Re: Borg patch * percussive

2001-11-11 by drmabuce@yahoo.com

Hi All,
    I got motivated by Gino Robair's standalone Borg Filter patch and 
dug out my notes for another standalone borg patch that I made before 
I got my borg in the rack.
     Please note:(the LEFT half of the module is 1, the RIGHT half is 
2)
    It is quite dense and uses almost every jack. The critical knob 
settings are OSC1 & OSC2 because they establish the ratios that 
stagger the rhythms The FREQ1, FREQ2 settings establish the timbre of 
the individual beats. And the PEAK1 & PEAK2 are a bit touchy  too. I 
think it sounds best when the peak knobs are just at the threshold of 
oscillation. The overall sound of the patch (as described) is rhythmic 
with pseudorandom interruptions.  Due to the 'organic' (some say: 
'wet') sound of the vactrols it is hard to avoid the PMCDFS 
(post-multiple-chili-dog-fart-sound) syndrome. If this timbre class is 
NOT desired, meticulous tweaking of the FREQ & PEAK knobs will be in 
order.
   So with no further pedantic ado----

Patch cords:
1v/oct1 to mult
key fol1 to mult
mod1 to tri2
in1 to out2
tri1 to 1v/oct2
saw1 to mod2
sqr1 to in2
out1 to (amplifier)
key fol2 to sqr2
saw2 to mult


Switches:
Osc1 LOW
Osc2 LOW

Knobs: (positions given as clock hour-hand)
FREQ1 9:00
FREQ2 9:00
PEAK1 3:00
PEAK2 3:30
TYPE1 LP (7:00)
TYPE2 BP (12:00)
MOD1 5:00
MOD2 5:00
OSC1 2:00
OSC2 2:30

Have fun wiardo's!
