The output was being played slowly then processed using the “Choral” mode, creating the slow shimmer swells. The harmonic slow swells that come in at 3:30 where created using another intellijel Dixie oscillator sine output running into an Strymon “Big Sky” pedal being harmonically controlled by an intellijel µScale V1. There was additional processing of the Clouds output that was sent into the Tiptop ZDSP module running the “Halls of Vahalla” card program 8 “Ginnungagap” creating the high pitch octave deep reverb shimmer effects. The “Rings” module was creating slow attack soft high pitched chords in reverb that come around 2:50.

The bass guitar tone sound that comes in at 1:24 are from the MakeNoise Mysteron, that is being sequenced by the Modcan Touch Sequencer, Row Output 3 was programmed in the same key but a lower octave. The combination of the two created the trill chord like strums. The freeze input was also triggered by a Ladik R-110 Random clock module. The strum sounds on Clouds was played by the 4ms QCD running in 32th division output into the Trigger input. The Make Noise Rene was being externally clocked from the Circadian Rhythm, and was sending out a quantized output to the Mutable Instruments Clouds pitch input creating the chord guitar sequence. The sample was a white noise sampled lightly filtered and then sent to the intellijel HexVCA with the amplitude CV control via a Intellijel Dixie modulating from slow to high rates (free running). The slowly evolving sweeping noise textures that come in at 1:09 is from the Music Thing Radio Music module. This was creating the harmonic timbre changing as the sequence was playing. The 2, 3 and 4 outputs from the E102 where also modulating the Operator 2, 3, and 4 inputs on the Akemie’s Castle. Now, with two trips under my belt, I’d like nothing.

After that first trip I knew I had to come back to the Sustut, and made the necessary arrangements for fall of 2017 as soon as I was able. Modulation from the synthesis technology E102 Quad Temporal Shifter output 1 modulating the Multiplier input on Operator 1. Two seasons ago, in October 2016, I had the opportunity to host a group of anglers for a week on the legendary Sustut River, one of the uppermost, and perhaps the most remote of the Skeena tributaries. The gates from the modcan where set to a 16th’s pulse sequence. The second sequence Row2 output from the TS was sent to the “ALM Akemie’s Castle” module OSC A output using the chord function, that comes in at 25 seconds.

The master clock was the Tiptop Circadian Rhythms module, taking the first 4 outputs into my Nord Drum 2 for the Kick, snare, closed and open hi-hats.įrom there the clock output from the CR was multiplied and then sent to the Modcan Touch Sequencer.įirst row output from the TS was sent to the intellijel Shapeshifter creating a two note baseline sequence that comes in at 1:58. The inspiration came from playing around with the Clouds Parasites 1.3 alternate firmware running in the Resonator mode highlighting the “scatter” (or strum) function.
#BIG SKY VALHALLA SHIMMER PATCH#
This was a patch experiment using the new Mutable Instruments Rings/Clouds Modules, and trying to create strumming/plucking guitar like sounds within a patch. The performance is based around a ‘really lush beautiful modular patch, that is made to sound like strumming guitars,’ notes Devine. Synthesist Richard Devine shared his latest modular performance video with us, Strum.

Triple Shimmer: Two pitch shifted voices embedded in the reverb decay network, plus a third voice external to the network.Dual Shimmer: Two pitch shifted voices, embedded in a larger modulated reverb network, shifting the reverb decay in both positive and negative directions.Slow Shimmer: Similar to Fast Shimmer, but with a much slower attack.Fast Shimmer: A modulated reverb that quickly decays into endless pitch shifting tail.This card is perfect for adding some diverse, rich reverb to any electronic track. Made by the masters of digital reverb Valhalla DSP, this card features 8 completely original algorithms made to combine luscious reverbs with multiple voices of pitch shifting for a myriad of options ranging from standard room reverbs all the way to drenched alien landscapes and etherial ghostlike clouds of drippiness. The Valhalla Shimmer card is a versatile reverb DSP card designed specifically for the Tiptop Audio ZDSP module. We are still open and shipping orders during the Covid epidemic.
