That’s a txn/nearness mixer between JF and TT, which will either get used as a final mixer or as submix for the individual outputs of JF. I’d gone back and forth about whether having 3 w/ was overkill in a small system, but realtime loop/tape music composition and unconventional sequencing is what I like about modular so I kept all 3. I keep the two on the left as a constant pair to use together and the one of the right as an aux delay/looper for whatever I need. I’ve talked in length about my w/ usage in the past over in the w/ thread, but my go-to patch these days has changed a bit:
-I’ll mult a mono audio source (rhythmic sources are especially fun) into two different w/ with different loop lengths, turn off monitoring, send a 5v offset into THAT so you are only hearing one pass at a time. If I want more density of sound I’ll modulate that offset down to wherever, just keeping it positive. Between messing around with different loop lengths and source material there is plenty here to keep me busy. You can monitor it in stereo or mix together back to mono.
These days I’m almost always sending the w/ outputs into my Moog gear, especially now that I’m relying on JF as my main voice. I, honestly, don’t love the sound of JF, but running it through the Moog mixer and ladder filter gives it a little more life. The square wave out sounds decent, and I do like the sine wave with intone FM tuned just right, but the saw just doesn’t work for me and I’m a huge fan of saw waves in general. Still love the workflow of Just Type and knowing that I’m in tune no questions asked when jamming with other folks.
I don’t really use Cold Mac any consistent way, it fills so many roles I try to use it as the patch calls for it. Panning, mixing, vca, compression, offsets, patch surveillance. I really dig the location circuit modulating things. My old go-to CM+W/ patch was single w/ to panning section of cold mac out to the two other w/ in stereo. With a really slow triangle LFO modulating survey/fade and long, drastically different loop lengths on w/s, thats a pretty good base for an ambient patch.
While I don’t have any soundclips readily available of this current set up with Just Friends, my last two EPs (Terrace and Steep Way) have multiple w/ all over it. Feel free to check them out.
