VCV Rack #35: Deep water path

In this video I decided to use my ugly voice with my cheap microphone. I like background noises in music, and I think you can do very cool noises with your own voice. With a lot of reverb you don’t hear the bad quality of the recording and if you let it play slow, backwards and take only modulated fragmants with support of Texture Synthesizer you even don’t notice, that it is always the same spoken text. :)
Because of the calm recording of my mic, I added a compressor, usually you don’t need that. Feel free to use your own voice recording, I’m sure it can’t get any worse than my own. If the frequency of the voice is very slow, together with the reverb it sounds a bit like being under water. For the feeling of beeing under water I also added another sound that makes echos (Deep Water Echos), just like a ping of a submarine but softer and with a random alternation between short an long noises.
The rest of the video are some experiments to produce sequences. I noticed, that you can use a simple LFO and Quantizer to make jumps between notes, or even use a clock signal with a VCA to jump between notes, just like I do with Quantovnik in the Fagott sequence and the Bass sound.
