Sunday Ambient #29

It’s a dreary Sunday here - damp, chilly, kinda gross outside. Perhaps it’s fitting that today’s jam is a bit dark and droning. I recorded this last month before Halloween. Maybe I was getting in the spooky spirit? Hope you like it and have a happy Sunday! Headphones on! Podcast Did you know you can listen to my music in your favorite podcast app? I didn’t until recently. Just click the Listen On dropdown menu on the track player and get a RSS link that will deliver fresh music to your podcast app once a week. How cool is that? Patch Notes * Subharmonicon is main voice. * DFAM provides some percussive bell-ish sounds. * Mother 32 drones in and out (VCA on, occasionally changing notes.) * Grandmother runs a slow sequence that only serves to slowly change pitch of Subharmonicon VCO 2. * The Grandmother’s envelope is used to provide subtle pitch transition of Subharmonicon VCO2. * The Mother 32’s mixer provides a VCA for Grandmother’s envelope. * A-154-4 square LFO to A-160-2 (master clock) * Grandmother KB out to Mother 32 Mix2 * Grandmother +Env Out to Mother 32 VC Mix Ctrl * Mother 32 VC Mix to Subharmonicon VCO 2 * Subharmonicon trigger out to Grandmother Env Trigger In * Chaos Z to Mother 32 VCO Mod and VCF Cutoff * Chaos Y to Subharmonicon Cutoff * A-160-2 (/2) to Subharmonicon Clock * A-154-4 square LFO to DFAM Adv/Clock * DFAM Pitch to DFAM VCF Mod * DFAM VCF EG to VCA CV The Tools All my gear is below.
