In an attempt to get the kick/snare to stand out and not get buried by the other voices, I looked for a way to do side-chain compression — in other words, lowering the volume of the other voices when the kick/snare hit. Turns out Mutable Instruments Streams module has a compressor mode that does the trick.
mother tuesday
In this patch, a module named “Tuesday” from the company This Is Not Rocket Science is sending its pitch, gate, and accent out to a Moog Mother-32 (with the accent being fed into the resonance input), through a Pico DSP and on to a Rainmaker. Nebulae adds some ambience, and a Varigate 8+ triggers a Basimilus Iteritas Alter. Everything is being sent through an Erbe-Verbe.
