The ‘Out-Of-Control’ mode
While trying to figure out Beads ‘feedback’ knob, I remembered always having problems with Clouds’ feedback setting. It often went totally crazy so I learned to stay away from it over the years. So I was wondering how sending some ‘delicate’ CV to it would work. I started experimenting with sending gentle LFO modulation to the feedback knob on Beads and was pleasantly surprised by the results. It added a subtle, evolving texture to the sound without going completely off the rails like Clouds often did. It was like transforming wedding rings into wearable art pieces, taking something familiar and giving it a new, exciting twist. I found myself spending hours playing around with different CV settings, discovering the new nuances and possibilities that Beads had to offer.
I tried Maths with a subtle attenuated LFO cycle and got some cool growls and rumbles without letting it get out of hand. It sounded so well, that I couldn’t resist recording and sharing it.
