Time Lag Accumulation Patch
This patch was inspired by studying early electronic music pioneers such as Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram. Before true, integrated synthesizers were a thing, these composers recorded found sounds onto reel-to-reel tape machines, sped them up, slowed them down, reversed them, cut together pieces of tape and created vast tape delay and echo effects. Some describe super long delay times being created by creating super long tape loops that ran clear down a hallway from one machine to another!! Nowadays, we can use any outboard, plugin or delay module and set the time for between 7 and 10 seconds to get a similar effect. The idea is to play some notes, or feed any other sound into the delay, then listen as the echos interact with new sounds that you are adding. It's similar to what people now do with looper pedals, except more is left to chance, and older sounds slowly fall off as the delay feedback pitters out. I had a BLAST playing with this patch and turned it into a nearly half-hour stream fo r@EarthModularSociety I edited this down to a shorter version for my own channelbecause people likely wouldn't listen to the end. The patch has four voices. A wavetable oscillator has velocity modulating the wavetable position so that a different waveform can be had with a stronger touch. The Bifaco Noise Plethora and @surge-synthesizer-team twist oscillator in speech mode are each gated by a key in the last octave. All three of these are run through delays with times just over seven seconds. Finally, an LFO pings the @CosineKitty Elastika resonator. Together they make for an interesting soundscape to listen to. After the mixer, it all runs through a Valley Plateau reverb.
