continuing my attempt to do 50 instrumental modular synth experiments for 5090...

the concept behind this one was noise... i wanted to try and use as many noise-based sounds as i could in my various modules and still make something musical. i think i largely succeeded with it! quite ambient and melodic in the end...

\\\\\\\\ patch notes ////////

VOICES:
plaits ("background pad" in filtered noise mode, two outputs to stereo channels)
kinks -> ripples -> tallin ("background waves" using white noise into a filter, with HP/LP outputs going into 2 overdriven VCAs in stereo)
rings (in sympathetic strings mode; the only real non-"noisy" sound)
plonk ("kick" using modified "noisy tom" preset)
ubraids -> 2hp vca ("hihat" in TWNQ filtered noise mode)
basimilus iteritas alter ("snare")

EFFECTS:
the whole mix goes through typhoon for granular delay & reverb

SEQUENCING:
marbles; for clock and pitch/filter modulation on plaits, ubraids, plonk
turing machine (w/ volts expander) -> scales; for rings and "snare" pitch in a 5th interval
grids for drum rhythms

CONTROL:
ears to manually playing rings (tapping on the case and panel with a contact microphone)
a182-2 switch to alternate between the two evolving sequences coming out of turing machine & its volts expander for the melodies
control ("four big knobs") to modulate the drum pattern in grids as well as generate fills with the "CHNG" output)

MODULATION:
peaks, ochd, stages for lots of lfos messing with parameters everywhere
