Sometimes you just can't beat a single oscillator arpeggiator. In this case, the Intelijel Dixie II oscillator, patterned after the oscillator in the venerable Roland SH-101, forms the core of the title-referenced ominous arpeggiation and lays a groundwork for some swishy, slashy pink noise sound design as the song progresses. Here I'm feeding a healthy amount of the Maleko pink noise generator into the Make Noise Erbeverb and both automating the decay and size parameter (via the everpresent Maths) and manually riding the frequency cut off on the blasted-into-distortion WMD filter. The panning effects I'm actually acomplishing within the modular itself via the Miiiix ... which is a rad little four channel mixer with both vca control over the gain of each channel and CV control over panning.
Winning.
This patch is a good example of why having both a dedicated "writing" interface (in my case the Push 2 controlling an apegiator in Ableton that's sending control voltage to the modular for more traditional writing elements)) ... and a clocked free form modulation pattern on the modular itself. I end up wth a combination of composed melody/structure while staying outside the box in my sound design courtesy the ever ticking modular noise insanity staying slaved.
Right vs left brain. I'll have both brains, thank you.
