Orion | Generative Ambient Moog Mother-32

[@einroy2]

This is amazing. As someone who is very new to modular and owns a Mother32, if you were to ever do a full tutorial on the creation of this including sending it through Supermassive I would watch it a dozen times.

[@ocpourvoir]

Fantastic, i will have to dig harder with my Mother 32... i'm far from that at the moment...

[@glenesis]

Delivious string sounds, gotta try this! Happy music-making :)

[@OffLicenceStella]

You're getting a lot of miles out of just the Mother 32. That reverb really makes it sound like multiple voices

[@alexandermontagnet3361]

I absolutely love this! I think I have basically recreated it, but it isn’t as spot on as yours. Of course there will be variances. I do have one, maybe two questions for you. Did you use any Rests in your sequence? Also, this one is not as important based on the settings, but did you happen to use any accents..? Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful ambient track!!

[@ClausGahrn]

Thanks so much! The sequence contains two rests, but not any accents. :)

[@alexandermontagnet3361]

@@ClausGahrn Thank you for replying quickly! I knew there were not any accents, but I thought I should ask anyway. I have gotten really close to recreating it! Obviously it is not as good as your version, but at least it has the same sound and texture. I made the mistake of adding six rests, which isn't bad, considering. However, the problem with that is when it randomly picks three rests in a row. I absolutely love this as well as the rest of your material! I hope you keep posting. I have the Mother-32, DFAM, Subharmonicon, Werkstatt, and Mavis. I was thinking about getting some modules to use with it soon.

[@MassimoVaccaro]

Great sound! What kind of notes sequences did you used? Chord or a scale? Thanks

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Hey fellow moogster. This soundscape is right up my street. Thank you for the patch notes by the way. How have you found ModularGrid of late. I have stopped using it as some of my videos with links to it are not coming up right. Cables and knob settings ok but the Rack is completely wrong not the one I created? This has real slow power to it. How are you clocking the bpm of this? Nice work.

[@ClausGahrn]

Thank you very much! I am clocking the Mother-32 from Cubase. As for ModularGrid, I have only used it for this Orion patch so far. Have not had any issues with it yet. Are there any alternatives to ModularGrid that you would recommend instead?

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

No alternatives that I know about to ModularGrid and I seem to be the only one suffering so could be something I have done of course.

[@ClausGahrn]

As far as I know, Patches are linked to Racks. So if you change things around in your Rack, it will be reflected in your Patch. I have created a specific Rack for my Orion patch that I am not going to edit in the future.

[@Deathgazeroo]

Very ambitious music! I really really like it, and you are a master :) Did you use some external sequencer, or is it moog mother 32's one?

[@djsowari]

I really love this - I have both the Mother 32 and Supermassive. I have a question regarding the 32 note sequence - are there any rests programmed into the pattern?

[@ClausGahrn]

Thank you very much. :-) There are two rests programmed into the pattern. However, the filter will often be fully closed because of the random cutoff modulation and that gives the impression of even more rests in the pattern.

[@djsowari]

@@ClausGahrn Ahh yes, that makes sense :) thanks!

[@RAVS_73]

Man, this is wonderful. Valhalla Supermassive is tremendous, as is the M32. Planetarium?

[@ClausGahrn]

Thank you very much! I used a custom preset in Supermassive, but it was based on the Andromeda mode just like Planetarium.

[@shubhampaul7845]

Amazing patch! I followed you instructions given in the descriptions, programmed notes from D# minor scale into the sequencer and ran the output through SuperMassive. Did not get these slow, interleaving swells like yours, which almost sound like a chord. Can you give us pointers about the Sequencer and the reverb settings?

[@destress7730]

You need to control the envelope so it has a long attack and slow decay. You do this by using the VC mix after patching. You will get the swells you want then.

[@AngMoKio8]

@@destress7730 I am also a bit confused by those "chords". I mean even with a slow decay on the m32. As soon as the next note starts the previous note will stop. It is a mono synth after all. (I am not a owner of a m32, just interested watcher😄)

[@girlinagale]

Which series of notes do you use here, basic chord tones like root, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7b.

@@ClausGahrn I love the random sequencer mode, especially with a loop pedal, building up harmonic layers.

[@newYorkStories]

Ok, ok... I have so many questions. How did you get the audio from the Mother-32 through the Valhalla? Using a DAW? Audio Interface? And which Valhalla preset did you use?

[@naveen-]

my setup is: the M32's TS 1/4 audio out (on the back) into my audio interface, with a track in my DAW recording in from the correct channel. From there it is just regular audio recorded in your DAW and you can put on any effects as normal

[@ClausGahrn]

I recorded the Mother-32 in Cubase using an RME Fireface 802. As for the reverb, I created a custom Valhalla preset.

[@newYorkStories]

@@ClausGahrn thank you. I will try something this weekend

[@cryptodawgzzz]

@@naveen- could you use a midi interface with the midi? Like plugged into a synth, or do you need a audio interface also??

[@naveen-]

@@cryptodawgzzz If you just want to add like vst effects to your M32 audio from your PC, you'll need something like an audio interface. if you just want the MIDI notes/cc from the M32 sequencer (not the actual synth sound) into your PC or other synths, you should be able to use a midi interface using the Assignable OUTPUT on M32. But don't have my moogs anymore and don't own a midi interface so I can't say for sure sorry

What effects are you running through the mother? Obviously reverb. But anything else?
