Thanks! Great modules, thanks for making them!
Tonight in Breaking BPM: modulating a clock with the v/oct of its sequencer.
(not pictured: the sort of epiano that’s coming from the Microfreak)

That’s really beautiful.

That’s a really cute case on the right – Been thinking about the best way to add nice wooden cases to pachde1 (Skiff or FancyBox).

Nice piece Urs!

Some few days ago, Omri Cohen made a post about the practice of practicing and it met me right as I was pondering participating in this year’s Jamuary: so, to maybe do small, daily, patches in which I don’t aspire to create “pieces” or whatever but just to collect and illustrate techniques I often do or to explore new stuff, promising modules I haven’t used much. That type of thing. Make a focused library of sorts.
Today got out of hand a bit.
However, this wasn’t without nice and new discoveries: what an absolute powerhouse for chord progression the Trigs & ADDR-Seq combo is. And how Sample&Hold on a large Clock Division can be a superb tool to arm changes in a performance (Impromptu’s CV-Pad to change Autobreak’s patterns).
(Also, music theory, huh? I really need to dig into understanding how this uses all of the notes and never sounds wrong or 12-tone random.)

Jamuary progressions: I’ve been having a really nice time with this Alloy module recently. Here it is again in a relaxed, ambient Krell patch:
… and one more time, basically the same patch, but with a What If I Played My Microfreak Through It; and some field recording (just on my phone) of when we went sledging this past weekend.
Speaking of Krell patches, this one’s not relaxed 
- a recreation of my recreation of one of the first VCV patches I had seen on Youtube - by “Synthikat”? something like that? - and of the moment I discovered that you can modulate Macro Oscillator’s model.*
and speaking of First VCV Patches… the result of kind of a roleplaying exercise, as in teaching someone VCV with the default modules, going from building block to building block.

Thanks, @LarsBjerregaard !
Another one that came out of seeing what little tunes I can make while going basic but then I spent quite a lot of time playing and tinkering with it. Post-Kraut-Rock Folk, whimsically. If I had to label it.

Another one with the Stregafreak.
Patch notes? Patch notes: VCV sends a Gm/C with gates to Microfreak, its sound - and v/oct - go through Strega back into VCV. A copy of that raw voice passes Rings, with a slow arpeggiator playing the chords’ notes into Rings’ pitch input. Both voices get mixed and send on their merry fx way: Valhalla Delay, Arturia Plate 140 and a pinch of Supermassive. Plateau, naturally. Same chord into FM-OP with an unsynced Chronoblob for a trace of a dubby rhythm. Simplicitor for some fresh snow crunch texture.
I realise I could have used my Keystep to let Strega’s voice have some, more notes, but it felt like overkill, on the table. I’m looking to buy an 0-CTRL however, come next paycheck!
