably have not embraced their full potential yet, but already love them .
An entry to the Ambient Morph Challenge (February 2024). Initially, the piece was named âMetamorphosisâ, but then I thought âMorphogenesisâ to be more apt.
Ambient semi-generative patch. An exercise to create endless, smooth, light, random chord swells floating into each other. Added a couple of string and pling voices, complemented with a noise swell and sparse percussive elements. A slewed sine wave adds some eeriness. Shapemaster is used for arrangement. Overall a serene scene attempting to paint the infinity of the universe.
The notes of one of the arps are translated into gates for a tabla (Tala, Seaside Modular) and routed to different sounds depending on their pitch. This was accomplished using a simple comparison script for BASICally (Stochastic Telegraph). The rhythm periodically changes randomly (NoteSeq16, JW).
An imaginary underwater landscape, where the animals sing and dance joyfully (in their own way).
I started out with the vision of marine sounds against a bassline, and once again getting there turned out to be much harder than anticipated.

4 voices: Bass, string, and high and low-pitch noises from Elastika and Tube Unit, respectively.
8-step ostinato of a heavy bass with moving timbre from Sine VCO. String from Palette, with modulated timbre.
Sequence from 8Seq with occasional random gate dropouts, and slight root note variation from Slips.
Sapphire Nucleus, Glee and Frolic modulate all kinds of things. Trans- and cross-modulation adds variety. Modulation of the Speed knob of Nucleus makes its signal jump around, sometimes slow, sometimes fast.
ShapeMaster for panning and volume control in the arrangement.
