Nine Lives | Generative Ambient Synth Jam ft. STEPIC

A generative space ambient track that I came up with while exploring the possibilities of STEPIC, a sequencer plugin for Ableton Live by Devicemeister.
The track uses 9 instances of STEPIC, hence the title "nine lives" ;-). Only the drum part was programmed in Ableton, no other midi data or live playing involved this time.
Synths used:
- Korg Minilogue XD
- Sequential Prophet 6
- Novation Summit
- Moog Grandmother
- Moog Matriarch
Eurorack System:
- Electrosmith 3340 analog VCO into Rossum Evolution Filter
- Strymon Magneto (processing audio from Moog Grandmother, clocked via cv from Ableton)
- boredbrain OPTX to receive CV from Ableton/STEPIC and send audio via ADAT to Audiointerface (Prismsound Titan)
- Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter
- WMD Fracture
- Cosmotronic Delta-V
- NC Triple Sloth for subtle filter modulation (x-Channel only)
- DivKid Ochd for heavy modulation of Fracture (Spread, Freq, Density, Reverb)
- Doepfer A-180-9 to connect both Moogs to the Eurorack via RJ45
Other:
- Kawai MP11 SE Stage Piano
Drums:
- Ableton Live Stock Samples
Audio programming and recording in Ableton Live 11.
Video recorded with Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k.
All put together in DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.

I can only highly recommend to give STEPIC a try. It is an awesome piece of software that is easy to use and gets you results in no time - without the need to deepdive into manuals.
Thanks for stopping by,

This takes the lead for being the most impressive synth orchestration video that I've ever seen.

[@collinember]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@the_astro_garden]

Lovely! Just what the morning needed…

[@cybernaumemusic]

This i so cool! I wish I (had) found this earlier.

[@collinember]

Thank you!

[@midibitch]

Great Track. 💜
Stepic is a very handy tool. Using it since some weeks, after I saw Martín Stürtzer using it.

[@collinember]

Thank you! - same here, I also first saw it in Martin's video and had to try it.

[@devicemeister]

Awesome track and truly inspirational! Thanks for sharing 🙏❤️

[@collinember]

Thanks a lot - much appreciated. And thanks for programming such an amazing software!

[@devicemeister]

@@collinember Thanks for the kind words. Projects like these really inspire and motivate me. It makes me happy to see Stepic being used this way!

[@BradRossMacLeod]

Stepic is pretty amazing! Would love to see a 'making of' to see how you're using those instances of Stepic. Just fantastic!

[@collinember]

Thanks Brad. Will think about making a short walkthrough.

[@BradRossMacLeod]

@@collinember Even screenshots of the Stepic setups would give insight into how the track is working.

[@Iain2000]

I second that request. What an amazing track Collin. Great use of Stepic. Is the track a fully random track? i.e. if you run it again would it sound different… how much is random and how much controlled?

[@collinember]

@@Iain2000 It is not a fully random track, but it was heavily randomized with Stepics note and automation randomization. It's been a while, and the setup actually doesn't exist anymore, so I cannot offer a walkthrough for this one, but new tracks with new Synths (Hydra Deluxe and Sequential Pro 3) are on their way, and I will soon publish a new random track with Stepic and I can certainly do a walkthrough for the new ones.

[@shadowfall2823]

Cool track, I liked watching/listening to this!

[@collinember]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@eddy_sonik]

🔵⚪🔴 I LOVE ! 👍👍👍

[@SebticSmile]

Sounds beautiful! That Septic, I mean Stepic looks awesome - if I ever go back to making music with the computer I'll check it out!

[@collinember]

Thanks Sebtic. Yeah - I can only recommend to do so. Looks like it will actually replace my hardware sequencers for now.

[@SebticSmile]

@@collinember yeah, I wish I could make music with my computer but as I'm in front of the thing all day it's a blessed relief to escape it!

[@Banquet...]

Awesome track!

[@collinember]

Thank you!

[@lowfunk1]

Absolut epischer Sound 😎

[@collinember]

Vielen Dank! 🧡

[@awpMusic1]

Loved this - looking forward to hearing more of your work.

[@collinember]

Thanks - new tracks are soon to come

[@Keilnoth]

Stepic is amazing! I should explore it more...

[@collinember]

Absolutely - it's an awesome piece of software and a very friendly & helpful developer behind it.

[@v1s10nray]

That was great, really enjoyed the track. You've achieved the kind of sound that I am striving for with Stepic. I've only just bought it and I'm still trying to get my head around it but what great fun it is ! Thanks for showing me what's possible.

[@collinember]

Thanks Ray for your feedback. Good to hear the track inspires you.

[@thecyclerepeating3226]

Amazing video! Subbed!

[@collinember]

Thank you!
