this is an ambient IDM album made entirely with the first VSTi ever made, the Steinberg Neon from 1999. ALL sounds coming from neon, fx plugins used were valhalla supermassive and that native instruments choral plugin. tracks were sequenced with a yamaha rm1x with some generative pipelines from blokas midihub. tracks resampled to 10bit and then pushed the gain a bit. the sequences on the rm1x are very basic, the midihub is doing a lot work to spice them up a bit :)
This calming and introspective downtempo track features a delicate glitchy drum beat and reflective synth passage that will take you on a peaceful and reflective journey 🎶🌸.
You can pre-save "Bloom" now at bloom.nctrnm.com and be the first to hear it when it's released.
Thank you for your support, and I can't wait for you to experience it 😊💙
Intermediate studio replumbing complete- new audio interface, MIDI and CV cooperating, modular talking to old synth modules- lots of fun possibilities now
Mellower things just seem to keep coming these days, so here's a quick session with the new way of working- all of the sequencing is still from the modular, but there are additional voices here coming from an X5D and NX5R

Continuing on the idea of a "breathing" patch, this soundscape is clocked by 4 interrelated Quadrax functions. Different stages advance various sequencers and trigger other events, with a small dose of randomness via coin flips to add variation.
Main bowed sound is an impulse train from Maths (triggered by Three Body square output) through Erbe-Verb. Another wave under phase modulation through Shapes is under VCA goingthrough Lacrima Versio then Magneto for the buzzier delayed voice. Just Friends (Floom) goes through QPAS and Milky Way, and finally the ambient percussion/woodblock sounds are Crucible through Ikarie LPF then Data Bender (red corrupt).
Honestly, logically there's too much to adequately summarize - just enjoy the ambiance.
