Great demos! I especially like the ambient air and filter recordings. Look forward to hearing some music made with the S1 & Rozzbox!
Thanks to everyone for your comments on this demo! I'm bowled over and more than a little bemused that in this day and age, given the styles of music some of us make, a nice simple melodic arpeggio can still tickle the ear :)
@R Ben Brown: What a question! ;) There's never been a better time to go modular: more formats, modules, possibilities and choice. Unfortunatelly that can make a decision all the more daunting. First you should decide what sort of system you want (e.g. luxury monosynth, crazy aleatoric music machine, audio mangler/ processor), then have a look at what's on offer and decide on a format (Euro, Frac, 'Moog' etc.) Start small and get to know your modules. You'll find adding to a system you know well works better than dropping a load of wonga on a large system in one go. It's a learning process - that applies to everyone, regardless of experience. But that's also the joy. In concrete terms, you could try Clavia's free G2 Modular demo to get your head round the way of thinking, although patching virtual cables just ain't the same ;) I personally started with a semi-modular (Analogue Systems modded Roland MC-202) and this was a great way of learning. That said, I think I outgrew it in a matter of weeks lol! Read my blog, visit Muff Wiggler's forum and, if you're in the States, give Shawn at Analog Haven a call, if you're in Europe call Schneidersbuero and ask for Paul. I'm sure they'll be able to help. Cheers, Navs.
This is great stuff, right up my street.
@Scaff: I fed the QNT with a looping envelope, but you could use a rising ramp LFO. The two parameters which dictate the 'speed' of the notes and the pitch 'range' are the speed of the rising edge and the amplitude of EG/ LFO's output. So, if you have an attack time of 5 sec and a peak CV of 1V, you'll get a slow octave. Bump up the CV to 8V and reduce the attack time to 1 second and you get a bloody fast run of notes! In this patch I used the Wogglebug to generate a random value to modulate the attack time. Read the blog post for more details :) N.
@Paul Schal: thanks!
Shredding on a Moog! Fantastic mate :)
Nice one Cmore, like it! Good swing and arrangement. My only production suggestion would be that the individual elements sound divorced from one another i.e. it *doesn't* sound like we're in a Jazz club! Maybe get one nice room reverb on an aux and treat each sound to a measured dose. Similarly, maybe a little bit of hiss, rumble and crackle might help to add some ambience in the background. Then, as a final bit of ear candy, fly-in a real jazz drum break on the transitions. Hope this helps! Navs.

@Scaff: tell me it sounds better than the time factor. please ;)
Lars, thanks for tipping me off on your music. This track is something special! Gorgeous. The JP8 tracks are great too. Especially 'Plonk' :) Look forward to hearing more from you! Cheers, Navs.
...to here = stunning!

@Scaff: da kann ich nur einen Besuch beim HNO Arzt empfehlen, mindestens alle sechs Monate die Ohren spülen lassen, OK? ;)
@malutki: that would be a hep-cat, right? Cheers for the comment!
Ooo. Just read your previous comment. No, not a Faithless spoken vocal. A lush, female sung-vox please! :)
Wonderful. Well done for maintaining the drive and not dropping the ball even in the breaks (2nd re-build is particularly good). I'd add my voice to those who've called for a vocal: seems like a missed opportunity otherwise. A vocal would not only make it more commercial but also add to the emotion of an already uplifting track.
@helitron: thanks! i think you can do most of what the woggle does with other modules and certainly get more 'definable' results, but the woggle wins for beinga contained system that packs loads into a small space.
@Scaff: everybody needs a little woggle ;)
@Scaff: which one?? lol!
@Scaff: haha! thanks. the sound you like is (i think!) vco-2rm xmod'd, thru the doepfer ssm filter, lockhart wavefolder and then the polychorus for that bending metal sound .)
This is the biz. Can't wait for the next broadcast ...
Splendid! Great sounds and a lovely sense of space.
super! the groove is right up my street :) in places this sounds like mr scruff does minimal, which is no criticism! but if this IS the direction, then you should ham it up some more! personally, i think it's beggin for some micro-sliced horn stabs, a low-slung double bass, a second vocal sample and a few live percussion parts to compliment that 1920s swing.
Your shit is hot as evah!
No! No Rhodes! ;) I was with you all the way until now. lol. Reminds me of Akufen. Excellent work, Meic. Junk the e-piano and stick in more offbeat cut-up fragments and watch the dancefloor explode :)
@cedarcreststudio: thanks! it's Magnus' "Ambience' plug-in. absolutely marvellous ...
@cedarcreststudio: now you've lost me. saturday night fever? robot? are you saying john travolta can't dance? ;)
@cedarcreststudio: weeeel ... ;)
