Starting a new series today, with the goal of creating compact and relatively lightweight 4-voice generative or aleatoric patches in VCV Rack.

This first attempt consists of chords, bass, lead and arp as voices. All notes are generated from a Circle of Fifth module (Fifths & Fourths by Amalgamated Harmonics).

For chord assembly, notes are fed into Shift Register (ML). The chord is then sent to Arp (Hampton Harmonics), and for the lead also into a second Shift Register (ML), which is sequenced backwards and played using irregular gates from uGraph (Valley).

Together, the 4 voices form a drifting, continuously changing soundscape that is slow yet migrant in rhythm and tone. Modulation of timbre and panning adds to the wandering. Scale is C phrygian.
