Live Patching Piece with Strega
This was an improv I did for my album "Fine Lives".
I was stoked on how the feedback created these cool beat tones and noises.

VCA and Filter Tricks with Korg SQ-1 and Strega
Переглядів 777Рік тому
Setting up this patch was a little challenging, but fun: For me, tuning really made this thing work. To do that, I had the best luck by monitoring Strega's main oscillator and the function at audio rate (patched into the external sound input). Then I took the CV outputs* from SQ-1 and patched them into 1 volt/octave and function speed. Then I tuned each step by ear the best I could since "speed...
One Button Chain Reaction (15 State Sequence)
Переглядів 279Рік тому
As inspired by Todd Barton's single button press patch: ua-cam.com/video/i3XxRFPJkUg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ToddBarton The Rene sequencer has 3 channels, so you have 3 CV outputs and 3 gate outputs. I primarily used the CV and gate channels as "switches" for VCA's. You can save the settings of the 3 channels (3 CV channels and 3 gate channels) as a "state" on Rene. You can then store and sequenc...

    Really grateful when electronic gear musicians (gotta be a better way to say that, ha) on UA-cam keep returning to the same devices over many videos for focused performances. It’s really fun to take in the multiple takes. Maybe I’m missing it, but many times, I’m surprised to only see one or a few videos by a particular creator with a particular device focused on, especially when what’s created in those instances is often so interesting to watch. Anyhow, thanks for going about it this way, and doing it in such a quality way!

    That's wild! I still have to wrap my head around how the agitation function waveshape influences pitch. In this case the function is synced to the main osc triangle, so I guess the waveshape goes to different harmonics of the main voice?

    • @MatthewShapiroModular
