Overview
A simple techno patch using BIA and Peaks for Sound Sources, some modulation, and a Korg SQ-1. Other than the OUT from the ADM10 Kompressor, all other patch cables that start or end outside of the rack are those involved with the SQ-1. The patch is based on ideas presented by James Cigler in his BIA "how-to" video: .

Playing the Patch
Adjust the following to achieve variety and interest:
- Mix3 Kick Drum Volume (Channel 2)
- Quad VCA Channel 1 Volume
- Quad VCA Channel 1 CV Depth
- Mother 32 EG (sent to BIA Attack Rate and Quad VCA Channel 1 CV
- BIA Register (start in Bass but can change later on)
- BIA Algorithm (start in Skin but can change later on)
- BIA Spread, Harmonic, Morph (start CCW), and Fold
- Peaks Knob 2: FM Intensity
- Peaks Knob 3: FM and AM envelope decay time
- Peaks Knob 4: Colour
- Mother 32 Sequence Reset

Korg SQ-1 Parameters

  • 16-note sequence A
  • CV's are simple: all knobs are CCW except 4-8 which are at 12 o'clock and 11-12 which are just past 9 o'clock
  • Duty Cycle = CCW
  • Receives clock from Channel 1 of Tempi and Sends clock to Mother 32

Peaks Parameters

  • Expert mode with Alternative DRUM function, FM DrumSynth
  • Receives trig from Mother 32 Assign output, which is set to trigger at half the clock rate coming into M32 from SQ-1

Mother 32 Parameters

  • Mother 32 sends what are usually Gates to the Quad VCA Channel 1 CV Input, but can adjust the envelope of the Gate with Attack/Decay Knobs and Sustain Switch
  • ASSIGN Out is in Value #3, so it outputs a +5V Gate at half the input clock rate
  • There is a 16-step sequence programmed in, pitches dont matter but there is a rhythm created by a combination of Gate ON and OFF steps
  • x = Gate On; o = Gate off
  • oxoo-xoxo-xoox-ooxo
