Strange Multiplication: Sequence Contraction and Sequence Sequencing

Allen Strange wrote the book on modular synthesizers in the 1970s. Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls. Unfortunately since the expanded 1982 edition, it has never been reprinted, and in today’s landscape where more people have access to modular synths than ever before, very few have access to the knowledge contained within. This video series will explore patches both basic and advanced from Strange’s text. Even the simplest patches here yield kernels of knowledge that can be expanded upon in infinite ways. I have been heavily influenced by Strange since long before I became a modular synth educator. Please share this knowledge far and wide. This video shows the use of a VCA for things other than audio amplitude: automating the amplitude of a sequence ("sequence sequencing", and also automating the amplitude and frequency of a simultaneous pulse stream. http://www.makenoisemusic.com
