#weekofpatching

Here's my second patch for #WeekOfPatching and #ModularTherapy. Today I'm doing eurorack stuff with some Buchla weirdness. Description of patch in the alt text. This system is a bit weird, as it's kind of an overflow case. I wanted to focus on fewer modules in a more performance oriented system. So my main system has most of my utility modules. And that's why this one has no VCA, except for the one built into the Befaco Percall. But such limitations are good for experimentation.

wrote a conclusion on my patch log for #weekOfPatching , and shared a few preview images of patches i didn't have time to fully document within the context of the challenge! https://palomakop.tv/notes/patch-log/#conclusions

I've got some not very fun stuff going on this week, so I decided that I had to force myself to do something fun to balance out the bad. So here's my first patch for #WeekOfPatching. It's a simple Bitwig Grid patch I threw together in 30 minutes. I wanted to do some percussive FM stuff to get me started.

Here's a screenshot of my first #WeekOfPatching patch, in case it doesn't show properly in the audio player. My attempt at an explanation is in the alt text.

I had other plans for day 3 of #WeekOfPatching, but not enough time. So just a quick VCVRack patch today. Not my most interesting work, but maybe it will work with something else when I edit everything together.

A bit of electronic noise for today's #WeekOfPatching patch. The patch is simple: I ran the Crazy Chicken Magnetic Microphone through Beads. Then moved the thing around. Putting it close to mains power makes for a nice 50Hz hum, putting it close to the Novation Launchpad makes harsh noise. The most interesting sounds comes from the Roland TR-8. It has several different tones depending on where the microphone is pointed. The last part of the recording is mostly from that.

My first day participating in #weekofpatching (day 2). I'm quite rusty so opted for something similar using vcv rack with the #monome grid sequencer, and an analog video synth for visuals. I filmed a whole 10-minute performance but I'm gonna have to edit and retroactively post about the process on my blog as I'm off to a gig! #vcvrack #cardinal #analog #videosynthesis
