2 Rack patches I like in one day. This patch has SO much potential. I’d love for people to try it out and let me hear what they come up with.
It’s simple (at least for my idea of simple) but it’s a monster sequence generator. I do everything I can to eff up the sequence - send each squonk a different clock from a JW 1Pat, which uses logic to break up the steady clock, use Probably Note to introduce variation before the final quantization of the pitch CV.
Not to be too pretentious, but what I’m trying to go to is something like Bach’s unaccompanied suites for cello and other instruments. It’s just one Squonk sequencer (well 2 Squonks) with a stimple VCV module voice. It’s a solo instrument.
I always have a question when I come up with something like this: when is what’s there enough? I find this compelling without the other accoutrements I usually dress up my music with: drums & other instruments, samples, sound effects. But this is exactly the musical idea I was going for.
A fun thing about this mix is that there’s no EQ or compression. I normaized it before uploading it, but because I’m on my junk laptops I don’t have CPU power for the fancy shit like that. And again, it’s a question of when is enough. Sometimes just hearing what the modules do without a ton of audio sweetening is good too.
