A sample I recored some weeks ago of a creshending tremolo played on two small asian gongs is used in Oscillator 1 set to granular mode. Sample playhead position/speed is controlled by a looped envelope, control the release time with the assigned Macro. This is run through a Cloudfilter (Balance controlled by the Modwheel) and a Combfilter with it's Resonance assigned to a Macro. Channel B is set to FM mode, Channel C to Double mode, both are run through envelope controlled BPFs and a LPF 8Filter. A Waveshaper and another Cloudfilter (Balance also assigned to the Modwheel) are found in the Master section before the signal hits the Resonators in the FX section. Check the LFO and Macro pages for further Modulation sources and targets.

So I sampled the decay phase of a nice Piano chord (C#min7/9/11) and put Osc A in Granular mode playing back that sample, it's speed controlled by an envelope. Control the sustain Breakpoint of that envelope with the assigned Macro. The signal is then fed into a LFO controlled Allpass 8 Filter, control it's resonance with the dedicated Macro and it's overall Frequency via Velocity. A Cloudfilter processes the signal furtherly, Filter Frequency controlled by an envelope, Filter Balance is controllable with a Macro. Channel B runs a Double Oscillator fed through a LPF 8 Pole Filter, it's Feedback processed by an envelope driven Frequency Shifter, control the Mod Pitch Rise Time and sustain level with the assigned Macros and the overall Volume of Channel B with another Macro. A Waveshaper in the Master section adds subtle distortion and the Supercomb with Macro-controlled Feedback adds some rich harmonics if desired. Check the LFO, Envelope and Macro page for further Modulation sources and targets. The Aetherizer in the FX section adds a beutiful huge space, 4 assigned Macros give you control over various Parameters.

A sample of bubbly sounds made with my mouth very close to the Microphone, sometimes touching it (resulting in mallet like sounds). All 3 Oscillators use that sample in Sample Jump Mode each one with a different sequence in temposynced Retrigger mode, control the Volume of each sequence with the assigned Macro. The samples are processed with Supercombs, their Resonances can be controlled with a Macro, the Filter Feedback is processed by LFO-morphed Frequency Shifters, their pitch assigned to the Modwheel. A Waveshaper and Highpass Filter in the Master section can be controlled with the assigned Macros. The Multitap Delay in the FX section adds temposynced Delays.
