After the smashing success of the IgnigNOT patch posted just 24 hours ago…

I decided the patch needed a supporting drone to really make the 4-note keyboard work. So, here we go.

What is it – A drone & a 4 note keyboard. The keyboard can be modulated by a random LFO, but is also quantized so notes stay in key. There are 4 drone notes available. There are some “key” controls as well.

Let’s go through this from bottom to top on PAGE 0.

1. Blue mouth buttons are 4 keys. This is the melodic keyboard. Feel free to tune these to whatever you want. Their output goes to a quantizer with a key selection.

2. The 4 “faded” green keys above the mouth keys are the drone-keys. 4 notes to select from. Tune as you like.

3. Left blue eye is linked to the blue keys and alters the notes on the melodic keyboard up/down. A0 is no effect. Don’t forget the keyboard output is quantized, so semitone changes my not yield results.

4. Right blue eye controls the VCF of the melodic keyboard’s oscillator.

5. Using the letters on the Zoia, pixel K (one above the left eye) is a switch for a random LFO which will modulate the blue melodic keyboard. Turning it off resets the blue keyboard. Letting it run will sometimes yield pitch shifts while holding a key. There is a slew limiter, so you’ll get some glide.

6. Using the letters on the Zoia, pixel N (one above the right eye) is an adjustment which will shift the blue melodic keyboard and green drone-keys in semitones. You might want to adjust the quantizer module on the next page to keep to a specific key. Or you might not care.

7. Using the letters on the Zoia, pixel C (left ear) sets the drone volume. Pixel G (right ear) controls the drone cutoff freq.

Blue and lime ones are connected to the melodic synth.
Peach (trem) is the drone synth.
Purple is Reverb on all sounds.

PREVIEW –
The link included shows the patch in use around 34:20. There are other sounds going on, so it will be a little hard to identify. If you have downloaded the patch, you’ll recognize the sound. Otherwise, the pitch-glide synth sound is the melodic keyboard, and the drone sound is hiding in the back, and also going though a reverb send farther down the chain.
