This piece from the Well Tempered Clavier is played here using just the Pulse 2 and the Accu-Spring setting on the Electro-Harmonix Cathedral. The Accu Spring is interesting because it leaves everything about 5KHz untouched and gives a bouncy sound to the lower frequencies. Here I have used pulse width modulation on the Pulse (shocking yes) and quite a bit of resonance which produces that bouncing '70s Synth' sound.
This is an interesting experiment to me - not really something I love, but a lot of fun. It is also the first successful (i.e. plays in tune) run of my new note mapping midi patch in Sonic Field which places notes on voices more intelligently than just 'round robin'. The algorithm attempts to place new notes on a quiet voice rather than on top of an existing sounding voice and leaves gaps between the notes but makes the gap choice shorter if the same note is sounded twice. This mimics the way a keyboard (like a harpsichord) works.
