I don’t fully recall how I made this patch. It was completely unplanned, and patching was a fairly stream of consciousness-like affair. I do remember taking advice from the always wonderful Elaine on YouTube in his patch using Dradd, suggesting that it’s beneficial to allow Dradd space to breathe by not modulating it, or at least not too heavily. In this patch I chose the “not at all” route (even if there are cables plugged in).
This patch started life as a sequence, but rather than allowing the sequence to be a melody, I sampled it in Morphagene which forms the ever shifting bed of pads, and also played the sequence through a completely wet Dradd for some looping/granular action. After a bit, Mimosa makes its entrance and slowly starts to overtake the signal until it’s blown out by distortion at the end.
To date this is my favorite patch that I’ve recorded. The beauty of Mimosa stands strong, front and center. Performed and recorded in 1 take in AUM via the Expert Sleepers ES-9.
