"Obscura” - Eurorack Modular Ambient – [Ft. NDLR, Plaits, Rings, Opsix, Mininova & Soma Cosmos]

#ambient #opsix #mininova #eurorack

A gentle, slightly melancholic ambient piece this time featuring Eurorack Modules Plaits, Rings, Databender, Beads & DLD together with a few Synths, namely a Korg Opsix, Novation Mininova and Moog Subharmonicon with background textures provided by Soma Cosmos. I do hope some of you find it pleasing; as usual, the piece slowly evolves and develops, so do please listen to it in its entirety in order to fully appreciate the track.

[Note: to fully appreciate both the video and the track itself, please set the Youtube screen resolution (using the small cog wheel icon at the bottom of the viewing screen) to 1080p HD and good quality speakers or headphones are highly recommended]

Patch Info:-

The track starts with the Soma Cosmos playing granulated, looped chord textures and this continues throughout the track underlying the main layers of the track.

A Conductive Labs “NDLR” provides the master clock for everything, clocking both Hermod and Pams New Workout. Pam in turn provides the clocks to the Eurorack, i.e. Databender, DLD and Beads.

The NDLR handles all sequencing (Key of "A", "Locrian" Scale, 80bpm) via Hermod which distributes CV and gate to the Eurorack system and also Midi to the Korg Opsix (Background chords) and Moog Subharmonicon (Bass duties). The NDLR was manually controlled throughout. A Novation Mininova was also manually played at specific parts throughout the track.

Rings is multed into Beads and Databender, the latter providing reversed washes with added saturation and then into the mix.

Plaits (with new firmware) playing a DX (FM) preset into 4MS Dual Looping Delay and then into the mix.

Maths modulates the filter on the subharmonicon.

All sounds then into Strymon Big Sky (Nimbus Cloud setting) for final reverb and added ambience.

As with all my tracks, no DAW was used and all mixing was undertaken solely within the confines of the modular racks. Recorded into Audacity with just a little compression.

[Thanks to Christian Bohdi for the excellent video clips used in the making of “Obscura”]

Thanks once again for indulging me and for taking time out to listen to the track
