"Candela" - 30 Mins of Calm Generative Modular Ambient

Still haven't gotten back to using Beehive, this is another patch with SVF-1 as the voice! It's a good challenge to change things up a bit =D
Was really happy to capture some glimmers of sunlight between the overcast spells on the day I recorded this.
I actually kept recording the patch for another half hour after I turned the camera off, so I might put an extended version out at some point.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoy =D =D =D
Patch Notes:
Modules:
Behringer CP1-a power supply
Micro Ornament and Crime (Benisphere firmware)
After Later Audio Baker (MI Peaks clone)
After Later Audio Beehive (MI Plaits clone)
ALM Tangle Quartet
Tenderfoot Electronics SVF-1 filter
Instruo Ochd
After Later Audio uBurst (MI Clouds clone)
ALM HPO (headphone out)
Ornament and Crime is running TrigSeq and Squanch. Trig sequence is pinging SVF-1, Squanch is quantising an LFO from Baker and sending V/Oct to SVF-1
Baker is in tap lfo mode, running a random waveform to generate the melody. The amplitude of the waveform is modulated by Ochd to create slow changes in the range of notes produced by Squanch.
Beehive isn't patched!
Tangle Quartet is attenuating modulation from Ochd that's sent to uBurst.
SVF-1 is set up to ping with triggers from O_c, it's the Bandpass output that's being used.
Ochd is modulating Baker and uBurst, and timed reasonably slow.
uBurst is in granular mode with Texture, Density, Size and Feedback all being modulated. Which at times creates washes and other lets the more percussive sequence of SFV-1 through. Reverb is pretty high, and dry/wet is slight north of 50%.
HPO outputs to my audio interface, there is some slight stereo widening, EQ (mostly a high pass as there was some ridiculous sub bass!) and Limiting.

A soothing and meditative journey. Beautiful.

[@Not_A_Creative]

Thank you very much!! =D I think patching in the sunlight always seems to make the end result calmer =D

[@mauriziofaggion]

In that small system of modules there is actually a small universe contained!

[@Not_A_Creative]

Thank you, love that thought! =D =D

Great sound... truly allows the mind to wander. Greatest thing I like about these machines is that there is rarely a loop... it is like walking down a synth trail always hearing something new as you traverse.

[@Not_A_Creative]

Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it =D Yeah I love the philosophy of generative patching, that's a great image =D

[@YeLLGoYeLLGo]

Just looking at this hardware is beautiful and what falls on your ears is excellent👌🎧✨🤍💫

[@Not_A_Creative]

Thank you so much!! =D =D =D

[@shatteredhumanoid8567]

Just want to say your patches inspired me to start exploring modular. The possibilities seems immense from this compact setup. Thank you for sharing your works!

[@Not_A_Creative]

That's great to hear!! =D Thank you so much, and happy patching! =D

[@sonicshawarmamodular]

Love the slow evolution of this. The little high pitched notes sound great!

[@Not_A_Creative]

Thank you so much!! One of those happy accidents, uBurst made me slow everything down from what I'd planned! Don't think I'll ever get tired of Clouds =D

[@djkanyon]

i usually skip modular ambient videos but this one is good! awesome, good job

[@Not_A_Creative]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it =D

[@1VperOctave]

Don't tell porkies, this video alone completely contradicts your channel name 😀 This is a very relaxing and enjoyable piece. Thank you.

[@Not_A_Creative]

Hahaha, thank you!! xD =D It's been a journey for sure =D Glad you enjoyed it =D =D =D

[@gitbox]

This is pretty cool. I didnt realize you coukd do this kind of thing with synths. Can i ask a good starting point to get into creating with synths?

[@Not_A_Creative]

Thank you!! =D Yeah there's so many possibilities to explore with synths. For starting off it depends a little on what you're thinking you want to do. This is using modular, which can be exceptionally good for a range of things from techno and IDM to pure sound design. But they can be a quite overwhelming to start and get expensive very quickly. The way I started was with VCV rack (a software emulation of modular synths) and plenty of youtube tutorials, and then got a cheap hardware synth (2nd hand Behringer Crave in my case but there are A LOT of options). If you haven't come across them already channels like, BoBeats Molten Music Technology, Red Means Recording, Mylarmelodies and Andrew Huang all have some awesome guides and advice probably the best things to check out first. Hope that's helpful =D

Can this music be used in videos with your permisison? Under which license is it released?

[@Not_A_Creative]

Sorry for the bit of the delay, just replied to your email =D
