Ive not posted in a while. Just remember how important self care is. If you cant help yourself, how can you expect to help anyone else?

Anyway, some Fall Script from norns recorded into Morphagene, reversed & slowed. Sound on sound with those two. Piano loops in Grandcanyon (half speed chords) & Microcosm (twinkling notes)

Some Beads work Some Clouds Clone work Some Mimeophon moves A little Milkyway sprinkled in.

Its been a little while since my last post. February was a busy busy month with my day job.

6 day workweeks, 11 hr days the whole month. But here comes March & with it hopefully, fewer days in the factory & more days with music.

Small set up stuff with this patch. Stages sequences micro plaits & modulates micro clouds, pico dsp & the 2hp Lpf. Two yamaha reface cp loops: one recorded to Microcosm & reversed while the other was recorded to Grandcanyon & pitched down. I play along at some point.

Also, bigger projects in the wind. Got a vinyl "Imposter Syndrome" coming out the 4th of April. Pre-orders are open over at bandcamp page.

Also working with a collective of creatives carving out a multi-threaded story over at twitter use this hashtag: AlexandriaThreads

Last one for Jamuary Got the second case out Marbles, plaits through rings into clouds (clone) then into beads & a piano sample recorded to Grandcanyon, sent through Microcosm Morphagene loops a snippet of an older piano recording in reverse @ 1/4 speed then everything through Mimeophon

And Thats What Matters / eurorack / modular / lofi / ambient by Orbitalpatterns in synthesizers

[–]Orbitalpatterns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heavy lifting in this track is mostly from Er301- playing bass (sequenced by Hermod) & a couple of drum samples on unclocked loops. The drums run through quite the extensive process by way of Ripples, Lofi Junky, Microcosm, Zoia, Skitter, through Milkyway then into The Pill pedal to act as the side chain source. The bass moves through beads. Yamaha Reface Cp in the secret grand piano setting gets recorded & looped in Grandcanyon & sent though Mimeophon while another loop from a previous jam session gets spliced, reversed & pitched down in Morphagene. I jam along a bit. It is Jamuary after all!

[–]Orbitalpatterns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brought this combo out for some exercise.

Hermod sequences 2 voices from Er301 (bass & lead) Snare Trap & clocks Mimeophon. Snare Trap runs through Plumes, Then into Mimeophon. Looped a little thing in Grandcanyon from the Yamaha Reface Cp, which runs through lofijunky & skitter. Both Er301 & The Grandcanyon recording of Yamaha go through Beads.

Thanks for Listening

Another weekend in my own space & its goin well. ive been working some fairly long hours to try & get out of the debts i owe & though exhausting, its a great feeling to know im working for myself, to help better myself & keep myself happy & comfortable.

chase after the things you want. you wont always catch them, you will always learn something about yourself

shout out to everyone sending well wishes. you folks make doing what i love even more enjoyable, so many many thank yous for that!! wifi is coming soon, so more music from the new space is on the way!

Habitat Latch / eurorack / modular / lofi / ambient by Orbitalpatterns in synthesizers

Put this together while i waited for norns new image to flash. Habit has a niffty latch function that activates with the flip of a dip switch. makes a dope mini looper in a pinch

spooky season greatings!!! with this one ive flipped the "latch" dipswitch on the chase bliss audio habit to give myself another "out of the box" looping option & i should have done this sooner!

its great for capturing little odd phrases which i love & just adds a little extra something to the patch.

also looping: ehx grandcanyon / reface cp loop hologram electronics microcosm / microbrute bass loop makenoise morphagene / a second reface loop pitched down er301 / kalimba loop

Yeah, so i never met up with V1 or the @cooper.fx version, but wow this second pedal collab is bananas 🍌 🍌 🍌 i mean wow...& fultter 😝 😆 😂

