Modular Transmission 2024-04-24

Here is a great example of what can be done with multisampling. In this session, I used the LABS_Choir multisample stock library in the Disting EX.

Recall that a library has a dedicated sample file for each note (and often multiple files per note to account for different velocities). There are three voice channels feeding into the Disting’s unified stereo output. In this case, each channel is set to the LABS_Choir folder, but in the Disting settings I specified the note ranges for each of the three channels ; the whole patch spans about 6 octaves, with Voice 1 handling the lower 2, Voice 2 the middle range, and Voice 3 the highest 2 octaves.

The pitch of each voice is being modulated by chord progressions being pumped out by Ornament & Crime, which is in turn being modulated by Marbles/Pachinko, which really is the master ‘brain’ behind the patch.

It’s a semi-generative piece, with me continually (and gently) nudging it in various directions.

I hope you enjoy it, and leave a comment to let me know what you think.
