Another patch including pretty much every noisemaker in the case(s). Ornament and Crime is put back to work.

All the King’s Men : Patch Notes
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

In rough order of appearance…

All timing and most modulation driven by Qu-Bit Chance. One hell of a module!

SynthTech E350 & E440 drone with E350 wavetable selection and E440 FM1 modulated by Qu-Bit Chance Discrete random output. E440 4-pole output routed back to E350 FM input (mostly attenuated). E440 2-pole output to Clouds #1 in delay mode.

Telharmonic drone with Centroid modulated by Chance Smooth random output. Telharmonic interval is a fixed 5th. No effects.

Drums: a Peaks channel for bass drum triggered by /4 of RCD, but syncopated by WMD Tool-Box sequential switch on /5. Second part is TipTop one on a percussive sample triggered by Chance’s Rhythm output, with the pitch of the sample modulated by Qu-Bit Chance Discrete random. The two are submixed and sent to a 1U Intellijel Digitank reverb-ish thing.

Melodic sequence panned somewhat left is 4ms SMR driven by Rings odd output and with RES(Q) most of the way down. Direct to final mix.

Related melodic sequence #1 panned somewhat right is Rings in green/green mode with modulation of Brightness and Damping from Chance’s Blend output. V/Oct from O&C Quadraturia mode, Dorian scale. O&C modulated by Chance’s Wavetable output. Rings output to Warps. Warps manually switched between cross pan, bit crush, and ring mod modes. Algo and Timbre modulated by Chance Smooth output, and Batumi saw wave, respectively. These CVs are attenuated by Quadratt. Warps output to Streams in compressor mode, and on to 2hp Delay and Verb, then to final mix.

Melodic sequence #2 is Tides in normal oscillator mode with V/Oct driven by second channel of O&C, also in Dorian mode. Tides built-in VCA (Level) and Shape modulated by MN Function AD envelope. Decay modulated by Batumi saw mode. Tides output in to Clouds #2 also in delay mode. 2/3 of the way through, I enable FM on Tides from the Aux output of Warps.

Throughout I’m just playing with attenuators, Warps Algo knob, and O&C’s octave control to vary things up bit.
