Marbles Not Marbles
What I intended to do and what I actually did!
Today I was going to try and learn Marbles (Antumbra Cara) a bit better. I’ve already used it a few times and watched quite a few in depth videos but that is different to really understanding a module like this which continues to make my brain boggle! I also have Cara which is a Mini Marbles clone where the layout is different. Mastering Cara will be a key component of making the most of this case I think.
But I didn’t get far as I instead just moved into my “zen” learning mode of randomly patching things together and working by ear which is much more fun!
Black Wavetable VCO → Pico MOD
// Wave CV Modulated
Viol Ruina → Pony VCO FM → VCF SSI → Tone → Dual Delay -> Clouds
// Ruina Filter and Pony Timbre Modulated
Black VCO / Ruina / Clouds all pitched from marbles.

Here are the last three and a half minutes of my recording…
Discovered the other day in the black vco manual, there's an internal vca, so you could patch mod straight into CV ( change in settings)
Channel the zen 🕺
The histograms in the manual are pretty helpful if you haven't already seen :

Marbles is pretty deep !
