[ youtube jam - download patch ]
Pretty simple patch, but I love the vibe. It reminds me of my childhood in the countryside - something dreamy and peaceful, a time when problems didn’t exist yet. Call it nostalgia, but there was something really special about this pure perception of the world and things around you. It felt like home everywhere; everything felt endlessly deep and meaningful. Nowadays, whenever you try to catch this feeling, it slips away even further. Maybe the only solution is to stop trying, but this absence of connection to the world haunts me all the time.
Anyway, here are some patch notes:
- Overall, it’s very similar to the previous one - Marbles generates 3 CV sequences, which are merged by MS4 and go to Plaits. These chords are triggered by Re-Burst, which is triggered by one of Marbles’ trigger outputs.
- A copy of the chords goes through Dual Dynamics Gate (envelope mode) into Rings.
- Stages generates a 6-step CV sequence, which modulates Rings (structure). You can try removing the green cable from Rings to see how the sequence changes.
- Also, the same sequence from Stages triggers the sample and hold input and creates a lead melody sequence from pink noise.
- Main structural changes are done manually - changing Rings’ frequency between 24, 29, and 36 values.
- There is a delay at the end of the chain - it is used to create some space in the mix (small different latency for left and right channels).
