Same modular patch as Octaverb Zone, but with a totally different outboard effect.  This is an application of the Pulse Comb filter of Audio Mulch.  Actually, two Pulse Comb filters, one per stereo channel.  I’m having a blast playing with Audio Mulch.  There’s so much to learn.  I’m limiting myself initially to exploring effects applications, i.e. patches where a stereo input from my synthesizer passes through sound processors and is mixed back with the original, just like any effect.

I don’t completely fathom the Pulse Comb yet.  It is a type of delay line with envelopes.  I learned that the parameter values need plenty of tweaking and trial to obtain the just the right effect.  I set the repeat frequencies to match fairly closely to the Binary Zone clock, but not synchronized.  And I set the echo times fairly long and each slightly different.  The Pulse Comb has the ability to pitch shift up or down, too!  But that feature didn’t lend itself to this patch.

The recording starts out dry, with just the modular patch running.  Gradually the pulse comb effects are mixed in, become wildly intense around the middle of the piece and then gradually being mixed back to dry.
