Chordal Elements

Exploring Mutable Instruments Elements "chords" mode to create sequences.

Mutable Instruments Elements firmware 1.1 aka "Ringified Elements" included two new alternative synthesis models for the resonator section—a non-linear string model and chords. With the chords model, the resonator is a bank of 6 comb filters, tuned to the different notes of a chord. GEOMETRY selects the chord type.

So that’s what I’ve been looking at today—modulating GEOMETRY in order to produce sequences in combination with the MALLET control which changes the stuttering and repeats by switching between different sounds. A steady gate is provided from Pam’s New Workout, all pitch information comes from Elements.

There’s a lot to explore here and in Elements generally, it’s a fabulous deep module.

Patch Notes

1. Elements (Antumbra Atom) Chords Mode

   GEOMETRY → pitch sequence

   MALLET → stuttering and repeats

2. Befaco Pony provides bass pulse

3. FX from Dual Looping Delay and Clouds