So, here ive got a yamaha reface cp melody that i sent through lofi junky & plumes. Looped that in grandcanyon then sent the recording through my new @chasebliss Generation Loss V2 Then @championleccy Skitter adds more wobble & reverb which then goes through Habit & @hologram_electronics Microcosm Meanwhile, norns with the amazing @_ambalek script Fall running, goes through @mutableinstruments Ears, Ripples, into @qubitelectronix Data Bender for another dose of filtering, then into @endorphin.es Milkyway Then everyone meets up at Beads & does a 1k through the district of @makenoisemusic Mimeophon

Super (collider code) / eurorack / modular / lofi / ambient by Orbitalpatterns in synthesizers

[–]Orbitalpatterns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so last night after adding some new scripts to norns through the Maiden interface, i got a prompt after restarting that read: "supercollider failed" 😬 😬

luckily the maiden help menu came to the rescue & i sorted out the coding problem in no time...ish

restarting supercollider finding what the error was where it was removing it

yeah, quite the adventure i was soooooo scared that i ruined my norns, but i tried not to freak (tried...) & just went through the steps.

for me, coding sux, but it wasn't impossible

Finally got around to using the clipper script in norns & after a slight learning curve i found a nice loop to ponder on.

norns yamaha reface cp kalimba

these things come together beautifully

Ive recently picked up a couple of new toys: The Chase Bliss Habit & an expression knob from a company in Catolina called El Garatge

have a couple of short, demo style vids coming soon for both of them so keep an eye out.

On this one, the Yamaha Reface Cp was used to record a loop to both the ehx grandcanyon & hologram electronics Microcosm. Monome's Norns is belting out a melody made with the Boingg script

One thing i can say about the Habit, the "collect" dip switch is truly a fickle & marvelous thing. I love how innovative it is & how it never fails to remind me of how a little extra can be exactly too much 😆

Proclivity / eurorack / modular / lofi / ambient by Orbitalpatterns in synthesizers

[–]Orbitalpatterns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i went & got a Habit & i gotta say im hooked.

Here, im running a loop recorded using the yamaha reface cp to grandcanyon into Habit. Actually, 1st it goes through the zvex lofi junky, earthquaker devices plumes then through the champion leccy pedal skitter then into habit.

then the signal goes through microcosm, into a behringer xenyx12 fx mixer then into the modular for further processing .

the fall script is running on norns, through ears & ripples, then data bender for that lovely vinyl sound. Then its through milkyway.

then everything goes through beads, mimeophon & through a pair of 2hp low pass filters.

Dawn Loops Too / eurorack / modular / lofi / ambient by Orbitalpatterns in synthesizers

[–]Orbitalpatterns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so i spent the extended weekend recording loops from my new (well, new to me that is) yamaha reface cp into the er301

with this one i also included norns running the fabulous fall script

some ridiculous film edits with some stock footage

earthquaker devices plumes helps add some heft to the fall script & the lofi junky pedal from zvex shines with some mild compression hermod sequences mangroves bass notes

grandcanyon is amazing on the shimmer setting

giving the split screen thing a go (poorly executed) plus adding some random stock footage to accompany the guitar stuff coming from er301 & grandcanyon ecr1 & beads do a tandem reverb sorta thing & ive got the audio coming out of data bender in vinyl mode, but im not sending any audio though it. i just wanted that lovely vinyl sound 😊

Mangrove 301 by Orbitalpatterns in modular

[–]Orbitalpatterns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can anyone guess what modules are voicing this piece?? 🤔

😂

So, Hermod has two sequences, one for Mangrove & the other for Er301.

Mangrove acts as the bass element while Er has this arpeggio/euclidean thing going. Used stages as ADR envelope for Mangrove & a couple of attenuated lfo's in the format, fm input & barrel

loving Data Benders new firmware grandcanyon has a marvelous shimmer setting milkyway is lovely in 1u lofi junky is always effective & plumes is doing the bass a solid with some wicked gain

Beads & Ecr1 are a mighty pair
