Allegory

Delving back into dark rhythm-drone territory here. The basic structure is 3 outboard synths cross patched with the modular, each using a separate timing pulse. The trigger for the MS-20 Mini is a square LFO that is run through a filter before feeding the MS-20's VCA input. Adding resonance to that square wave provides an amazing amount of tonal variation. An Oberheim SEM, Moog Voyager Old School, and MacBeth MK1 Modular provide the rest of the sound. Everything is performed/sequenced live. All synths and FX are analog and CV controlled. Annotated to provide a bit of info. Details: - A Synthetic Sound Labs 1250 Quad LFO is the main clock source. This feeds a Moon M554 Clock Divider and M569 Sequencer. - The MS-20's VCA trigger LFO is run through an STG Post-Lawsuit Lowpass Filter. The HP and LP filters are modulated by separate external LFO's. - The Voyager's OSC2 is synched to OSC1 and modulated by the S&H LFO for the occasional "glitch" sound. Also run through an MF-104Z analog delay. - MacBeth MK1 modules run through Q115 Spring Reverb. - Live mixed using 2 Alesis Multimix 8 Line mixers. - Recorded straight into Digital Performer using a MOTU 828 MK3 audio interface. Mastered with iZotope Ozone. - Shot in HD with a Canon Rebel t4i. Edited in iMovie.
