BLeeDing shalm

This patch-video might remind you at the "PLL Arabesque" video from boobtube356. And yes, indeed there is a PLL involved in this patch as well, but it's not the PLL forming the main character of this patch. You can see and hear that the PLL output initially comes in at about 1:00. What you hear before is just the output from the Cwejman BLD, nothing else (beside some reverb of course).
The BLD is being controlled by an A-155 sequencer. As the BLD has inputs for both Attack rates as well as for both of the Relase rates, these are being driven by a Doepfer A-143-1 Complex envelope generator running in AD-mode. The mixed output of this module also defines the first note of the A-155 sequencer.


The "arabesque" character of this patch mainly comes from a high glide setting of the A-155 sequencers Post-output. The shalm like sound is caused by proper setting of the BLD.

The intermittent "screaming distortion-like" effect is achieved by triggering the sequencer with a clock in audio range (the square output from the PLL) from time to time (switching between PLL-LFO and the A-154 internal clock using a A-150 VCS).

I kept wondering what a "Shalm" was until I realized you meant "Shawm"...

[Beatprisoner]

@DaiReborn I think both words are valid, so "schalm" is a synonym for "schawm".

appropriate use of a nice car's worth of equipment
