Chilled Modular - The Halls of Time - Impro featuring Xoac Moskwa II, PolyCinematic & Cosmos Quencer
The first outing with the Xaoc Moskwa II which is a much more sophisticated roto sequencer than my Hikari of course! - I have discovered most features with it and so glad it will do full step skipping when required (mirroring my beloved Korg active step), but of course can do so much more. Particularly like the combination of random and probability (steps and pattern/ratchets) - I used a lot of it's clock division options and step skip in this piece, plus later the random/prob too combined with a lot of other stuff going on ... covered in the patch notes below, but I have started to add short one bar loops to my Pico Drums, and using one in this piece, as well as much better single shot samples. Cosmos Quencer gets a good run here as well as all the apps on my 2 Ornament and Crimes amongst much else. Enjoy and support me on Bandcamp here garyphayes.ban...

Nice one Gary. Giving the Moskwa a good workout I see (or should I say hear) Great sound scape happening. Thanks for sharing my man.

Yes a light run here, it can do a lot more - cheers Phil
Yeah! Those chord stabs around 18 minutes are great! I love the way you approach playing! Similar to the way I build up things up and want them quite playable. It’s been a while since I built up something like this though. So nice!

Glad you like it TT - yes I find moving layers in and out a good way to keep control, and switching things like the stabs happy accidents

Yooo! This is a great performance and patch! I’m only 6 minutes in but really great way to offer up flexibility. I like how effects are after the mixer so percussion can come in and out in a really smooth fashion. Also, love the PolyCinematic on this!

Thanks again mate - the two mixers have two fx around them, so one is delay for the left mixer and then is combined with the right mixer and reverb added - main for percussion when I want it delay free. and the poly cinmatic a real treat to have easy pads in a small modular setup like this

@@GaryHayes that’s really smart! I’m looking forward to a bit more quality of life stuff like dual effects and another mixer or even a proper stereo mixer which I don’t currently have. PolyCinematic definitely on my mind for chords. How do you find working with that and figuring out the chording or sequencing the types of chords? Easy or would I need to know a bunch more theory?

@@turbotambourine I mainly play 80% of the time, the PolyCinematic live via midi, so you can play up to 8 note chords on it. If you don't connect a keyboard you can store 8 up to 8 note chords in it which can be triggered by the 'chord cv in' along with a 'trigger in' - which is being used here. If you feed it a random CV spread over a 4 octave range or so you end up with an infinite slow random sequence of those 8 chords, so good for semi generative hands off stuff.

@@GaryHayes Oh that’s amazing! Smart! I’ll have to check the manual of that to check it out more! I currently don’t have a midi keyboard though eventually will be on the list to learn a bit more theory stuff. The 8 preset chords though sound perfect!

Great patch, I’ve always been intrigued with the Moskwa, I’m using mostly Five12 these days which is a powerhouse of a sequencer but it’s big where as the Moskwa looks handy on the real estate. Interested to know if you strip down your patches after recording and whether you take notes. Personally I don’t write anything down and pull all the cables after recording so I’m always starting from a blank state. Always interested on other artists workflow. Keep up the good stuff.

Thanks MM - yes for me the constant hands on potential is what I like about a sequencer, more like an instrument. Don't know the Five12 must check it out. re patch notes, for this one I actually did from memory when I watched the video, and as each channel / layer was introduced just wrote it live into Final Cut ... but I did edit it an hour after I did it, so much easier :) Cheers
