My submission for the Hardware Jams “Sub 100/Over 200” Weekend Challenge.
This jam is made entirely from one beat.
I put together a feedback patch that needed some initial audio to start the feedback cycle. That input was one big kick drum. The main part of the feedback cycle is based around my spring reverb with various branches going through a couple of filters a phaser and a delay. There is lots of subtle (and not so subtle) modulation being provided by some standard lfos and a chaotic lfo these all add to the interesting textures and frequencies in this soundscape. It’s amazing what you can get from one kick drum :-)
To make sure I was definitely within the challenge rules the delay/echo was set at around 60bpm which gives a lot of the rhythm to the drone.
This week’s challenge prompt:
This week's challenge, we want to hear your jams with your kit set to under 100bpm or over 200bpm. Simple.
Always Learning
════════════
I'm a strong believer in continuous improvement and always trying to learn something new. This week I experimented more with patching feedback on the modular.
My DIY Eurorack Synth Rules
══════════════
I aim to meet the following criteria when adding modules to my synth:
◦ I must have constructed it.
This can be a kit or from scratch but I must have soldered it
◦ The audio signal path should be analog.
I'm trying to avoid digital modules so I can learn more about analog electronics
◦ Learn something new
Try to learn something while constructing the module. Learn about the circuits, experiment with different signal processing options. Be creative.
◦ Have fun
