Generative Patches + Patterns – Probability

«Probability» is a collection of 20 generative patches + patterns. This genre of sound design is very popular inside modular culture, and Crave suggests a good set of features to enter this club.

Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo break, pattern uniqueness, short and long sounds alternation, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and fx-like tones, freaky splashes during a sequence – all these things are included in the soundset.

Turning to the Dark Side

The ARP 2600 has been on my bucket list since I was a kid but I don’t think I’d ever buy a dusty 70’s classic for 10K. I have room nor budget for it (or the Korg reissue) either. So when this particular 2600 came out, I could not resist. It feels a bit like turning to the Dark Side. But we just can’t blame the devil for every guilty pleasure we give in to.
