      It's sooooo good at crazy and intense metallic type sounds, and surprisingly nice for stuff like this. It's my first semi-modular piece of gear (unless you count the Volca FM and its algorithms), and I love it.

      @@stochasticstep great sound your getting out of this unit! Would you say it is good for these sounds as people mostly make harsh aggressive sounds out of it? And if so, what do the patches look like for something more ambient?
      Great stuff!

    • @stochasticstep
      @stochasticstep  4 роки тому +4

      Hi. Thanks. I will say that the "natural sound" from the vm is kind of harsh. It's a great ambient machine. Lots of modulation possibilities. I like to pair it up with some external effects to shape the sound into more soft terrain.

    I bought one recently and it's a nice instrument, i'm doing very well at making drone/harsh noise and kinda saxophone/clarinet-like jazz sounds and 70s sci-fi noises which is cool, i'm in an experimental band and that suits our music, but I'm looking into how to make ambient soundscapes like this. It's my first modular/analog synth, i bought it because of videos like yours and Ann Annie.

    • @stochasticstep
      @stochasticstep  4 роки тому +2

      Hi! I agree it's a great machine for sci-fi noise and experimental stuff. For ambient I recommend that you pair it with external effects. Delay and a lot of reverb helps with the sound-shaping. Also thank you for the kind words :)

      Hi! I'm glad you like it.
      In this piece I chained a lot of patterns. The patterns are treated with different modes on the sequencer to create some interesting melodies and randomness. I use function two as a lfo and together with woggle it modulates the tempo as well as attac/release.
      The effects (reverb and stereo delay) is really doing a lot to shape the sound. Looking back I should have used an eq on the reverb to filter out the muddyness in the low end, but it is what it is. :)
