Some Drums, Some Bass

Here is a short sample of what you can do with Ornament & Crime (OCP) module. I know, I was not very prolific producing music these past months.

Here goes.

 

OCP euclidian rhythm params
This five-track piece was recorded on a single session.  No detailed patch today but a light description with the links to the modules I used.

Ornament & Crime with the Pique application generates the three envelopes for the drums using the included euclidian rhythm patterns. 

Kick is Ripples filter pinged and modulated by OCP envelope number 1.

Light clap is a sine wave ringed modulated with white noise in A*B+C with OCP envelope number 2.

Hi-Hat is pink noise mixed with triangle into Erica Synth high-pass filter with OCP envelope number 3.

Patterns for clap and hi-hat are controlled via control voltage, hence the variations.  Clap is controlled via sequencer, hi-hat density is controlled by a random source.  


The synth setup
Swoosh effects is white noise into Rings into Beads, with Tides and other sources as modulation.

Bass, clock and sequencer from Novation Circuit Mono Station.

Sources of modulations : Sloth Chaos, Rampage, Turing Machine and Sample&Hold.

Some effects courtesy of Line 6 HX Stomp.

DAW : Reaper.  Additional effects on Hi-Hat include a dotted 8th note delay. Other effects: stereo diffusion, compressor on drums and bass, some reverb on drums, tons of EQ.
