the goal is like all in one band in a box, where i could make a hip hop beat, d&b style arrangements, ambient drones, and spontaneous melodic improvisations, etc, that includes interesting textures, a full sound, and ability to play with modulations and dynamics.
i do not have a keystep or any other gear. i am a design-head, without any modular funds, presently. both main designs posted have lfos, the loki comes with its own vca, envelope, and filter, and i was playing around with the idea of creating a deeply complex tone, where modulations followed a chorded pattern, on the first rack posted, but i realized i had some naive notions about what modules did, so now the chord is just a 4th melodic voice with cv coming from the brainstep or keystep.
i just would like some general comments about the idea of setting up one rack once in such a way to allow maximum creative potential into the future that can provide a unique sound and enough to fill a full mix.
its not so complex what im trying to do if you just think in terms of lead / bass / rhythm / drums, and then the question becomes, have i given myself enough sequencing controls to 'compose' almost on the fly?
also, the second design is meant to explore off kilter polyrhythms using the tempi to manually set different tempos etc. ... ... ... which maybe might seem more modular, like... each module is on its own manually input and alterable clock, using the op ned to create multiple out of synch arpeggios in the same scale, contrasted to a performable melody on the rene, as syncopated notes.
what id say im really going for is unique performance options. id really like some more feedback on how well yall think that is working on those. claude 3.5 gave the first rack i posted an 8/10 btw. peace out. peace.
