Moog Matriarch Generative Ambient Long Play
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- This is a generative ambient patch that was designed to simulate the ranging dynamics of a thunder storm moving passed in the distance. There are extended moments of ebb and swell, as well as some moments of near silence as the filter chokes. I let this run for about an hour just to see what sort of variance was created. Hope it might help someone study or fall asleep.
The Matriarch is running a slow randomized arp and the filter cuttoff and envelope amount are being controlled by a slow randomized LFO. The VCF is being attenuated slightly to the negative. Both traingle and square waves present in paraphonic mode.
This patch was a lot of fun to make and my attempt to mimic some of the longer generative eurorack pieces that I always find so soothing. About as close to the Matriarch playing itself as I could get.
Thanks for listening!
Absolutely incredible. This sounds so good playing on an Apple TV with 6-speaker Home Pod system. Awesome bass, smooth rolling tones. I used to warn my students about generating infinite loops. Now, I’m creating one for this video! I’m saving up $$$$ for my Matriarch, and I can’t wait to try your patch. I’m def subscribing to your channel. 🥰
Thanks! The Matriarch is brilliant at generating lovely evolving textures. The delay is simply the best I've ever used.
@@riotbell5365 Ordered my Matriarch. On back order until September. In the meantime, I’ve purchased a couple of Mother-32s and DFAMs. Already having some fun.
My Dark Matriarch arrived today, just followed this patch, so satisfying thank you
Glad you were able to follow it. Those dark Matriarchs look so menacing. Hope you have fun experimenting.
@@riotbell5365 I think Back to te Future should’ve swapped out the Delorean for a Moog because several hours slipped by in what seemed like a few minutes, so enjoyable!
@@Jin-Hu Glad you're having fun. I've spent more time with the Matriarch than any other synth I've purchased in the last five years.
Just fell in love with my Matriarch, too. This video makes it easy to think about a lifelong relationship with many beautiful experiences.
I just put this to play, went to other tabs to continue my work, now my work is done, have to shut down the computer and go, but can't cause I can't stop listening to this and I am hypnotised ;)
Thank you. That's immensely kind. It really gladdens me to know that people find this helpful for work and study.
Sweet, I have one of these machines, I was crossing my fingers to find you, and there you are - Thank you!! 😊
It's a beautiful synth and I always love working with it!
Great ambient hour! I love this machine!
Thank you!
Great patch! Lovely and just the right level of simplicity to sustain long play. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks. It was kind of a happenstance sort of patch that just felt good to let ride out for a while.
a gentle flow - could imagine this in a gallery or meditative space.
Thank you. I've found this is the sort of thing I like doing most with the Matriarch.
@@riotbell5365 ...I hope you're recording an archive....maybe there's a publisher that might know what to do with some of your work........
@@originallondon7994 That's super kind. This channel is just kind of a video diary of all my musical noodling. Happy to share for free.
@@riotbell5365 ...keep on noodling!!
Thanks for the description, this sounds beautiful
Thanks. I hope the descriptions help people understand the process a little more.
@@riotbell5365 It is possible to buy the patch from you? I'd like to set up my Matriarch to play this for giving birth :) You can listen to my self-gen music here. Emika - Chaos Star open.spotify.com/album/7f84MkERwkUXIW5l55ophP?si=XozvJOtdSB6yud5rBhcWvw
Beautiful sounds, excellent work - great job!
Thanks!
very nice, i can just let this play all day
Thanks. I really want to focus on some longer generative pieces in the future.
Incredible stuff. Very Eno-esque! This sort of thing requires patience and discipline, which I can totally respect.
I look forward to more of your stuff. Subscribed!
That's super kind of you to say. I love spending hours making a patch and then letting the machine do its thing. Not the most performative way to engage with synths, but definitely my preference.
Thank you so much for this - it is really amazing. I just (finally!) got a Grandmother - although I don't see myself achieving what you have, I do hope to explore it for some ambient stuff.
Thanks! Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you'll pull some amazing stuff out of the GM. Most of what I've posted on this channel is little more than some very lucky noodling!
@@riotbell5365 I appreciate the encouragement! It's a very cool synth, fortunately there's lots of info online about how to sequence, etc.
Well done!
Amazing work!
Thanks!
Really cool! I love
Thanks. These generative pieces are fun to make.
Loved!!! 😍
beautiful
Thanks!
Love it, great sounding patch!
I have one question: I can see that you patched VCF1 (input signa for filter) by randomized LFO. What is the point here? I thought VCF is rather for audio (hearable) signal not controll signal.
You know, it's been a while since I made this patch, so I'm really not sure. In all likelihood, it could just be an unnecessary patch point left over from a previous patch. Honestly, sometimes I get a sound going and really like it, and I'm afraid to pull any cables for fear I'm going to screw something up, even if the cable seems unnecessary!
@@riotbell5365I see 😊 Thanks for the answer!
That’s sound so good!
Thanks for the supportive words. Glad people seem to be liking this one.
This is amazing
Thanks. The Matriarch has been a blast to explore.
Wow! This is beautiful!
How did you achieve the "randomization" of your arps?
Thanks! Just flip the direction switch to RND and arps or sequencer will be randomized.
Thanks for ideas
Always happy to share.
Excellent patch. Would you be able to add a diagram for your knob settings? It’s hard to make out.
Thanks! I've been promising folks patch diagrams for months, but just haven't been able to find the free time with the holidays and all. I hope to get back to work on the channel soon and try to add the patch diagrams asap.
@@riotbell5365 No worries. Thanks for the response.
Nice meditation
Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks!
love it :)
Thanks, had a ton of fun making it!
Sublime
Thanks!
Is this possible on the grandmother? is this only the matriarch doing this? I'd love to learn something here.
This is just the Matriarch. Basically just running a randomized arpeggio in hold mode. The Grandmother could do something similar, but a lot of this is made possible by the delay on the Matriarch as well as the randomized LFO, which I don't believe the Grandmother has.
@riotbell I just got my Matriarch tonight, and thought I’d try this patch. Would you happen to have a diagram of this patch? I tried to copy it, but the reflections on some of the knobs make it hard to see where the actual settings are, even at 4K video. I did get something generative, but it seems to be 1 - 2 octaves down. Thanks in advance!
I've been promising patch diagrams forever. My apologies for not delivering. Life has just kind of got in the way of working on this RUclips channel. My plan is to get on modulargrid and get the patch outlines up. Maybe work on some more Matriarch videos as well. Just need to find the time.
@@riotbell5365 thank you for the reply! I will check out modulargrid =]
@@riotbell5365 As a suggestion, you could always rebuild the patch, and upload an overhead picture in good lighting for a RUclips short. Yeah, the knobs the Matriarch are so shiny, it’s hard to see the exact setting for sure… I’m still learning a lot about the Matriarch, and that these are analog synths… so every one will be ever so slightly different.
@@NexxuSix Thanks for the suggestion. I imagine it might be helpful to likewise provide the randomized sequence with notes. One of the fun aspects of generative music is that it's always a bit different each time around. I'm sure I couldn't perfectly recreate the patch in the video if I spent hours trying to replicate it.
Any updates on the patch settings? Looking forward to it!
Thanks so much for your patience. I've had a lot going on at work and home over the last six months. I love making patch videos, but it's just been on the back burner lately. I hope to get back to making videos and updating patches soon, but things need to settle down a bit first.
@@riotbell5365 thank you and looking forward!
are any of the patch points in the back being used?
None of the patch points in the back are being used. My apologies for not providing a detailed patch listing. I'll add one to the description.
@@riotbell5365 all good! been really liking your matriarch vids as a way of learning my way around the patch points. thanks!
