I’m having a blast exploring interconnections between my Moog synths. This was a fun bit that came about through some experimentation. I’m learning more about patching things and there is a good bit of patching across the modules here. It’s so easy to get lost for a few hours. I need that right now.
Headphones on. Enjoy!
Instrumentation and Recording Tools
* Moog Grandmother
* Moog Subharmonicon
* Moog DFAM
* Zoom MS-70CDR (reverb)
* Mackie Mix8 mixer
* Zoom HS6 recorder
Patch Notes
* SH VCO 1 -> DFAM VCO 1 CV
* SH CLOCK -> DFAM ADV/CLOCK
* SH VCF EG -> VCF DECAY
* DFAM VCO EG -> DFAM VCA CV
* DFAM VELOCITY-> VCF MOD
* DFAM PITCH -> GM ATTENUATOR IN
* GM ATTENUATOR OUT -> GM MULT
* GM MULT -> GM ENV AMT IN
* GM MULT -> GM CUTOFF IN
* GM MULT -> SH VCO2 PWM
* GM KB OUT -> GM MOD RATE IN
* GM MOD WAVE OUT -> GM NOISE IN
* GM VCO 2 FREQUENCY TUNED UP A 7TH
* GM MOD RATE TUNED TO AUDIO RATE FOR A 3RD VCO
Alternate Version
I recorded an initial version where I was modulating the Cutoff filter on the Subharmonicon, rather than the VCO2 pulse width modulation. I decided it was a bit too much in the higher frequencies for the sound I had in mind. Actually, I decided that while listening to it in my car during my commute. Things can sound quite different between studio quality headphones and crappy factory speakers in a car. This is a learning process for me and since it was already “on tape” I thought what the heck, I’ll post it as well. Maybe you’ll like it better.
