"Wherefore and Who For" [mp3 removed -- tune is now on Bandcamp]

Continuing with this series of 3 min. all-Octatrack-and-Eurorack tunes.
This is less crunchy than "House Dwellers"; more analog filtering was used.
The Doepfer A-112 module's sample rate control was used to make the sped-up spacy "sweeps" that occur throughout.
The LFO'd, filtered cymbals in the middle section use the Octatrack's inboard FX.
The main melodies are WMD's Gamma Wave wavetable oscillators, tuned a few semitones apart, independently CV-WT-swept, mixed together, and filtered.
No analog oscillators were used - it's all analog processed digital, re-sampled and arranged in the Octatrack.

"House Dwellers" [mp3 removed -- tune is now on Bandcamp]

All-Octatrack-and-Eurorack rendition of a House-like tune.
This is pretty crunchy, what with all the low-bit-depth and low-sample-rate sampling going on.
Am happy with the way this came together, using the Octatrack to MIDI-trigger and sample 1- to 4-bar motifs that are layered and arranged.
One modular synth riff was borrowed from "Soul Fusion Disassembly," the rest was recorded yesterday.

Returning to all-Octatrack-and-Eurorack tunes:

"Soul Fusion Disassembly (Minimal)" [mp3 removed]

I hope this doesn't mean I have to start wearing pilgrim shoes.

"Soul Fusion Disassembly (Shark)" [mp3 removed]

Weaves in a modified sampled riff made with the Reaktor Shark softsynth. Funk meets dork.
Both versions feature an A7B (actual '70s breakbeat).

"Modular Conveniences 2" [mp3 moved to Vimeo]

"Modular Conveniences" [mp3 removed]

"Kick Effects" [mp3 moved to Bandcamp]

Short tunes (sort of on the noise tip) done with modular synth (or synth module) and used in recent videos.

"Retro Synth Fantasy" [mp3 moved to Bandcamp]

Was testing out a new sound card and wanted to strain the connection, so this tune has fast parts, MIDI echo, and gratuitous high powered flanging. (The card passed.)
Also, this is done in 3/4 with slightly uneven measures.
The synth is Retrologue, a softsynth that ships with Cubase. Basically I like anything with chords.

Update: minor tweak near the end; reuploaded.
