SKY How to Ambient #2 'Weekend Modular' - Modulation & VCAs patch-from-scratch and performance

2nd one in a series looking at different techniques in creating ambient modular pieces. This one is focusing on using a lot of modulation across a sparce and minimalist soundscape, still big and cinematic in places, but sparce. (note: the levels were a bit hot on the performance section so had to use a de-clipping plugin, so quality not as great as original).

What a lovely surprise to wake up to a new patch from scratch from Gary on a Saturday morning! Love these, I learn so much and they’re super relaxing. Thanks Gary!

Once again a very informative patch from scratch, and a nice relaxing performance. You are so right Gary, one cannot make a track like this in 4 mins. Looking forward to more patch from scratch stuff from you. Have a good one my man.
