I’m definitely a novice when it comes to feedback patches. I have only done a small handful, and recorded even fewer. After happing upon a very nice sounding feedback patch by Pete on the Make Noise YouTube channel and staring at my newly set up Make Noise synth, I decided to see what I might be able to accomplish. I didn’t set out with any goal in mind other than to explore feedback without blowing my headphones or ears in the process. I didn’t really set out to record this patch, even if I did. That’s one major advantage of routing everything through AUM; recording any patch is only ever one press in AUM away.
Although I was inspired by Pete’s patch, there is a small difference. Rather than monitoring from Mimeophon’s stereo outputs, I’ve reversed the I/O between modules, monitoring from QPAS’ Left and Right LP outputs. The core of the patch is very simple. The Left LP output from QPAS to a mult. One copy to Mimeophon’s Left input; the other copy to the output mixer. Mimeophon’s L output to QPAS’ Left input.
A few sources for modulation were used throughout, most notably Maths and Wogglebug, with an assist from some QPAS-ian self-pleasure via patching the Left HP output to a highly attenuated Frequency CV input.
Modules Used:
