Benge - Forms 7 - Topological Landscapes

This is the seventh instalment of Benge’s Forms Series, in which he creates an album of music utilising a single instrument. In this case he used a self contained modular synthesizer created by the Canadian manufacturer Modcan. The system contains various modules made by Modcan and Cyndustries in what is known as the Modcan-A Format. These modules were made between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s and all share the same basic dimensions, voltage requirements and patching format. The Modcan philosophy is one of high quality, precision circuitry combined with the flexibility gained from banana cable patching, which allows for extremely complex sound contruction and sequencing The system used here has approximately 10 VCOs of varying kinds, including analogue, FM and digital waveforms, 10 filters of various types, 2 samplers, 3 sequencers, 10 VCAs and 10 envelopes, noise and random generators, 4 mixers, clocking and trigger generators and processors, 4 VC delay units, phasers, frequency shifters, wave shapers, and many more unique logic-function modules, such as dividers, Boolian logic, flip-flops, comparators, and the like. The Modcan-A also allows for outboard effects units to be patched into the system, and on this recording a Boss SE-70 Multi-FX, produced in 1995, was integrated into various parts of the signal chain during the composition process This album was realised on the Modcan-A series Modular synthesiser All music and imagery by Benge

CatSynth Pic: White Cat and Modular, Vertical View

A beautiful pic from Davor Gazde and his white feline companion.  It looks like the cat is inspecting the patch quite intently.

We are pretty sure this is the same Modcan modular synthesizer from their previous photos.  You can see all of their contributions via this link.

Some sub in this one. #modcan FMVDO is classic. #kammerl firmware for clouds is full of sweet spots. #eurorack @malekkoheavyindustry varigate8 + voltage block is getting it done.

Harmonic Symmetry from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

Harmonic patch using the new MakeNoise tELHARMONIC is a Multi-Voice, Multi-Algorithm synthesizer, and 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator. The master clock is the Tiptop Circadian Rhythms. Clock output running into the Modcan Touch Sequencer. Channel output one running into one intellijel Dixie (V1) for the bassline. Dixie output running into a Mutable instruments Ripples filter (LP4), triangle waveform. Second channel output sequencing quantized 8 note sequence to the telharmonic oscillator, creating the first lead sequence in the patch (major scale set). One Mult output taken and sent to the Strymon BigSky reverb pedal to create the delicate swarm pads that rise in and out at the builds. Amplitude control of the slow rises via the intellijel HexVCA, slow rate control from one Modcan Quad LFO. The other output is then taken and sent to the Qu-bit RT-60 reverb. Third output from the Modcan TS sending quantized CV to the MakeNoise STO oscillator variable SHAPE output then sent through lower section of the MakeNoise Optomix. The forth output from the Modcan TS is sending a 4 chord pattern (min9) to the intellijel shapeshifter module in chord mode. This output is then sent to another Qu-Bit RT-60 reverb algorithm. MakeNoise Mysteron plucking guitar like effect being triggered by a 4ms RCD, 5th trigger out. The Mysterson then is running out into a Strymon BlueSky pedal, reverb.

Drum sequencing from TipTop CR, channel one kick drum going to the Nord Drum 2. Second channel number 2 triggering a custom snare drum made on the Nord Drum 2. Channel 6 from the CR triggering a low bass drum, in the key of "C". Clock output from CR into the 4ms SCM being rotated by a intellijel dixie sine wave output running at a slow rate shifting the 16th's hi hat pattern. Noise source for hi-hats are the SSF quantum rainbow 2, purple output running into the MakeNoise Optomix. The high end snare clap sound is by the Synthrotek's DS-M drum module, then being lightly processed by the Synthrotek DLY, slowly CV controlled by a Modcan Quad LFO in random mode creating more glitchy effects. This is then being sequenced by channel number 2 from the tiptop CR. The first lower left side 4ms Spectral Multi-band Resonator processing 72 custom DSP samples, which are being played by one addac wave player. The output is then being sent to a intellijel uVCF filter (hi pass), for the light subtle glitch textures. The second 4ms Spectral Multi-band Resonator, processing another set of 32 samples (noise washes/slow rises/falls) via channel number 4 from the CR tiptop. From here the output is being processed by a Mutable Instruments Clouds (granular mode), being controlled by the Pittsburgh Modular Game System running "Meteor Shower" mode in which the explosion based gates and random control voltages are then being sent to 3rd Dixie, controlling the CV rate time then from there its sent to the "Freeze" input on clouds, processing small bits of audio coming from the second addac waveplayer, The second output coming from the gamesystem is going into the "position" input on Clouds, which is doing some additional glitching to the signal.Main output from a intellijel Mutagen mixer then ran through the Eventide space pedal for extra spatial atmosphere. :-)

Modcan A & Cynthia Modular System (Canada, 00s)

[cluboftigerghost]

If you want to see what all of this ruckus is about, visit the Video page linked above. The sound was a means to an end for generating the video. If you watch the video, I would suggest watching the piece with the sound muted. The goal of the Disquiet Juno this week was to create a combination which is less than the constituent parts. We were instructed to utilize portions of the first ten tracks on Lee Rosevere's sublimely beautiful release entitled "5 Minute Meditations" and to combine them to create a single five minute piece which was "something even more ethereal, more ambient, more artfully threadbare." I was immediately interested in not doing anything to the source material except use it to create a video synthesis feedback system. I did this by taking the full ten tracks and putting them on my Thonk/Music Thing Radio Music module. I then utilized multiple random generators to scan through the folder with the samples, pitching them up and down, and staggering their start and reset points. As the results were very mid-range and treble heavy, I needed to get some bass frequencies in play so I parallel processed the audio through my Make Noise QMMG in low-pass mode. From their I ran the results through my Modcan Dual Delay, and then that whole chain was piped into my LZX Sensory Translator. I took the resultant 5 bands of EQ impulses from the ST and they drove all of the synthesis patterns in this piece. Finally, I recorded a pass in mono and then layered a reversed copy of that track in the opposite stereo channel. This process was incredibly labor intensive as I'd tried to previous methods using just the source material to drive the video synthesis, but the frequency content was too quiet and too narrow of a range to get good results. By manipulating and massaging the material radically, I was able to get something happening in the visual realm. But, I don't love how my processed sounds feel compared to the original. Hence my suggestion to watch with the sound muted. Just know it was Lee's sounds which created everything at play in my piece.
