∿ P a t c h N o t e s ∿

∿ Distorted Chords ∿
Ornament & Crime quantises a saw wave from Batumi to a pentatonic minor scale, with quantisation triggered by Pulsar. Quantised voltage goes out to Rings in sympathetic strings mode. Rings' odd output is sent to Clouds, with the input gain driven to distortion. Clouds is set to looping delay mode, and low sample rate. The output from Clouds is multed and sent to two channels of Tone for filtering one low pass, and one band pass. These are combined and levels are adjusted using Tangle Quartet, then sent to Ableton via uJack. In Ableton the recordings are treated with ProR Reverb, ProQ2 EQ, and ProC2 Compressor.

∿ Saturated Strings ∿
Rings even output sent to Tangle Quartet, then Ableton via uJack. In Ableton the recordings are treated with ProR Reverb and Saturn saturator.

∿ Sub Bass ∿
Ornament & Crime quantises the discrete output from Chance to a pentatonic minor scale, with quantisation triggered by Chance's rhythm output. Quantised voltage goes out to STO, and the sub output is sent to Tone for filtering, before heading to Tangle Quartet.

∿ Field Recordings ∿
A collection of field recordings capturing frozen rivers and footsteps outside Ottawa, Canada. Recorded with a Zoom H5, and then processed using Fabfilter ProQ2 EQ and SoundToys Decapitator.
