PLAN B analog blog

The Jam 'jam' was quite a good evening. Unfortunately due to a family
wedding I missed the main event. 

As usual a nice mix of gear in attendance.

All the best

The event was a live synthesiser jam - 9 guys altogether, three onstage
at once, playing on a sort of rolling rota basis.  I lucked out, and got
the job of running sequencers at the end.  I had 2 top-line sequences,
using my Wiard modules - one was random stepped voltages quantised to
Amin, the other was a step-up sequence from the Blacet Binary Zone, one
of the raddest modules ever made, again quantised to Amin.  For the
bassline I used the little Plan B voice - I mixed 2 VCO sawtooth waves
via the dual timbral gate, into the filter.  I set the timbral gate
knobs about 1/2way up, and plugged a gate from step one of the sequencer
into the CV in of both gates - this gave a little blip "on the one"
-handy thing w/vactrol-controlled stuff is that you can hit it with a
gate, and you don't get an obnoxious click at the beginning/end.  The
filter cutoff was controlled by the envelope generator, and by the
inverted output of the sequencer.  The sound was pretty meaty, and when
I hit the resonance boost switch, very very acidic.  I was just getting
into really working on the acid aspect of it, when they put the house
lights up.  Oh well.  A sonic pass w/flying colo(u)rs, anyway, for plan
B sonics.  Apparently the event was recorded, though I haven't
heard anything yet.
