Badass modular techno live set #1

I made this patch for a show at La Murisserie, Marseille. For this one I've used some vocal samples downloaded from the Splice platform, then made some patterns according to those on the Oxi One sequencer.
Synths :
The bass is the first algorithm on the MI Plaits, going through the Noise Engineering Ruina Versio for some subtle distorsion, then to the Make Noise Mimeophon for a flanger type effect. Amplitude is controlled by the TipTop Audio Z4000 enveloppe. Additional synths are coming from the Bastl Pizza Complex Oscillator, going through the MI Blades filter, with its frequency being modulated by the Make Noise Maths AD enveloppes. Amplitude is also controlled by Maths, thanks to the Intellijel Quad VCA. Main output is going to the Intellijel Sealegs delay, and the Octave output is going to a Happy Nerding FX AID XL for some tape echo effect. I'm also using the Atom Antumbra (MI Elements clone) as a sort of drone. Many of its parameters + gate input are being controlled/triggered by the Erica Synths Black Joystick 2. The Antumbra is also going through another FX Aid for some large spring reverb. All the synths are going to the SSF Vortices mixer.
Drums :
Kick, snare and hihats are coming from the Flame Instruments FIRE module, all controlled by a multitrack sequencer on the Oxi One. This is also triggering additional drums coming from my new WMD modules : Fracture, Chimera and Crucible. Those get some random modulations coming from the ADDAC Complex Random module. The kick goes to the WMD MSCL compressor, and gets more bass with the Befaco Hexmix EQ. All drums are mixed in the Befaco Hexmix ensemble, with some send/return reverb coming from a Happy Nerding FX Aid module.
Octatrack :
The OT, on top of providing the vocals, is acting as a mixer for the drums (main Hexmix stereo output going to input AB of the OT) and the synths (Vortices main mix output going to CD input of the OT). I'm using it for EQ and compression mainly, but also some delay and reverb. I had never really used the OT's compressor before, but it can definitely bring cool results with some heavy setting and a low mix value. I'm also using track 8 as a master track for additional EQing and compression.

Really digging this one.

love the use of the vocals and the groove, nice to hear something new and fresh

@@jamesde7775 thanks for your feedback ! Yes vocals are always a good add on, I actually made several of the bass lines according to those vocals:)

[@jamesde7775]

​@mistamaff8508 how do you make a bassline according to a vocal?

[@mistamaff8508]

@@jamesde7775 depends which vocals but some have more or less a musical scale, so if I have a vocal in G minor then I'll play a bass in the G minor scale. Not the case for every vocal though.

bro, this is next level modular set! have to say the kicks/snares are cutting through really well through the mix/set. Also this could be an inspiration to dj's who want to evolve.

[@mistamaff8508]

Hey man thanks a lot for your comment, I've worked a lot on this one so this means a lot. You can't really compete with a DJ set without a computer TBH, but you can always do your own thing ! Really glad you liked it.

@@mistamaff8508 I beg to differ - after hearing your set - they better take notice - I was a dnb/house dj back in the 2000’s. You are the shit!

@@motaki79 Thank you ! 🙏 This really helps to keep going at it

I don't even understand how this working but I love it!

[@mistamaff8508]

@@findlayac thanks ! The great thing about modular is that you have direct control over many parameters. I'm using a sequencer to control triggering of different sounds (drums and synths). There's a lot to say but don't hesitate to ask if you have any specific questions :)

Wanna thumbs up multiple times!
