Processing the field recording of an arriving train with a Kaleidoscope preset from the patchpool subscription series, further processing the resulting drone with audio effects like NI Molekular, Valhalla ÜberMod, 2CAudio B2 and accSone crusher X. Tweaked live on video which starts dry...

Here comes a first (rather strange) demo for the upcoming set no. 16:

Two field recordings I made in downtown Tokyo, each one processed by it's dedicated instance of Kaleidoscope and each one using a preset from set 16.

Two Kaleidoscope presets from the upcoming set in action, processing urban field recordings I gathered in Tokyo.

Four instances of Kaleidoscope with different/poly-rhythmic groove patterns
(presets from the upcoming set), two of them use the internal noise generator to excite the resonators, one is using an urban field recording and one is processing a simple Zebra pad.

Four instances of Kaleidoscope using presets from the upcoming set no. 16 in a minimal groove scape - some volume automation, input sources are brown noise/ocean waves and an urban field recording with traffic noises and voices. Some volume automation and external FX (B2/Reverbical/Soundtoys FX rack/MXXX).

Five instances of Kaleidoscope with 5-8 based groove patterns, crossfading between the sequences live on video, input source is the internal white noise generator in KS.

And the last demo for this set - what a kaleidoscopic weekend...

Five instances of Kaleidoscope using 5 presets from set no. 61 in an ambient soundscape sort of cosmic thing. Input sources for Kaleidoscope are ocean waves, an urban field recording and a noisy Photosounder texture.

Here come the release notes for subscription set 16:

There are quite a lot of rhythmical patches - also polyrhythms and odd time signatures - in this set, then I am experimenting with tempo-synced pulsations/perforations, various ramp shapes and more. The images are all abstract this time, two tuning files extracted from guitar harmonics, some nice tonal ones, waveforms extracted from sound sculptures, e-bow and percussion sounds. Tonal new-age soundscapes meet weird and surreal textures, tinkling stars get swallowed by ominous drones, I could go on but hear for yourself…

This set contains:

74 Presets
34 images
5 tuning files
6 waveforms

The entire subscription library now includes 1106 presets - 615 images - 81 tuning files - 96 waveforms.

My fascination for Kaleidoscope doesn't cease so stay tuned...

Three instances of Kaleidoscope using three presets from the upcoming subscription set no. 17 in an expressionistic textural atmosphere. Input sources are two different modulated noise drones and an urban field recording which also contains some human voices.

Stepping though some presets from set no. 17 using two modulated noise drones as audio input, some Reverbical reverb and one of my MXXXXCore presets are processing KS, I had the DAW buffer a bit too low so there is some CPU-related crackling on the video:

Four instances of Kaleidoscope using 4 presets from the upcoming set no. 17 - with images of the Northern Sea shaping the resonances excited by a field recording of some ocean waves and vocal speech which fades in and out. The sends from the ocean waves to the KS busses are automated over time, some Reverbical and Sandman are providing the reverbs.

Three instances of Kaleidoscope using three presets from set no. 17 - all of them processing the same field recording of passing traffic recorded on a bridge. Some Reverbical/B2 and Sandman Pro are providing the space to fly in.

First: another video demo for set 17 - Stepping through some presets with tempo-synced ambient pad sounds, input source is a white noise drone.

and the release info for set 17:

Kaleidoscope Subscription Set 17, uploaded on October 19th - 2016 containing:

*70 Presets
*24 images
*4 tuning files
*5 waveforms

This set contains some warped images taken at the Northern Sea, tuning files derived from field recordings I made in Tokyo (two vocalists and a Koto playing traditional Japanese music) and Shanghai (Chinese violin played by a blind virtuoso in a subway entrance), waveforms extracted from samples of a giant sound sculpture made from hoover tubes, abstract fractal images, cosmic nebulae and tempo-synced sequences. The 70 presets cover a wide range from tempo-synced ambient pad sounds to microtonal textures to orchestral soundtracks. Have a good flight…

----

The subscription library now contains 1176 presets - 639 images - 85 tuning files - 101 waveforms.

After som konfusion getting everthing loaded properly I now have the set 17 loaded. Have spent a lot of time trying just Synced material with some Iris and Chromaphone patches, but they don't really meld convincingly the Kaleidoscope sound is really of another world. I suspect the ArcSyn Arrows sounds might work well with as they are all somehow off the planet too. Otherwise there's effects like Molekular and DNA. I speculate that crossfaded passages between tweaked versions of the same Kaleidoscope sound might be fruitful. Lots to explore here in the pool of patches..

Thanks for your hard work!

I'm going to get back to my experimenting with set 17..

Spent a lot of time setting up a mega complicated Numerology Pro 4 project to expand one set 17 kaleidoscope sounds speed and harmonic root note variation, I've loaded 12 different snippets 6 transpositions of the root key and then adjusted the speed and transposed that 6 times from set 17 ramp/synced sound. These sounds are being fed 2 or 4 at a time into three different instances of NI's Molekular loaded with heavily modified DNA patches I'm spending more time with Molekular and the DNA patches to try and get a better grasp of whats happening and trying to get a sweet balance between the effected sound and the original Kaleidoscope sound. Additionally there is an ArcSyn Arrows patch and an Iris sound that adds a little variation.This track is not ready yet.. maybe will stay just a wild learning experience,... But as a relief from all the tweaking and tweedling of knobs I made a track using a single sound from Kaleidoscope Subscription set 17 and a single sound from Arcsyn Arrows and two instances of 2C B2. Additionalyl I worked with some Fab Filter Saturn Distortion on the ArcSyn Arrows patch.
