Caustic 3 experimentations again.
A short demo, using formant filter in ModularSynth send to Vocoder and custom 3 band parallel comp for drums.(STOVM inside;-)
Lead synth is a Bassline chopped with pattern automation.
14 machines in this one...

Wow man, you raise the bar once again with a fantastic track. While I tend to generally disagree with the necessity of a 3+ band comp for a mobile application, I can hear how it makes your drums come out with a bit more definition in this style of music in your song.
Yeah I hear that sneaky modulated delay effect you threw in there in the middle -- nice trick...
If you didn't say your lead was a BL, I would have guessed SubSynth -- awesome work there.
Ok, I gotta give a
EIPSO Thumbs Up on this one -- well done sir
Thank you Jason! I will not use this 3bands trick a lot but in some situations, it can save your .... And it prevent me from adding 3 more tracks ;-)
Shhhh now don't tell Rej about how we used Cubase and Nuendo's 5-band Comp in our past lives..... or was that WaveLab
that was a fun tool to play with and mutilate noise for our stereo-sonic pleasure 
so cool..love it love it.
super fine track.. sounds so professional....
Hey guys,
I'm not a professional musician and not so familiar with specific terms.
Can you explain what's that 3 band comp is and what STOVM.

Nice trick with the vocoder and formant filter. I'm currently testing some ideas in working the other way around, feeding a format filter with words from a vocoder. I hope to restore some vowels and emulate more natural singing. It's fun but takes a lot of time and patients. Nice track by the way :-)
STOVM is just a joke, an acronim invented by user Wardini see the post here (and enjoy the track): http://www.singlecellsoftware.com/node/2410.
It was about variable LFO speed trick for the Modular synth. You will find a Caustic file example here: http://www.singlecellsoftware.com/node/2343.
A 3 band compressor or multiband compressor: To make a long story short, it's like having 3 or more compressor, each one acting only on a specific frequency band (bass, mid, treble). Caustic doesn't have a build-in multiband comp, but I've found a trick using the vocoder to emulate this behaviour: http://www.singlecellsoftware.com/comment/14251#comment-14251
Just curious: How do you manage to route a vocoder to a formant filter in Caustic?
Ohh, that's the easy part. Just select a modular as carrier;-)
Hahaha see what Skarabee started? Now everybody here gonna see what we can shove thru the Vocoder now..... I did something running through three vocoders in a serial chain..... CPU didnt choke yet... Did that on my recent PocketKitPro demo track......
Fun times indeed...
Oh, yes, I see: you mean using modular with formant filter as carrier and a sampled voice as modulator, right? Good idea!
Wait.... If you use the Modular as the carrier then you are not able to use your sample, as only one feed can be used at a time in the vocoder, right? Because I tried it before and failed.
Oh ok I just figured it out...... Yeah that is awesome! Im going to have some fun with that for sure...
So polished and shiny! and 14 machines! damn, idk if that's a normal standrd for this productions but that's... too much for me :/
In fact, all the 14 machines are not playing all together. Some are used just once in the song (hits, wobble), some are vocoders (modulator + vocoder mean 2 slots but only one sound) and 3 are used just to feed the compressors. There are really seven continuous active channels.
Here it would be good to have a extra module that could load a small sample...
I am insisting to have a small sample module in the modular would be a good thing. As you could also use single cycle waveforms as extra "oscillators" etc.
This is the time the night and the year
