PDO mk​.​2 + TBVCA - Demo 07 (Full Track)

from WMD PDO mk​.​2 + Triple Bipolar VCA by Matttech Modular Demos

about

For this demo I am merely patching intuitively, with no real aim other than to create some cool sounds! The PDO is undergoing some nice filtering too in this demo, and various techniques are employed to grind out some aliased sounds at points. This oscillator certainly has BAGS of character, and imparts a pretty unique sonic signature to most recordings. Definitely a keeper.

PATCH DETAILS:

1 - a149-2 provides random gates which clock and change the direction of a z8000 sequence
2 - z8000 sequence controls the pitch of the PDO (1v/OCT)
3 - The SUM Normalled output of PDO goes into the Pittsburgh Filter (In LPF mode)
4 - An LFO from the Vulcan Modulator is used to modulate the Filter's Resonance
5 - A randomly-triggered Maths envelope is mixed with an a149-2 random output (via a Maths slew) and used to modulate the Filter's cutoff.
6 - The same a149-2 random output (via a Maths slew) is used to control how much PDO ch.1 modulates the phase of PDO ch.2 - via the Triple Bipolar VCA (TBVCA)
7 - The same randomly-triggered Maths envelope is used to control how much PDO ch.2 modulates the phase of PDO ch.3 - via the TBVCA
8 - Output 4 of the PDO is taken out to a VCA, which is opened and closed by a very slow PEG envelope. This is then used to FM the PDO, creating strange aliasing sounds when it increases in intensity throughout the recording
9 - A randomly-triggered z4000 ADSR is used to control the amplitude of the output VCA, and its GAIN is manipulated manually at points.
10 - The following controls are also manipulated manually during the recording: Filter cutoff and CV inputs, PEG output attenuator and rate, TBVCA CV inputs, PDO Coarse Tuning.
11 - At points the main clock coming from Silent Way/ ES3 is interrupted by muting it.
