new upload: Could be a Pad

Channels A+B panned hard left/right use a self drawn waveform processed by a Bandpass in key follow mode and a Cloudfilter. The Cloud in Channel B is tuned up an octave. The volumes of Channels A+B are assigned to Macro 3. Channel C in Single mode is processed by a LP Filter, it's resonance modulated by a Frequency Shifter and a LFO-controlled Waveshaper in module C2. Control the Input Gain of the Waveshaper with Macro 5 and the volume of Channel C with Macro 4. In the Master section there is a LPF 4 Pole Filter, control the Cutoff with Macro 6, frequency shifter-modulated feedback with Macro 7 and the frequency of the shifter with Macro 8. With the Macro 8 slider in hard right position it's tuned to a fourth below the main pitch. The Modwheel adds pitchmod to all Channels. The Aetherizer in the FX section has Macros 9-11 assigned, tune up the Grain Cloud an octave with Macro 11. Please check the LFO and envelope pages for more modulation sources and targets.

new upload: Scrape Scape

This patch contains 2 versions:
Scrape Scape 1 (org): The sample of scraping on the edge of a Tamtam with a metal stick is used in Channel A (Sample mode) processed by a tuned Supercomb Filter and a LPF 2 Pole Filter. Control the Comb Feedback with Macro 6 and the Resonance of the LPF with Macro 5. Channel 2 adds a selfdrawn synthetic wave in Fractalize mode run through a Bandpass and a Cloudfilter. Channel C uses another Tamtam sample, irregular hits with a metal stick. It runs in Granular mode, control the sample speed with Macro 1. It is also processed by a tuned Combfilter (Macro 7 for Feedback) and a LPF (Macro 8 for Cutoff). The Ringmodulator in the Master section has a x/y-pad assigned for balance and pitch, vibrato can be added to the Combfilters with the Modwheel and Macro 14 controls the Cutoff of the LPF in the Master section. Macros 2-4 control the individual channel volumes. In the upper regions of this patch weird resonances occur. Check the LFO and envelopes pages for modulation sources and targets.

Scrape Scape 2 (var): This patch uses only the scrape sample in Channels A and B, B is tuned down an octave, The Modwheel controls the Balance of the Cloudfilters which add a fixed tonal texture to the sound by tuning the Filter Grains to Dom7, In Channel A there is also an Allpass Filter (Macro 6 for Resonance and Macro 1 for FIltermod speed). The resonance of the LPF Filter in the Master section is modulated by a Frequency Shifter, Macro 5 controls the FS speed. High FS speeds with the Modwheel fully up yield interesting results.
