Narrated Ambient Exploration on Vermona PerFourMer (with Digitakt 2, Empress Echosystem and Reverb)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Following the last long sound exploring jam I did on the @vermonagear PerFourMer Mk2 I wanted to do another, this time ambient and featuring the newly added Echoplex :) And I thought it would be fun to narrate more or less what I'm doing throughout. It hits some fun places and I hope you enjoy the journey! Sit back and relax with some headphones and a coffee or whatever!
Signal chain is Perfourmer into Echoplex into Reverb into Digitakt 2 (with compressor but no other FX)

Realky nice sound texture and atmosphere.
@@audiblevoid 😁🙌 Thank you for checking it out, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Nice 👍👏
@@ondraJams Thanks very much 😊
Mitzi!!!
@@JessGraz 🤩 She so sweet
Can’t have coffe its almost 11 at night but this thing sounds sick, and the delay gives another dimension
@@wilkkick Thank you dude! I appreciate that, and good for not drinking coffee too late 😉
Awww Mitzi!!!!
This inspired me to sit down and take it slow. I've been putting together some patches on the 2600 to be sequenced with ZOA, which is an iOS app that uses "game of life" generative patterns. But everything I've made so far sounds so harsh and atonal, and frankly annoying even with scale quantization. There's an art to ambient generative that I haven't quite figured out yet. It's just so opposite from my years long ethos of "riffs, headbanging, beer and skulls and tits" style music composition.
But this just sounds so good and looks so fun. I may not record it, but I'm definitely gonna be in my room and take a breather at some point and make some sounds like this.
Inspiration +1
@@GeorgeL909 That's really cool, I'm glad to have sparked some inspiration 😁 I do like harsh and atonal type stuff so that does sound neat, but I know what you mean, sometimes it's annoying to listen to when you were aiming for something more "pleasant". Ambient can be reaaaaal easy, but also sometimes it can be real hard to find a sweet spot.
Honestly, 75% of it is just having a nice very lush delay and reverb 😂 The P4 isn't technically doing anything generative, though it's complex enough just because of how it works that it almost sounds like it. With each voice set to different settings, and each time a midi note is sent it rotates to the next voice, if like 3 notes are sent and then 1 and 1 and 3 etc it all cycles in an interesting way and then the next time through it might be different if it's an odd number of notes or something.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy/enjoyed your chill session! While I would like to hear what you come up with, there's definitely something about specifically deciding not to record and just enjoying it sometimes!
Thanks as always!
@@hexwavemusic the most lush reverb I've ever heard is probably the hologram microcosm. It calls to me... but it's practically priced as much as a full on synth and even used sells for like $400+. Still that thing could make a wet fart sound like Vangelis.
@@GeorgeL909 Yeah it's super expensive, so are both of these empress pedals 🙃 But I like having one really nice pedal that covers all the bases in an area, like some people have 3-4 reverb pedals for different occasions but that's too messy for me! Microcosm is quite nice, I've had it twice. I felt like it was doing something to lower the quality of my signal chain, but that was probably just in my head. But that's one of the reasons that I landed on these empress ones, because they make a big point of saying the signal chain will stay pure even when bypassed, it doesn't introduce noise or whatever which is nice. But everyone loves microcosm, I know tons of people with them (and my brother has my first one for guitar).
Anyway, don't buy anything! Right? 😜🤑💀
@@hexwavemusic very interesting! Hasn't considered signals chain stuff.
Since I don't do a lot of "live performance" besides pressing notes live, my next experiment after trying to turn my 2600 into a Moog Labyrinth, is to try and find some combination of resampling the sp404s janky reverb to make something lush. I know there's some combination of settings to make a huge lush reverb via resampling, I just have to find it. The 404 effects are wonderful, but the reverb is kinda tame. The delay algorithms are phenomenal though, especially tape delay with detuning and ko da ma delay (whatever that's doing). Ko da ma at high feedback and short delay times actually makes for a better reverb than the 404s actual reverb effect 🤣.
Ok that's my plan. Don't buy anything. Fake a labyrinth. Fake a microcosm.
@@GeorgeL909 Yeah from my brief foray with the 404, I loved the FX a lot and really missed them after! The whole setup with that thing is actually really cool, with the customizable FX bus options and whatnot plus the performance controls right there in your face.
Good luck and enjoy it!!
