a semi-modular (kind of) named Best Friend taking some light inspiration from the Sequential P6, completely built with free modules.
(soundcloud recordings all made using the internal clip recorder in a single take)
features include:
– 3 VCOs, completely clean below 25% volume and begin to distort past 50% volume
– – 2 morphing VCOs using Audible Instruments Macro Oscillator 2
– – 1 standard VCO with selectable waveshapes using BogAudio VCO
– – Distortion using Vult Lateralus diode ladder filter (set flat)
– – Pan Spread of Osc 1 + 2 using Mockba ASSprdr – each OSC is opposite the other and moves inversely in the stereo field. Pan Unison syncs them.
– Noise Generator using MSM Noise
– Ring Modulator using BogAudio VCO + BogAudio AM/RM
– – selectable carrier (Osc 1/2/3)
– – selectable modulator (“Internal VCO” or external source)
– – lfo to audio rates
– – distortion using Mockba Tuube
– Amplitude EG using VCV ADSR EG
– Filter EG using VCV ADSR EG with assignable velocity per filter
– HPF using Venom Multimode Filter
– LPF using Nozoid 68_VCF_MOD
Semi-Modular section:
– 2 Aux LFOs using BogAudio VCO
– 2 Aux EGs using BogAudio DADSR(H) – each routed to the Aux LFOs (Aux EG 1-> Aux LFO 1, Aux EG 2-> Aux LFO 2) – [visualizers]
– 2 identical bays of Aux Ins with Depth Controls
– 1 bay of Aux Outs
– 1 bay of miscellaneous Aux Ins
Poly Pan:
this is a complex panning section that overrides Pan Spread, applied to Osc 1+2 (with Osc 3 being selectable)
– switchable between Sine using 3 BogAudio 8FOs and Random using 3 docB RndC
– LFO Sync switches between one 8FO as the master control or each of the 3 8FOs running independently with frequency offsets set by the VoiceSpread control (8FO 1 to Osc 1, 8FO 2 to Osc 2, 8FO 3 to Osc 3)
– Sync Voices switches between panning per voice or panning per Oscillator
Poly AM: [visualizer]
similar to Poly Pan but utilizing banks of random sinewaves using docB RndC controlling VCAs for slow amplitude modulation. Poly pan on/off must be turned on to activate Poly AM (although Poly Pan Depth may be zero of course)
– Sync Voices switches between AM per voice or “global” (Osc 1+2 and 3 if selected)
Global controls:
– 2 Distortion stages (both stereo)
– – (pre-filters) summing using a pair of Vult Lateralus diode ladder filter (set flat)
– – (post-filters) using Vult Debriatus wave destruction
– Chorus using Vult Jorus analog chorus
– Limiter using BogAudio LMTR
– FM using BogAudio LLFO + BogAudio DADSR(H) for delay – [visualizer]
– Warble (from Noise)
– separate sutble Slop controls for V/Oct, EG/VCF and LFOs using 3 docB RndC + Grande Split8
– Glide controls
– – Unison switches between polyphonic and monophonic key control
– simple audio clip recorder using VCV record
Effects Send/Return using 4ms AuxSends:
– Delay using Bastl Basil
– Spring reverb using a stereo pair of Befaco Spring Reverb + Bacon Music SampleDelay for stereo width
– Reverb using Valley Plateau
– Sidechain compression of effects using Frozen Wasteland Manic Compression
notes:
other additions – mod wheel! (how could i forget that?), MIDI map (already added since writing all of this but it isn’t shown in the screenshot)
to initialize poly/mono in MIDI->CV, set both of them to your MIDI device!
here’s a full view of the patch btw
