Sides - A composition for electronic instruments / Bastl THYME / ER-301 / Nerdseq
Bastl THYME is breaking the drums.
Patch notes: Nerdseq is sequencing and modulating Mangrove and three ER-301 single-cycle oscillator voices, as well as playing the drums that are passed through the THYME. The sequencer of the delay is making a really simple drum pattern sound intricate and at times agressive. ER-301 is mixing, adding effects, tying everything together and recording all the different stems of the performance that are mixed in post with some compression in Adobe Audition. No other audio processing has been done. The video is edited in Adobe After Effects.
Among other sounds, and the Analog Rytm, I'm using XOXO, the four operator flavor of a new and wonderful set of FM instruments for the ER-301, made by Joe. https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/xoxoxo-units

Three simple example use cases for an ER-301 preset suite called Wave Fader. They were conceived as wavetable synthesis voices but turned out to be more interesting.

I hope you are all enjoying some well deserved holidays. 2021 will be even better if you can believe it!
The tides of time keep us all rocking in the same waters. Stay wild and free like the frothy waves of the sea my friends.
Patch notes:
I'm sending notes from the handpan and my voice through Bastl THYME, used as a looper with feedback turned all the way up. Nerdseq is sequencing and modulating Mangrove and three ER-301 single-cycle oscillator voices. Furthermore the ER-301 is mixing, adding effects, tying everything together and recording all the different stems of the performance that are mixed in post with some compression in Adobe Audition. No other audio processing has been done. The video is edited in Adobe After Effects.

Join me in an exploration of glitchy drum loops with the Bastl THYME and the Elektron Model: Cycles. Disclaimer: this is not a tutorial, as the matter of fact I don't know what the heck it is.
