"Better Patterns through Better Bussing" (Patching Demo)

YouTube via morbius001
"This is more of a patching-demo than a music video. This demonstrates a patching method I have developed (Well- I've never, EVER heard anyone talk about this patch, nor have I ever heard it played, in the 35+ years I've worked with modular synthesizers). Anyway- put simply, A/B switchable busses control the sequencer's patterns and reset-points."

Frequency-Dividing Q-119 "Q-Torial"

YouTube via morbius001
"No Frequency-Divider? No problem. Here is one, of several techniques, showing how to use an analog stepping sequencer (S.com Q-119) as a great Frequency-Divider... which means, ya don't have to buy one. This technique can be used with a Q960 sequencer... and probably many others. In this technique, 'gate' or 'trigger' signals are NOT used... this uses Control-Voltages!"

Pattern Bussing Demo - (again).mpg

YouTube via morbius001 — June 17, 2010 — "This is NOT a music-video. It's a patching demonstration ONLY.

After more requests for additional info, I've made 'another' "Pattern Bussing" demo. (Sorry- no hi-def or someone to operate the cam for close-ups). I suggest that you simply watch the sequencer lamps and listen to the pattern changes, to get an idea of what this technique can do for you, either LIVE 'on-the-fly', or in the studio.
This patch allows you to change the sequenced patterns heard to many different-sounding patterns, and even changing the time-signatures (and back again) WITHOUT loosing either the 'pulse-sync' between the two Q960's, or the 'time-signature sync', musically speaking... like- changing from a 4/4, to a 6/4, to a 3/4, to a 2/4, and back to any one, including the original 4/4. You can make it sound like you have a large number of 'DIFFERENT' patterns (and you could use these different patterns in different songs, or sections of songs)... and all, "ad-Lib", improvised, on-the-fly, or any way you want.
None of the patching needs to be done DURING the performance... so everything can be preset and tuned, and you can use a written chart for specific changes you may want at specific places in the music.
Yeah... digital sequencers have some advantages, without any doubt. But- none will let you control, and actually 'play the instrument', like this. If you wanted to change the usual patterns played, in an improvisational way, live on stage... a digital will be extremely limiting, only allowing what has been preloaded. With this analog technique, you decide and alter any part, in any way, at any time, backwards, half back & half forward... your creativity is the only limitation.
After many months of experimenting, I found that using only FOUR return buses back to the Master sequencer are needed, even though, from one through eight are possible.
This is not a Moog Modular, but rather a Synthesizers.com Analog Modular system, and I'm using the Q960 Sequencers (2) (clones of Moog's 960). There are several ways and modules which work well for switching the buses. The Q963 is ideal, and to do this, you'll need two Q963's, 'daisy-chained' in series, BOTH connected to the 'SLAVE' Q960.
Other modules that either WILL work, or will LIKELY work (and this would be for using FOUR buses, as I do here): a 'patchable' A/B trigger Bus; two Q149 Signal Selectors; two Q113 Mixers (or four Q112 Mixers); two Q962 Sequential Switches (although there are advantages, there CAN be some unexpected results when used manually); four Multiples (using the switch between the upper and middle jack groups; or- just build your own on a 'blank-panel'.

'Pattern Bussing'

YouTube via morbius001
"This is a demo of a patching technique... a 'Morby-patch' I've devoloped for the Q960 sequencer which allows the performer to selectively alter the reset-points and step sequence, by switching the trigger-gates on a series of trigger-busses."

Yet, Another Pattern Bussing Demo

YouTube via morbius001
"This is only a DEMO showing how easily the anlog-modular Q960 sequencer can be used to change sequence patterns 'on-the-fly', which is especially great for improvisational work. Imagine you have other music-tracks playing (or even other instruments in a band)... and you wish to change-up how the sequence patterns sound... not just 'skipping' notes, but completely re-ordering reset-points. My technique works really well when you're looking for "that feel" that works with what you're doing or hearing at that time."

Next Life Progression

"Just a little sequencer "noodling" (playing around)... using the 'pattern bussing' technique I use to alter the 'reset-points' of the analog modular sequencer. No digital, or soft-synths were used to create this piece."

V2 of Titania's video response to Morbius 'Tweaking Inertia'

YouTube via titaniamuscles. Morbius "Tweaking Inertia". V1 of Titania's reponse.

Update: Comments for the video: "I added some minor parts, re-mixed it with better eq and fixed a bad note where one of the oscillators on my System 100 decided to do it's own thing!! Original text from version 1... After hearing Morbius's awesome sequence called 'Tweaking Inertia' I was inspired to add some synth pads and a lead solo to it. Well, one thing lead to another and I ended up adding drums, synth pads, a lead solo and some analog effects. It all came together rather quickly in one afternoon actually. The video features Morbius with his awesome modular synth from his Youtube clip. The extra footage is a still shot of my studio showing the equipment I used to add the extra parts. Make sure you check out Morbius here on Youtube to see the original track. Search for morbius001 and Tweaking Inertia [link above].
