Filthmas

Just a bit of traditional Xmas techno, with filthy basslines, driving beats and weird wonky percussion. Bassline: M32 plus AFG Alien Saws and Sawtooth suboctave, run through Roland Demora for feedback delay and Optodist for hard clipping. Doepfer A189-1 Theremin controller controls the Gain CV for emphasis. Weird percussion: SSF Entity Percussion sequenced by self-patched Pittsburgh Game System, with Noise Engineering Mimetic Digitalis sequencing pitch, delay and harmonics. Run through a Verbos Multidelay for very short delay, reverb and feedback. Hi-hats: Mutant Hi-hats through Xaoc Devices Belgrad and Kamieniec for a super-phaser effect. Snare/clap: DS-M triggered by a short function envelope, then run through Erbe Verb with modulated size. Kick: Dixie II triangle wave through a VCA, with separate Descent envelopes for pitch and amplitude, run through a Serge Resonant EQ to emphasise the click as well as the deep bass. All percussion mixed through an Doepfer A138m matrix mixer into L-1 Stereo Compressor for added punch and glue. Various generative rhythms from Pittsburgh Game System, Klasmata, Branches, Verbos Voltage Multistage and Doepfer clock dividers and logic.
