Herbs and Stones 3 Stems
Just exploring the 3 Stems and getting a feel for it. 3 Stems allows you to manipulate 3 frequency bands of your input and apply filter, resonance and saturation to each one then mix them into a single output.
When turning the resonance up you create harmonics and tones (at 4:40)
The saturation can be extreme but it’s awesome to my ears 😀

Beats with Chaos synths. My new favourite thing. With detuned polyphonic pads to pull it all together.
The Peterlin is receiving CV from the Hikari Duos which gives it (some) predictably. The Monos is receiving clock from the Duos into the filter which keeps it in sync. The Behringer RD8 is stand alone with no clock or sync but it worked fine somehow. Lots of reverb on the RD8 to give it that nice dreamy feel. I’m just playing along on the Artium Swarm but there’s also a sampled ‘freeze’ chord that is giving a nice detuned drone under everything.

Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer
I started with a glitchy sequence in the shift registers of the Double Knot. I sent this into the Etherealizer which added delay and granular samples across 3 octaves. The beats were a pattern I created long ago in the RD8 that fitted nicely. The Swarm is on pad duties. A fair amount of detune widens the sound and I’m ‘playing’ the filter to soften and brighten the pad as I go.
At 2:50 I add a freeze sample on the Swarm to bring in a lower sustained pad. This builds the sound nicely when playing higher octave notes over the top.
The RD8 is sending clock directly to the Double Knot (trigger out to clock in) using 3.5mm jack. It’s great that the Double Knot has a basic clock in and out as well as CV.")
