Seeing as you guys like that last one so much, here is more in a similar vein. This is my first experiment using Numerology with a Novation Launch Pad, the whole thing was composed live in one go.

Have fun.

Holy crap Justin! That's one of my faves by you evar... you like just killed cinematic ambient completely. Awesome stuff sir.

Can you geek out for a bit and give us some more details on the equipment/process?

Very nice sounds, and it feels well-balanced compositionally and sonically. Also, SF2 reference makes me giggle

Oh, come on now Matt! I'm blushing!

The Street Fighter 2 reference is actually not mine, the primary sound source is this...

It's a wave table oscillator with 16 banks (hither) of 16 waves (yon). You have a bunch of options for interpolation between the waveforms and you can even use an external audio source to drive the wave tables which results in a really lofi waveshaping effect.

Basically, I'm using my Launch Pad with Numerology to create and manipulate midi sequences on the fly. The Launch pad allows me to navigate almost every aspect of Num2.3 without using a mouse or looking at my monitor. Those sequences control the pitch of the oscillator, the state of the wavetable, the filter cutoff, envelope depth and envelope shape.

I also recently purchased a TC Fireworx (for a rediculous price) which is doing all the effects duty here (just a dual filtered delay and a dense reverb here), I'm also controlling the delay parameters from Numerology via the Launch pad.

Fun on a bun.

Yeah, I know how you hate gear talk. That PH sounds fantastic. Was gonna ask about the reverb as well... so what version of the fireworx is it, and are you impressed with the fx so far?

As stated elsewhere, this is pretty cool. The depth and spacious quality are top notch, and there is real sense of horror film-like dread in the opening minute or so.

thru the asteroid belt alright. This is really cool. I wonder if Live could do this kind of approach ?

Thanks guys!

@Poly: I didn't know there was more than one version, I think it has the latest firmware if that's what you mean. It's like a poor man's Eventide. The effects are great but of course, it's a pain in the ass to program form the front panel. With midi control it's not so bad though.

Sounding good!

I'm really itching for the Piston Honda expansion board.

Lovely effects and a very peaceful atmosphere. Almost DVOA-ish in style. Sounds like a good box to have. Amazing sounds/sound design.
