about

Week 25: Orchestra reduced (slightly).

* Tangible Waves AE Modular starter kit 2

Definitely an experiment this week. No live sounds, all purely generated from multiple patches in the AE Modular. Synth sequencing was done in Logic, percussion sequencing all within the AE Modular.

I recorded each track in a single pass (so I didn't actually know what it was going to end up like until audio was recorded and patches remade).

Things I learned today:
* Logic allows you to record a stereo track and then select whether to use the left or right track — all parts have a 'dry' channel and a 'wet' channel (through the lofi DELAY module)
* Used the pattern editor in logic for the first time — some interesting features there
* Found out how to snap automation to regions (mute/unmute the effects channel on the 'snare/clap' sound
* Discovered how the 'repeat' function works on the TRIQ164 module. Very cool.
* Used voltage control to modify decay of envelope for the hi-hat type sounds — using another channel of the TRIQ164 module.
* Discovered the 'rate' control of the NOISE module :)
