Patching and Jamming : AE VCase-7 with Cirrus Classic & Kaestle Drum paired with the Volca Drum

Pairing the VCase-7 (AE Modular) with a Volca Drum makes for a great combination.
In this (very) small setup I have the Cirrus Classic : www.tangiblewa...
Wonkystuff's Kaestle Drum : wonkystuff.net...
And the Modulators : www.tangiblewa...
the Volca Drum (www.korg.com.br...)
All makes for a trippy dub jam.

2:40 - Patching the Modular
6:05 - Better quality audio and jamming starts
7:30 - Speeding up (Volca Drum action)
11:05 - Body Contact - touching a loose wire hooked into the Modulators
12:00 - "Birdsong Dub" (Deeper into the Jam)
14:20 - Cirrus Vibes
15:40 - Hooking the LFO to the Cirrus Size CV
17:20 - End game

Nice! Was hoping to hear more from this setup 😊

Thanks. I believe there is a lot to explore here. But I need to get to the actual Volca Modular / VCase jamming / video soon. My hunch is that that's going to work better if I swap the Modulators for a filter. It's a shame to lose modulation, but the VM has its spare function generator, and if I do that, I can put the Kaestle Drums through the filter, while freeing the Cirrus for the VM itself. Anyway will see how that turns out and document it soon.

sounding like an immersive combination, cool beats too 🙂

Thanks. I really like the rhythms that come out of playing with the Volca Drum. At the same time, I really need to sit down and learn some sound design on it. (It's a relatively new acquisition). Because these drum sounds are way too hard and bright for the vibe I was exploring. I need to figure out how to make the kick lower and mellower. And tone down the other instruments too. Also, listening to the video, the Kaestle / Cirrus needs to be louder in the mix. But it's an enjoyable combo to jam with.

@@synaesmediaI find it's quite hard to make the cirrus/kastle louder unless putting it through the 2Signalamp or quadboost. Would really like to play with the drum as I've heard complicated sounds and rhythms coming from it. Enjoy!

@@maydonpoliris Yeah . Kaestle Drum definitely feels quieter than my normal Bastl Kaestle. Don't know if that's the algorithm in the Drum, or the way the AE version is built. I hear other people making some beefier drums with it than I managed so far. So need to experiment more. Or it could be the Cirrus making everything quiet.

@@synaesmedia and every patch is different so we may never find out why but I guess that's the fun we have while experimenting 🙂
