(Matrixbrute CV'd to DFAM): "The Infinity Paradox"

Matrixbrute acting as controller for the DFAM.... but not only controller. I've taken the master line out from the MB and ran it into the Audio In on the DFAM, which gives a grand total of 7 (!) VCO's to play with (two on the DFAM, three on the MB, plus the two sub-oscs on the MB). What a sound. MB is controlling the pitch on the DFAM, and also gate-triggering each step, with the pitch determined by the chord I'm playing/where the chord degree lies on the arpeggio matrix. There is also some DFAM-DFAM patching.
At the start what you're hearing is just the MB. Great to hear it ran through the Moog filter. Sounds wonderful.
I was originally going to use a Y-splitter out from the DFAM, run one end to the desk, and run the other back into the MB via the external input. The result would have been the equivalent of two mirrors facing each other i.e an infinite loop. It would likely have triggered the apocalypse (or granted levitation ability, but I haven't read the manual in enough detail to be sure), so I kept it 7 VCO's only, rather than 7 multiplied by infinity.
One has to be careful.
PS the chord/harmonic progression is cyclic/infinite, hence the title. The title is also a reference to the apocalypse idea mentioned above.
All best
Kris

Thanks Kris for all you do. its so inspiring to watch. Unfortunately I woke up paralysed over two years ago and i at this moment in time i am unable to get into the studio. When i watch you preforming with the Matrixbrute it really does give my focus and a kick up the arse to regain my ability to walk so that i can get to the studio and get to all my equipment. Thank you again. regards Danny UK

[@digitaldiezel5870]

DFAM is the perfect partner for any synth. Great sounds bro!! 👍🏾💯

[@MrNot4saken]

Fantastic would love to see Moog Sound Studio 3 Dfam Mother 32 and Subharmonicon all connected to the Matrixbrute

[@GREENMAYNE]

Could you explain which outputs/inputs are connected between these two instruments to achieve this? Thanks!

[@synkuk]

The MB is a truly AWESOME machine ... may sound strange but it kept me from being pulled into the blackhole that is modular ....... for now ;) but then again I also think its a bit of a gateway drug :D

[@ValerioRosso]

....very interesting! I own both the machines so I'm gonna try it....

Soundcloud link here - soundcloud.com/user-736798162/the-infinity-paradox And the CV connectivity: MB VCO1 Pitch OUT - DFAM VCO1 CV MB VCO2 Pitch OUT - DFAM VCO2 CV MB Gate OUT - DFAM ADV/CLOCK MB Master OUT - DFAM Ext. Audio

[@CrusaderGeneral]

WOW! This sounds like approaching the event horizon. Now I have to get me the DFAM to plug into my MB

[@rickmorty4921]

I'm still wondering whether Matriarch or MB...??... with Moog trinity. I also have a pulsar 23 and I don't know if I'll go crazy with these cables, so maybe MB.

[@haydnr1631]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction to spend some money on a stablemate for my MB. DFAM to arrive tomorrow.

[@wowisms]

Wowsa!!! So good. Best synth sequence performance since Tangerine Dream. Thank you. Inspirational.

[@rodvaldes]

Awesome man! Nice sequence and the combinación with the DFAM is very interesting!

[@charliemckeagney3713]

Can someone explain to me whats going on here

[@MYCSLSA]

Great job there Mr. Lennox, very inspiring, cheers from Mexico!!!

[@thomasm8077]

Amazing. That sounds pretty awesome. You do good work on that MB.

[@roblewis5044]

Sounds like orbital, nice seq ☺

[@adrianyoung1191]

Yep gotta love your videos ! Thanks for posting - more!!

[@Blameworkshop]

Formidable.

[@kristopherdetar4346]

COOL !!

[@Digiphex]

Sounds great.

[@iamlostwave]

This is brilliant m8 :)

[@wackenthaljef]

Great great and ...great!!...abd beautiful!...I need a Dfam...

[@soundethersinfo135]

Love this! Compliments!

[@imnoone3916]

Love your videos, the matrixbrute is my favorite synth, glad I got one before the price went up. Also wonder if you can help me out, I also have a Moog voyager, do you know how I can connect the two together though the CV in/outs?

[@bond4177]

Just experiment! Can't hurt em.

[@bandito3377]

Sounds amazing!

[@imno1157]

What would you recommend me to start learning modular. I have a Matrixbrute and a voyager, a sub 37 and Kong MS20. The voyager has a few cv’s and the Matrixbrute has 12. How much would smell session cost?

[@SoniccoutureOfficial]

What are you using to support the DFAM behind the MB in that nice position? Been struggling with this myself.

[@jasoncaldwell0613]

Omfg i i wish that i never sold my dfam 🙇

[@Rafaelfo.]

Hey Kris. I'm not familiar with the MB - is the up-down direction of the arpeggiator here a preset or programmed? It's nicely consistent with each chord. Great piece.

[@barrywhite6919]

to and beyond!!

[@modthings7855]

so good. nicely done.

[@chriscopeman8820]

I'm curious about your plan A, Kris Lennox. Did you get around to reading the manual and trying it?

[@thosesmallyesterdays]

Amazing!

[@EdgarRoadMusic]

Awesome love it.. :)

[@melki999]

Beautiful demonstration, I've enjoyed much how it begins. May I ask you : is it possible to split the keyboard with the sequencer on the left and another sound on the right side?

[@ZaaZoJo]

great use of the two

[@daniws1972]

Thanks for sharing Do you know if you can do this whith a subsequent cv? Thanks

[@timhatch27]

well done!

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

I ordered one 1 week ago and have to wait because it was out of stock. It's funny how many videos are just sequences and moving buttons from bright to opaque. It's fun to do, but I hope I don't fall into the bunch that make these sequences that are actually easily made but don't go anywhere with them. I understand that sometimes one needs to start somewhere, but it's just funny to me. I don't know anything about the instrument and hope to learn it. I own the Arturia V collection.

[@krislennoxmusic]

It's probably a matter of scale. Any pianist could make the same comment RE difficulty, as most pianists could wipe the floor with synth players regarding technical ability at the keys. Hence I personally don't bother with such comparisons (or make judgments/comparisons), but rather, appreciate any and every upload, as no-one has any obligation to share with anyone else.

[@Justbase]

lol

[@djfree5435]

Great, which effects did you use

[@krislennoxmusic]

A little delay, and a little reverb (TC 2290, and Lexicon PCM 96).

[@danielakerman8241]

Reminds me a lot of Phillip Glass / Koyanisqaatsi

[@MrStupidHead]

Very much appreciate your video. Even moreso, appreciate your restraint.
