Ode To Once

[mosc]

Here's something I was fooling around with. It's called Ode To Once WRT to The Once Festivals.

My work is really just slot A. I put three factory patches in Slots B-D for the voices. Feel free to change the voices in those slots to make different trios. Peter Schickele did a program on trios once. He said it was the most common form. Almost everything I write is a trio. I discovered that when I bought my first 8 track recorder and realized I didn't need all those tracks.

Solt A has three note generators that use seveal LFO-A modules to generate the notes, velocity and the varations. By changing the waveforms of the LFOs you can different sounding music. Use square waves for the note times and you'll get much more beat oriented sounds.

This performance has a defect. Sometimes the variations will change when there is a note playing and this generates a click or pop. I like this actually. It gives the feeling of listenting to a vintage recording - but it doesn't have all of the crappy sound. Maybe that's a rationalization. I didn't want to edit any of the voice patches because that would miss the point of using factory presets.

At any rate, this reflects the mood I'm in at the moment.

Enjoy...

Great noodle!

Thanks...

Here's another version. This time I'm using some of my own patches.

The slot A part is much improved now.

I've added an 8 bit back/forth sequencer that is switch selectable with a oscillator. There is a random trigger module to thin the clocks if desired. You can now use the master clock for any or all of the note engines, so you can sync the slots - boring but good to do in beat oriented stuff.

Most importantly, the controls are assigned to the G2 knobs so you can adjust the parameters of slot A in real time, suitable for live performance. I like interactive noodles.

The variation changes can be made to be automatic or manual for any or all slots too.

I use 8 step sequencers because they are more easily controlled on the G2's 8 knobs. There are controls for manual up/down and automatic control.

This noodle makes some really amazing sounds if you give it a long time. The repeat cycle most probably is very long.

This is pretty music on the noisy side of life.

This is great, good range of sounds. I'm not seeing any of the knobs assigned for some reason.

Only the last one I posted has knobs assigned.

Getting ready for the noodle radio I see that there are a couple of versions of this that haven't been posted. Here they are:

contained an embedded rover link (link removed) which led to ebay site about 'pot noodles' (OT). Very funny mate, however we have you rumbled!

Your dry, po-faced thread needed livening up!

You can hardly whinge about the rover link when you use affiliate links yourselves.

Oh no! I've dared to be controversial.
No doubt big brother will drag me off to room 101.. (Checks private messages... yup, there it is: "This is how it will be"... blah blah, from elektro80.. anyone else want to have a go? BlueHell, maybe?)

Go on then, ban me for daring to post messages with pictures in them, having a large sig, not wearing a beard, OR sandals.

I'd rather have that than become one of your conformist drones.

Ode to once twice ... a 15 min (21 MB) collage of the patches posted above. I took some liberties in sound treatment.

Wow Jan! That's awesome!!

I gotta get me a G2 sometime soon

[blue hell]

Thank Howard

And yes, you should have a G2.
