Space Ventura - Live Improvised Modular Techno 10-12-2023

Live modular techno performance, going along with what the machines throw at me.
Short setup/flow explanation:
Using the ‪@WeAreElektron‬ Digitone to sequence the ‪@somasynths_subchannel‬ Pulsar-23 via midi. Modular system with MI Marbles and ‪@intellijel‬ Metropolix as main sequencers, main oscillator is MI Plaits, ‪@instruo‬ Arbhar grains going into MI Elements resonators.
Using the ‪@OTOMACHINES‬ Boum for some master compression and glue, ‪@1010music‬ Blackbox Sampler to play some synced (vocal) effects in the background, ‪@behringer‬ RD-9 on extra drum support.
Using the Xone96 as main mixer with the ‪@strymon‬ Nightsky and Volante on FX duty.

[@somberville3351]

Great set! Is that the Pulsar's kick we're hearing?

[@TheSpaceVentura]

Thank you! The kicks are partly (processed) RD-9 and Analog Rytm kicks, loaded into the Blackbox sampler and triggered from the Digitone through midi. So no Pulsar kicks here, I find them not too great for this kind of techno unfortunately - But for added percs, weirdness and hats it's great!

[@ghostinplainsight4803]

Impressive performance all round.
The glitchy sounds through the Arbhar and ring mod sound great! Subtle but very interesting sonically.
How does it work? Are you sending triggers from Marbles to open the recording gate? What are you sampling into it? is it just the Plaits out, master out, or something else?

[@TheSpaceVentura]

Hi! Thank you! I'll try to explain a bit how it was patched:
I've recorded some different voices (I think it was from an old '50s documentary about sound design) and rustling paper noises into the Arbhar's buffer, and on the Arbhar I've opened up the 'Spray' parameter, closed the 'Length' parameter a bit, and put 'Intensity' almost all the way down, so it only ocassionaly and randomly outputs from the buffer (unclocked). Also the pitch parameter on Arbhar is set to completely randomize the output - This way it randomly fires small grains of audio that can add nice texture/freakyness. After that the outputs of Arbhar are routed into Mutable Instuments Elements 'Ext in' patchpoints to make use of it's resonators and physical moddeling engines. Marbles is doing some more randomized dice-throwing on the parameters of Elements, which I'm attenuating here and there during the jam to keep it from going too wild. Hope this explains it a bit :)

[@ghostinplainsight4803]

​@@TheSpaceVentura Thanks for the explanation! That outlines it perfectly.
I wonder if I can get something interesting from a tiptop one playing samples into a mimeophon, morphagene, beads or data bender. No Arbhar's available in my country unfortunately. The hunt is on. Thanks again!

[@TheSpaceVentura]

​@@ghostinplainsight4803 Glad to have inspired a bit of Arbhar hunting 😀
I do think there are other ways to accocmplish this (sort of) with other modules as well - Might save a few bucks and also could be a fun process. Be warned that after hunting the Arbhar, it will hunt you back with it's demonic capabilities👹

[@analoGz46]

Amazing, do you have the reference of your stand? The light?

[@TheSpaceVentura]

Thanks! The light is a simple clamp on lamp, not sure where I got it... The stands are Innox Synthstands.

[@ryotamaekawa]

great jam!
