Pillars - Eurorack Electro Live Jam / Make Noise Shared System HD
The main idea was to try to get as many voices as possible from a Shared System and to have a few different ways to change the harmony and melody. I used four outputs of the DPO and mixing them differently using similar enveloppes, sometimes striking the Optomix to further differentiate the relationship between the voices. I somehow found that the reel I had on the Morphagene (a simple DPO output sampled at different pitches if I remember correctly) played down a bit and with a very small gene size gave me those awesome horn like sounds. Finally I got a Kick-like sound out of taking the DPO through both channels of the LxD, once to Strike the signal then to filter it out. I tried to use the WoggleBug Noise output for this, but it was either too noisy (when the LxD is open) or lacking punch (closed). Modules used: MakeNoise Shared System Black & Gold Plus with added Brains and LxD.

Melody A (the first one to come): DPO B Sin output, sequence comes from Rene X channel, modulated with a cycling envelope from Maths Ch1 by the optomix. "Horns": morphagene with a small gene size, play is clocked by tempi at /16 of the main clock (Ch.5), slide (from pressure points output 3) selects the note. I sometimes push Morph to the max to get the random pitch shifting effects. "Bass" (comes at 0:51) is DPO A Sawtooth, tuned by Pressure Points output 1, eveloppe is coming from Maths Ch1, modulation in the ModDemix. Melody B (the "harsh one") is DPO B Final output, sequenced again by Rene X channel, first modulated by Maths Ch4 (slow cycle) in the ModDemix then by the Optomix (Strike coming from Tempi Ch3) Pressure Points (T-Gate output on Brains) changes Rene State (mostly the same sequence, but the quantize range is different). Pressure Points four states allows me to select the bass note and the horns. Everything goes though Echophon then ErbeVerb
