Three Karplus-Strong sounds mixed together and sent through Mimeophon. One uses the Dave Smith DSM03 Feedback module, purpose made for Karplus-Strong synthesis. Another is the Karplus-Strong effect in my new Happy Nerding FX-Aid. I patched up the third by combining Sputnik Modular Four Tap Delay with Xaoc Devices Belgrad filter. I took a noise output from Disting Mk 3 through a VCA with a fast envelope (well, the envelope times are randomized) to excite the patch, and also into the FX-Aid.
For control I patched a wacky feedback interaction between Xaoc Batumi LFOs, four sample & holds, and both channels of Joranalogue Select 2. I took advantage of the custom Individual Wavebank firmware for Batumi, which allowed me to user four smoothly changing random wave forms.
A second take with a different control patch and tweaks. The Karplus-Strong sounds are more apparent in this one.
So wild as always!!
Maybe a little too wild. I’m going to make another recording with this patch, but tone down the feedback.
