new upload: Metal Thunder

Oscillators A&B play a sample of a giant Thunder Sheet I recorded in a sculpture park. In Channel A (Sampler mode) that sample is processed by a tuned Comb Filter and a LFO-controlled Lowpass, you can tune the Combfilter down an octave with the Modwheel. The Resonance of the LP FIlter is modulated by a Frequency Shifter, control the Filter Reso with Macro 5 and the pitch of the FQ Shifter with Macro 1. In Channel B the sample runs in Granular mode, sample playhead position/speed controlled by a looped envelope, processed by a Notch Filter. Control the Resonance of the Notch with Macro 6. Channel C adds a synthetic wave processed by a LFO-controlled morphing Waveshaper and an Allpass Filter. Control the Allpass Reso with Macro 7, turning it all the way up yields pretty crazy results. The Input/Distortion amount of the the Waveshaper in the Master section can be controlled with Macro 2, Macros 3+4 control the individual volumes of Channels B&C. The Cutoff of the Lowpass FIlter in the Master section is controllable with Macro 8. The Resonator in the FX section has 4 Macros assigned (9-12). Please check the envelope and LFO pages for further modulation sources and targets.
