I wanted a compact envelope module, and, after a significant amount of research, I settled on the Michigan Synth Works Pique 1.1. Although some alternatives may be more ergonomic or usable, I was drawn to the alternative modes such as Drum and the phase-locked loop.
Although I bought it for envelope generation, of course the first thing I tried was the split drum mode. In the track above, I’m sequencing the module with an Arturia Beatstep. I’ve multed the bass drum to have a dry signal and a signal run through the Pittsburgh Filter on my East Beast. The snare drum runs through the Doepfer Wasp filter. At times, the LFO is modulating the frequency cutoff via the CV2 input. At first, I have the gate from the Beatstep input to the LFO, but I remove that modulation around the three-minute mark.
A recent Reddit Austin post asks about a man who sold decorative fish made out of Bondo on Austin roadsides. “Bondo Fish” sounded like a song title to me. According to the post, this is an example of a Bondo fish. Apparently, it’s being used to decorate a coffee room.
