MA VCA - Demo 02 (PEG Envs & AM)

from Manhattan Analog - VCA by Matttech Modular Demos

/

about

In a similar fashion to Demo 01, this demo was intended to demonstrate how the Manhattan Analog VCA responds to a variety of envelope shapes, along with some Amplitude Modulation (AM).

Patch Details

1. This quickly became the most chaotic demo so far: Braids was again used as the sound source, but this time it was heavily FM'd by a Piston Honda (can you imagine a more gritty form of FM?). They both crap out at high FM settings, so they are a match made in heaven (or hell, depending on how you look at it..).
2. The TIMBRE and COLOUR of Braids were modulated by the PEG, with the envelopes set up in a similar way to the previous patch - but with even more modulation (of the SKEW, CURVE and DIVISION...).
3. Braids' main pitch was controlled by an output from the a149-1, which was also providing all of the other modulation sent to the PEG.
4. The Manhattan Analog VCA added the final icing on a fairly disgusting cake, smashing it all to bits with an unhealthy serving of Amplitude Modulation, courtesy of the two PEG envelopes.
5. An a149-2 random gate was used to sporadically toggle the CYCLE of the PEG back and forth from one envelope to the other.
6. To add insult to injury, Braids was put into META mode.

Reverb added during mixdown. No EQ.
