Patch Corner

Pings

Trigger stream -> QPAS input(s)

Set Q to 11:00 or higher. FREQ controls pings' pitch, Q controls decay. RADIATE controls each control two peaks' pitch. Set RADIATE controls full counterclockwise for a simpler sound.

Optional: patch a sine wave to FREQ1 CV Input for FM plucks. Attenuate heavily to start.

Feedback Distortion

VCO -> Left input

LP (L) out -> Monitor

LP (R) out (DUMMY CABLE)

BP or HP Right out -> Freq 1 Input (patch VCA in series if you prefer)

Freq 1 input attenuator and Radiate-R give you fine control over some potentially really nasty overdrive. Set amount with Q control, from "liquid metal" to "decayed rust." This patch works to overdrive filter pings as well if you patch trigger stream to the input.

Spectral Crossfader

Build a 2-voice sequence with René, DPO, and if you want, Optomix. Or use any 2 sound sources.

Voice 1 -> QPAS Left

Voice 2 -> QPAS Right

QPAS LP (L) -> Mixer Ch1

QPAS LP (R) (DUMMY CABLE)

QPAS HP (R) -> Mixer Ch2

Mixer output -> Monitor

The FREQ control will function as a crossfader in addition to filtering the sources.

Transient Resonator

Use a Morphagene Reel with many transients, or significant dynamic variation.

Morphagene Outputs -> QPAS Inputs

MG CV Out -> QPAS Q CV In

HP (L) -> Monitor

Adjust Q to 11:00, attenuator full clockwise.

Set FREQ below 12:00

QPAS will create resonant tails for each transient.
