'Not moving on' - Mellow, Melodic Eurorack Performance (AJH Synth MiniMod & Gemini 2412)

Melodic real-time performance using 2 modular analogue synth voices, a work-in-progress version for this album: tomorrowthecure.bandcamp.com/...
This track makes particular use of the Gemini VCF as two seperate filters - the melodic part (an arpeggio from the Keystep in random mode) consists of either the Entropic Doom (alone as a pitched noise VCO, sometimes with a regular VCO mixed into it's audio input, or used as a sync source), or just the standard VCO through the Ring SM (where additional octaves are added). The output of both the Entropic Doom and the Ring SM go to independent filters on the Gemini, Low Pass and Band Pass respectively. Then, the keyboard/sequencer gate from the Keystep triggers the Sample & Hold module, which modulates the mix between the output of these two filters using the Gemini's built-in voltage controlled mixer/cross-fader. I'm also using the CV Mix module to set the modulation level, range, and start/end positions.
The drone sound is two VCOs going through the Wave Swarm to the Ladder Filter, at certain points I manually shift the pitch of one of the VCOs using the Precision Voltages module, via the Glide module (up only).
Recorded into AUM on an iPad with EOS2 reverb.
Added video footage is of the North Norfolk Railway, then the Mid Norfolk Railway, UK (before 'lockdown').
I don't check RUclips so much anymore, as it no longer woks properly on my iPad (my main internet machine) since recent changes to the site, so it may take me several days to reply to comments. Check out DreamsOfWires on Instagram if you have it - I'm uploading there more often, including full-length videos via IGTV.

Thank you very much Lee

Nice. I love the ‘whistling’ Entropic Doom.

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thanks, yes it's great for that, previosly I'd use noise from the Glide to modulate a VCO's pitch, but the ED does a better job.

This is nice. The sequence blends in nice with the trains, very calming, ambient. Enjoyed very much, thank you !!!!
