Modular Synth Music: Buchla, Erogenous Tones STRUCTURE video synth, MachineDrum UW, Metasonix

Dubwise! This was a bunch of fun to put together. I'm a total newb at everything video synthesis and the video took as long to put together as the music! This is totally fine as both the music and video originate from workflow explorations. I'll continue with that discussion after outlining the gear in use. The MachineDrum UW is sequencing the entire thing. I used "Song Mode" for the first time in about 10 years. It is incredibly weird feeling but also liberating as I can trigger and mutate things by hand and just let the sequence flow. Also, as of late, I've been wanting to get back into structure and commitment as I'm finding 'intent and purpose' to hold greater risk than 'etudes', 'studies', 'aimless wanking' in near-purposeless explorations. All of that is well and good, but I'm enjoying it less these days. I'm definitely going to do more in the way of using Song Mode so that I can manipulate tracks and not worry about sequence timing as things get laid to wax. Drums: Mostly a circuit bent TR-707. I use an X1L3 DDX (another circuit bent & hugely modded drummer+) for the crunchy reverse & straight rimshots and snares. The delay on those is internal to that machine. MDUW only contributes high hats but sequences everything. Bubble Drums by Metasonix D-1000 through Moog MF-104m delay. Chords are from the 1979 DAO module and/or them being sampled and digitally savaged in the MDUW. When the wah/filter kicks in, that's the Folktek Conduit. I bring that into the signal path via the Buchla 223e gate toggles. Those are then boosted by the Buchla 256e CV Processor. DAO sent through Buchla 296e and mixed with the dry signal. Bassline is the the 259e with the Studio.h DPO following along with a fat sine wave for the tubby-dubby. The 259e is going through a Moog Cluster-Flux that I manually punch in at key times. It sounds so good in stereo that I think that I'll put a stereo version up on my SounCloud account. I wanted to do this in mono after listening to 70s dub whilst working on the studio & workflow optimizations. That may have been a mistake. None of the 200e sequencers are doing anything but looking pretty and bringing the Red, Gold, Green Cool Runnings vibes. I had started this project using the 251e with nested loops. Due to the firmware still being buggy, it simply wouldn't work consistently and I gave up on that. Tonal music? Easier to do via MIDI and the i2c bus anyhow. Delays: Folktek Conduit, MoogerFooger MF-104M analog delay (used on the Metasonix D-1000), MDUW internal delay, home-brew SynthTech E580 in Buchla 200 format, As usual, lots of Eardrill on this: mixer, q.vca, Pendulum/Ratchet, d.lfo; likely more. Almost all of the video processing was done by the Erogenous Tones Structure. I need to spend more time with manual in short order as they keep adding new things to the device and I'm still very much behind the curve. Lots of mistakes that still turned out nicely. The feedback (around the 04:30 mark) is entirely internal to the device and is the first time that I've done it without a mixer and/or camera in the classic manner. A very small minority was done on my iPad via my video editor. Regarding workflow, I was rewiring my studio in order to improve my 'creative mode' when in the place. This involved a bunch of maintenance work: soldering, cabling, and so forth. I completely serviced and cleaned my beloved and long-neglected Multivox MX-312 Tape Echo and the new belts arrived on Saturday. I was very tempted to put one in and swap out one of the delays for it. However, one bit of advice that I learned 12 times the hard way: don't screw up your workflow unnecessarily. 1/2 the time that I 'just try something out', something frustrating goes wrong and it destroys the creative flow. Only fully working and tested stuff is allow "in the Sacred Creative Space". I've now managed to get everything synchronized via MIDI and analog clock. All of the routing is in place and I can easily use MIDI, pulses or both (as in this track). It took a long time to sort out and I can also press one RESET button and reset all of the modular stuff at once. Things I've learned in addition to just needing to spend more time with the deeper boxes: • Improve workflow for video production. It takes a long time to record, convert, etc. My screen-capturing is less than ideal as well. Cameras, cabling, conversion... blah... chaos. • Better/smarter use of Patterns on the MDUW. I'm very excited by this prospect. • Live resampling on the MDUW. Everything I tried sounded inappropriate (to say the least) for this dub track. I tried many approaches; learned a lot via failing to produce anything 'good'. • I need to change some wiring on my audio interfaces. I plan ahead but actual use brought forth a couple of needed changes; as expected. • This the first time that I recorded without a buss compressor. Nope. Never again. • I miss stereo! Mono is not the romance that I tried to make it out to be.
