303 acid mix - Eurorack & Buchla

Second patch for Carriageworks gig.


...


The 4MS Matrix mixer - a wonderful module.

The NonLinearCircuits ADSR312 - It's a envelope generator based on a Aries design 

The Intellijel Metropolis sequencer -- what's there not to love about this great machine.

Can't get enough of this 303

Acid waves - 4Seq remix

A remix using the Metropolis (Intellijel) & 4seq (NLC).

 The VCOs used were a VC303 (for the acid baseline) and a Piston Honda (The Harvestman)

4seq - Piston Honda & VC 303

The nonlinearcircuits 4SEQ is a 4 stage sequencer with a forwards/backwards control (the u/d or up-down jack) allowing the development of quite complex sequences and patterns.


There are two CV outputs that are the reverse of each other. Eg if outX is counting 1,2,3,4 then outY counts 4,3,2,1. There are also gate outputs that are /2, /4, /8 & /16 divisions of the clock signal.
I'm not sure if you can buy the 4seq fully made. I built mine from PCB. The build notes are here.

The piston honda is a wavetable oscillator. It has 2 ROMs , each with 256 waveforms.
 I'm using the 4SEQ to morph through the wavetables. It's all clocked to the intellijel metropolis.

The tip tip drums are also clocked to the metropolis.


The acid sequences are Metropolis - VC.303bass synth

Intellijel Metropolis meets 303

 The Metropolis Sequencer is uber cool. Inspired by the Ryk M-185 (a Roland System 100m sequencer)
Each stage has slides and a pulse count in the range 1-8. It should provide very interesting results.


The Luna Modular VC 303 bass synth is according to the manufacturer (Somatic Circuits) an exact clone
of the TB 303 minus the sequencer.
I don't think it sounds exactly like a 303 (due probably to the same rare componentry issues x0xb0x and other 303 cloners owners face), but I still reckon it sounds great, especially the filter. It's very flexible and anyway, do we really want another 303 clone??? I think it's better if each manufacturer finds a way to add their own new flavours to that acid bass line we all love.

The nice thing about the VC 303 is that you can plug external oscillators in or use a different filter.

The Doepfer A-143-2 Quad ADSR is a useful addition for the metropolis, as is a LFO (Doepfer A-145)

Paired with the Intellijel Metropolis there are so many possibilities.
