Sometimes you just can't beat a single oscillator arpeggiator. In this case, the Intelijel Dixie II oscillator, patterned after the oscillator in the venerable Roland SH-101, forms the core of the title-referenced ominous arpeggiation and lays a groundwork for some swishy, slashy pink noise sound design as the song progresses. Here I'm feeding a healthy amount of the Maleko pink noise generator into the Make Noise Erbeverb and both automating the decay and size parameter (via the everpresent Maths) and manually riding the frequency cut off on the blasted-into-distortion WMD filter. The panning effects I'm actually acomplishing within the modular itself via the Miiiix ... which is a rad little four channel mixer with both vca control over the gain of each channel and CV control over panning.
Winning.
This patch is a good example of why having both a dedicated "writing" interface (in my case the Push 2 controlling an apegiator in Ableton that's sending control voltage to the modular for more traditional writing elements)) ... and a clocked free form modulation pattern on the modular itself. I end up wth a combination of composed melody/structure while staying outside the box in my sound design courtesy the ever ticking modular noise insanity staying slaved.
Right vs left brain. I'll have both brains, thank you.

Great work! The first exposure I had to the 101 technology was an MC202 and I thought it was a joke. I changed my mind after about an hour of using it!

I have complete and total sellers remorse that I offloaded my 202 years ago. The intelijel stuff really does scratch the itch though.

This is a really cool piece - I'm big into vintage synth sounds (Zombi's one of my favorite bands) and it definitely has that vintage, yet timeless feel.
I really like the melodies (especially when they interact), the delay swells in the background add great texture, and the beat is on point. My only qualm is that it ends a little abruptly, but that's probably just personal preference - I'm into fade outs (or at least longer ring outs).
I've got an interest in modular, but I'm still in guitar pedal mode (which has gone on for the last 20+ years). Thanks for the recommendations in your comment - some research is in order. For now, I guess I can keep running my DX7 through guitar pedals - perhaps not especially kosher, but it seems to work.
Can't wait to hear more of the EP!

Super fun track with some wicked sounds, i hate when I hear things that make me miss my 101 though haha C'est la vie !! Haven't heard of the Miiiix, ive been looking into a different mixer for my euro and will check into that one.

Is that a feed back loop on a delay you are using as well?

Good catch. A bunch of the pulsing at the top is using an envelope to open and vibrato an endless delay trail version of the first note. The echophon by make noise is not the go to for clean sixteenth delay but for this sorta memory man with cv modulation kinda stuff it RIPS.

Very cool and tastefully done, I like using harmonized and slightly detuned feed back loops. We are taking the leap into modular soon, any recommendations? Have an upvote :-]

Why thank you.
Modular world is not unlike guitar pedal world. Although I can recommend my favorites (marshal guvnor! EQD Hood!) ... I can make a much more informed recommendation if you give me some guidelines as to what you want to use it for. Monosynth with filter? Drum machine on steroids? Stereo sound processing world? Point me in a direction.

Monosynth with filter, maybe something with more than one VCO but a tasty filter is a must.

Ok. That does however put you down the wormhole for all the components of a single voice (IE an oscillator, envelope generator, vca, filter and input/output module. Do you have a ballpark budget? There are all in one solutions like the makenoise 0-coast and moog mother32 that are great starting points and come with an all in one version of these core modules and is still patchable to additional eurorack stuff you add later.
Tasty filter comes in so very many forms and prices. For my money the synthesis technologies e440 is the goddamn greatest version of the filter in the prophet 5, including the original, and gets aggressive enough to make it MVP most versitile player in my rack. For what it's worth. I also LOVE the SEM filter Dopher makes (the original is only in the SEM itself).

The best tip I can give you is forget about spammy networking that works enmasse on the internet. Steemit is about legit interpersonal connection. I don’t care that your post had nothing to do with my post and that you embedded your own work on my post. Everybody including myself coming from Internet general public makes a ton of these sorta rookie mistakes. As such here is my genuine and legitimately useful tip to you:
Learn to comment concisely and effectively in a way that makes the poster feel like you legitimately enjoyed their post. If you approach it by listening to ten seconds of somebody’s track and saying whatever you can as quickly as you can to try and spam out a following, it’s incredibly obvious. I only regularly comment and upvote maybe 20-30 people on here but every one of them im genuinely interested in their content and check out what they are putting out there as part of my day. These 20 or 30 contacts are a) awesome people that make me happy to be here b) more worthwhile than any 100 followers Id get embedding my own content in other people’s comment section.
Basically, be extra generous and put the time into finding people on here that you will -enjoy- reading/listening to and you will be amazed how many people go check out -your- contribution. With a pro-community attitude steemit can become a place you are -pumped- to post more content to while being equally- excited to toss a round of upvotes out for your favorite steemit peeps.
As far as your video itself, your voice sounds good.
The guitar however ....
Getchu one.
