Kids remember this was all done in one take, not 125 like others do. Thank you for inviting us into your cave, Andy. You gave us a clear look behind the scenes and also your presence was so warm I felt like sitting there and having a cup of tea together. I learned a few things and liked your humorous captions.

Has about four-dozen things showing, quickly explains about six and says "That's about it!" Love it. 😆 Damn Andy, if I had that many toys to play with, nobody would see me for months! 🙂👍

Thought you were bringing out a bagpipe with it all, lol. Great breakdown. It's funny how few yrs ago I did the same thing, looking for "Drone Theory", but ended finding La Monte Young and studying his approach (2, 3, 7 and leaving out fifths).

@synkrotron Ай бұрын

@thewookiee9511 Ай бұрын

Very useful information, Andy. Softube has clouds, which is a little like Elements I think. Would I be right in thinking your fixed pitch is achieved by tuning your oscillators rather than a specific fixed voltage value.

@synkrotron Ай бұрын

hi Wooks 👋 Clouds is quite different to Elements... Elements is a physical modelling module whereas Clouds is a granular effect I have had a look at Softube modular and the nearest you can get is Rings, which is one half of Elements I think the only way you can get Elements in software is with VCV Rack and, yes, I usually tune an oscillator to the desired pitch but I do also sometimes use CV to select or change the pitch of a drone part... it very much depends on how want to perform the actual drone

thank you very much, James 🙂 yeah, sure, if drone interests you, keep at it, and, as I said I said in the video, we don't have to use modular for this kind of thing

It's that constantly evolving soundscape that interests me, then playing something over the top.

@synkrotron Ай бұрын

@@prometheusuk9845 yes, and LFO is key here, James I am not familiar with the Hydra but I believe that it has a good modulation matrix

@prometheusuk9845 Ай бұрын

The Hydra has 5 LFOs and 5 Envelopes, so plenty of options for modulation. The Mod Matrix is huge, I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think it has 64 slots. I've heard it said that it's like a modular in a box.
