Benjolin Bohlen Pierce Jam
Here is a fairly simple fun patch using the Venom Benjolin Oscillator plus a couple expanders to chaotically generate all V/Oct sequencing, triggers, gates, and CV modulation for the entire patch (except for some VCO feedback phase modulation and feedback linear frequency modulation).
The Volts expander is configured to generate notes in the Bohlen-Pierce scale without the need of any quantizer. The Bohlen-Pierce scale divides an octave + perfect fifth into 13 even intervals, so this is a non-octave repeating scale with non-standard intervals.
This patch started out as my first musical experiment testing out the new Venom AD/ASR Envelope Generator (not yet released). Follow the link to see the development arc for the module - there are a bunch of dev releases. I didn’t do anything crazy with the EG in this patch, though it has lots of capabilities.
I opted to restrict myself to only using Venom and VCV branded modules, with the only effects being a bit of delay for the high voice, and reverb for the entire patch. Other than that, the sounds from the two VCO Unit oscillators and the VCV Drums are raw, with simple modulation providing the interesting timbres.
