Model:Cycles is only used on the two tracks with percussion, and even then it’s being very heavily processed through my modular with a lot of distortion and eq going on. It’s a very nice little bit of kit though, especially for the price.
Fantastic. Something about the way that things are distorted makes the tracks seem close and far away at the same time… like things are buzzing and rumbling outside and INSIDE your space helmet. If that makes sense.
Fantastic… I am looking forward to giving this a proper listen. A subject matter close to my own heart. For years I lived in Hutchinson, KS, (about an hour’s drive from here), where stood the Kansas Cosmosphere, a space museum and a Smithsonian relic restoration facility. It was free to residents and only a short walk from my house. There, one could peruse the largest collection of Soviet space flight artifacts on display outside of Moscow (along with such historic US relics as The Liberty Bell capsule and the actual Apollo 13 capsule). A great place to visit, soak up some atmosphere and contemplate. Why is this place in a small town in Kansas? I don’t know. But it is. And I loved it.
Great observation. I made a lot of use of the Acidbox 3’s filter to add a lot of that buzzing and stuff, somewhat to get the effect you describe, but also to emulate the imperfect brilliance of the Soviet technology of the time.
Im lucky enough to live a few miles from the National Space Centre in Leicester. There’s a complete Soyuz in there with all 3 modules still intact (because it never actually went into space). It’s a hell of a piece of engineering, amazing that they’re still in use after more than 50 years.
