The Cry Of The Modular Synth

Hello All,

I was playing around lately with a few modules when my modular synth was crying out loud... I tried to capture that sound here:

It exists of two voices, one voice is that crying kind of sound, main module behind that is the E330 - Multimode VCO from Synthesis Technology driven by the ACL - Sinfonion by the way. The second voice that is, indirectly, strongly driven by an LFO is the polyphonic Doepfer - A-111-4 Quad VCO module using the A-105-4 Quad Poly SSI VCF module (nice filter by the way) and A-132-8 VCA module too.

The track exists of two parts. Starting with Part A, the "original or classic" version how I discovered the sound with a mild touch of reverb and directly followed by Part B a stronger use of the Ventris pedal (by Source Audio) using both DSPs (Part A only used one DSP) adding some echo, and here and there using a frozen reverb too.

Not sure if it's a drone, still, to make sure to fulfil the new requirement, by holding here and there a bit longer the frozen reverb button I managed to just go over the 17 minutes ;-)

Thank you very much for listening and kind regards, Garfield.

That's a cool sound, Garfield. This kind of reminds me of a raga or maybe an Arabic scale.
I love discovering new sounds like this!

Very very nice ! Loads of cool moments there, really loving the sound that you are playing with at 5:30, I think it's the same that sort of "cries" at 6:40, seems well behaved but sometimes goes over the edge in a noisy kind of way, genius ! Is that the E330 ?

Anyway thanks for sharing and keeping us inspired ;-)

Hi Farkas and Toodee,

Thanks a lot for listening :-)

Farkas: Though I didn't configure it as such, with the Sinfonion you can do indeed lots of different scales.

Toodee: Indeed, that cry kind of sound is done with the E330 - Multimode VCO from Synthesis Technology, lovely fun module. The "total" sound ends up with these two voices (E330 that cry sound and then that repetitive LFO sound is done with the quad VCO from Doepfer, the A-111-4) into the Warps of Mutable Instruments. I actually was testing and playing around a bit with Warps when these kind of sounds happen to appear :-)

Have fun with modular and kind regards, Garfield.

I like this! :-)

Thank you Defragmenteur :-)
