No sequencers were harmed , or in fact used at all in this short piece of ‘irritainment’ the patch diagram is what was used for the rhythm track, direct into a sony M10 recorder. this patch was doing NOTHING special until I took the totally counter intuitive move of patching the Delay Wet output into the ÷ 128 OUTPUT of the Divider module!? then it all started kicking up a fuss :)
I took a 3 minute part of aprox 15 mins of playing with this patch as a rhythm bed put it in Cubasis on the ipad and played over it utilizing a patch I had made, originally for the 4 module challenge on the Ae forum where the restriction was to make a piece patching only 4 of the ae ‘s modules, in this case I added the multi FX module to ‘soften the blow’ making it 5 modules and smoothing (marginally) the nasty edges of it’s circuit bent type sound, there wasn’t a socket on those 4 modules that didn’t have a patch wire in it :) which is why i haven’t included a diagram , it was simply TOO annoying to draw! .. then I simply erased the bits i was unhappy with on the overlayed sounds which had the added benefit of allowing more of the rhythm track to shine through ( ‘poke’ through might be a more appropriate term? ). that was it apart from a lot of eq and compression to make it sound a bit less Vegan.
