Synthesist Kip Kubin shared this step by step tutorial on recreating the iconic bell patch Isao Tomita used on his classic 1974 album, Snowflakes Are Dancing.
Kubin demonstrates the patch using a Synthesizers.com Moog format system, but you could use a similar approach with other modular systems.
The following modules are used:
- VCO (3)
- Mixer
- 4 Pole Low Pass Filter
- Envelope Generator (2)
- VCA
Topics covered:
0:55 Signal Flow
2:35 Dialing It In
3:14 Notes
4:22 Alternate Patch Ideas
proving once again; there’s nothing you can’t do with three VCO’s and some other stuff,
great detail work. sounds terrific.
Great video Kip with the patch diagrams and alternate ideas. Sounded wonderful!
