Gabriel’s dream
Caution! Flickery video!
An experiment using Cadence in conjunction with a MiRack patch. Cadence patch is just the oscillators (no external inputs, no gates, no oscillator sync - deliberately kept simple). The audio goes into MiRack hosted in AUM on my iPad. MiRack patch uses Marbles, Rings and Clouds. I’ve patched the audio into the input on Rings, and also into the clock inputs on Marbles, Strum on Rings and Trig on Clouds. I’ve patched the outputs from Marbles to the V/Oct of Rings and the Freeze on Clouds, and to modulate Density and Texture on Clouds.
In terms of playing the patch, I’m basically just riding the cutoff frequency on Cadence, which is affecting what the audio sounds like, but also what the modules pick up as clock pulses and triggers.
I’ve added Spatializer and Bark Filter in post, and the video was made in VS and finished in LumaFusion.

I like this subterrainean world you conjure in your creation. It’s great when a piece is supported by interesting imagery too.
Thanks for listening - I’d begun to think this one had sunk without trace 🤣.
I’m finding my patching is becoming more intentional due to working my way through Sarah Belle Reid’s Learning Sound and Synthesis course. My fear was that if I got too knowledgeable my supply of happy accidents would dry up. So far, it’s the opposite. So in this case the idea worked, but what actually came out of it sonically was much more complex and interesting than I thought it would be.
VS is wonderful, though it’s easy to push it too far in terms of processor usage on my iPad 6.
Edgar Varese?
Not deliberately, but I’ve gone through periods where I’ve listened to his work. I wouldn’t claim to be an aficionado, though.
The fact that it brought his work to mind I’ll take as a huge compliment!
Yup.
@bygjohn brings me back to my college days in the 70s when stuff like this was was deeply explored. Not just the music itself but the intellectual ideas behind it. Like the idea of building an instrument (the patch) and then playing it by changing parameters. Great job on both.
@boomer thank you for giving it a whirl, and for your kind words. I’m definitely drawn to early electronic instruments and techniques and applying that stuff to my own work.
Very nice work! So: Cadence is a module?
Thank you!
Cadence is a desktop drone synth/square wave generator. 4 oscillators with frequency dividers (and switchable light sensors), one resonant filter. Switches for syncing the oscillators in pairs. Inputs that can override the oscillators and outputs to use the oscillators as gates, for external processing etc. And it’s a rather fetching blue (call me shallow… but it was part of the attraction 🤣). Inputs and outputs are Eurorack compatible, so you could think of it as a module that doesn’t fit in a rack.
It’s very test equipmenty in some ways, ideal for us Hainbach fans who are too chicken to want to risk frying the rest of our kit…
Steven (DecadeBridge - the maker) has a video of different ways you can use it:
Enjoyed this
@bygjohn : Excellent! Trouble is, now I want one!
Cool sounds!
Thanks for reminding me about VS!
It’s my revenge for my growing Wingie 2 GAS! Mwahahaha!
Seriously, though, the Wingie 2 interest is largely after playing with Cadence through resonators. It’s a nice combo.
Cool
Just realised I’d missed some comments here, so thank you to @scrape @Edward_Alexander and @BerlinFx
Really appreciate people taking the time to listen.
