Caustic Warriors Collaboration: Community Jam Round 4 - "Modularity"

Alright, let's all line up for the next installment of Caustic Warriors Collaboration:  Community Jam #4!

There was a suggestion in the thread for Community Jam #3 to use only Modular & Beatbox Synths for this jam, which I think sounds like a fun challenge, plus it will help us sharpen our skills especially with the Modular Synth.

<Details on the general idea at the end of this post>

RULES:

  • Majority of folks interested in this jam are using the Caustic beta, so that's what we're going to roll with.
  • Use either a Modular Synth, or a Beatbox Synth.
  • Each person can use 1 FX slot
  • Players can only use automation to craft their sound on the machine itself (cutoffs, ASDRs, Res, etc.), otherwise, and on their 1 insert effect, otherwise, no other automation allowed.
  • The person mastering the final mix gets to use whatever FX they want to apply to any of the 14 open FX slots, as well as the 2 open slots in the mastering section
  • 3 days per person (please try and stick to this)
  • No 2nd round
  • Person mastering the final product gets the freedom to adjust anyone's machine automation as they see fit

Let me know where you want to be in the list.

1.  TYRINASOARUS - CommunityJam4CW1 - 3/20/2014
2.  Caustic Replay - CommunityJam4CW2 - 3/23/2014
           (Tyrinasoarus's delay fix attempt:  CommunityJam4CW2TT - 3/24/2014)
3.  MadFishGuy - CommunityJam4CW3 - 3/24/2014
4.  Hatarakimasu - CommunityJam4CW4 - 3/25/2014
5.  Strange Gravity - CommunityJam4CW5 - 3/26/2014
6.  Mindfool - CommunityJam4CW6 - 3/29/2014
7.  James - CommunityJam4CW7 - 4/3/2014
8.  Bad Ickaruzz - CommunityJam4CW8 - 4/7/2014
9.  TheZEROProject - CommunityJamCW9 - 4/15/2014
10.  gajoga - CommunityJamCW10 - 4/20/2014
11.  RadioRev - CommunityJamCW11 - 4/24/2014
12.  HerveB - CommunityJamCW12 - 4/28/2014
13.  jeraste - CommunityJamCW13 - 4/29/2014
14.  Logical Frank - CommunityJamCW14 - 5/2/2014
15.  k5grind - CommunityJam4CW15 - 5/14/2014

The general idea of what we're trying to do here (copied from the 1st Community Jam post):

Get 14+1 Caustic Warriors lined up to put a track together.  The way it works is the first person adds a machine to Caustic, creates patterns, and adds it to the sequencer.  Then the second person does the same thing, and so on down the line.  When all 14 machine slots have been filled, then the +1 (15th) person mixes and masters it all.  Caustic Replay then uploads it to SoundCloud under the username "Caustic Collaboration", and tags everyone's name to the track, and finally updates this initial post with a link to the final product on SoundCloud.

3.1 beta, community jams and the left outs.

As a lurker I always enjoyed following the community jams - listening, learning and generally admiring the creativity of the participants. But, now all the cool kids are working exclusively in the 3.1 beta leaving the Caustic 3.0 IOS crowd behind, so we can't enjoy all your efforts. It's frustrating and adding to it there doesn't seem to be any 3.1 release date information available either, so I guess patience rules the day.

Hey Tyrinasoarus, would it be possible to do the thing over in the released Caustic 3.0 version, so that iOS users can play too?

@caustic replay

Can I ask that the current mp3 you have in the original post be named the same when you update it? I'm not sure if that is what you are doing but as a pre maintenance nightmare keeping the server clean by doing this would help me out in the future.

And any other time you can use the same file it would be appreciated.

I was matching the ogg name to the current caustic file name, but if you want the ogg/mp3 name to remain the same the entire time, no problem.

I'll upload the file named "communityjam4.ogg" from here on out for this jam.

ug, I have the opposite problem from the iOS users. All of my devices are running 3.1. All the stuff I've been working on is in 3.1. Duneview, were you going to participate? I have to ask, how many iOS users are reading this and feel left out? I'm not trying to invalidate the issue, but I will be reluctant to down grade because you unable to passively observe.

Yes, I've been tinkering with the Modular all day today... I get over ambitious and have ended up scrapping and starting over more than I have saved presets. And it's not frustrating! This round is looking to be a true test of skill, as it's too easy NOT to create a simple sound...

As for the Caustic version... I still have 3.0 on the laptop, though I plan to grab BETA2 for Windows...
However I'm thinking maybe you could install both on a Windows machine, circumventing the BETA vs Stable issue... But I'd really really prefer to do this with the current BETA. I know there are two new additions to the Modular,but if one were to not use Machine Input or K35 Low pass, would there still be an issue when loading the Modular on 3.0?

Okay, so I popped in a new Modular and used his notes with a preset I made last night. Seems to be just fine, but again, none of the components on the CR Throttle seem to be adjusted to make such delay. I'm puzzled and confuzzled.

Do you guys want to continue

I removed 2 components from my preset, 2 delays that I was using to simulate the width control in the main mixer.  I think it helped a little.  Here's the file.  If you guys like it, I'll link it in the initial post and we can get this party back on track.
