MOTM

Hi List/Richard/Koos:

 >> Nice!  Now, we should guess what other 4 modules besides the 101 and 
440 were used.  My guess:
 >>1 MOTM 190 VCA
 >>2 MOTM 800 EG
 >>1 MOTM-420 VCF to filter the noise
 >>What originated the 4Hz clock that you recorded?
 >>How did you do the stereo field?
 >>-Richard Brewster

Richard, you're very close. 190 VCA, 800 EGA.  The filter is the same 
440.  The other module is 120 LFO, although I could have used the other 
half of the 380, making 5 modules in all.  The 4 hz clock was the other 
half of the 380.

 >> Koos: How did you create your piece?

After I discovered that my Alesis HD-24 recorder would record a 4 hz square 
wave, I wondered if the track played back would function as a usable 
clock.  So I recorded six percussion tracks, varying the parameters for 
each track, using the recorded 4hz clock.  The 101 S&H was "selecting" the 
drum parts, so they were all different.  When played back they were all in 
perfect sync.  At this point it all started to sound like music

Using the same patch, but using the 440 filter oscillating as a sort of 
VCO,  I recorded three more "lesd" tracks.  Then mixed down the nine tracks 
via Yamaha 0196V mixer.  The tracks were panned across the stereo field.

Thanks for your interest.  Its great to share with people that know what 
I'm talking about..

Jim
