Arbhar Harvesting | Part 01 | MakeNoise Mysteron
Arbhar Harvesting Part 01
Hi all, Arbhar is my personal favorite module of 2020 so I am happy to show you how cool it is. Arbhar means ‘Corn’ or ‘Grain’ in Scottish Gaeilic so ‘harvesting’ has a nice ring. I am also a huge fan of granular synthesis, and – again personally – I feel it’s the most musical granular on the market.
So in this series, I am going to pick a sound module and harvest it – the process of extracting the fun out of every module and fill every bit of the buffers. Not sure which modules will be featured, but the next episode will feature Plaits (because of the huge amount of sounds it can make). I am also planning a chapter with the Noise Engineering Loquelic Iteritas and definitely the Manis. But this episode is dedicated to another favorite of mine, the discontinued MakeNoise Mysteron.

Harmonaig Poly | with 3 Plaits & Arbhar
Harmonaig Poly
After building a mono patch with the Harmonaig and Strega, it’s now time to have some fun with three Plaits and the 1v/oct input of Arbhar. Music theory is very valuable when you need to compose something, but with Harmonaig, you can easily get away with not knowing any of it. I used Pressure Points to dial in a progression of four chords and used Marbles to add some variations.

Harmonaig Solo with Strega
Harmonaig Solo | with Strega
The Instruo Harmonaig (harmony) is designed to drive four voices into all kinds of chords and progressions. In this video I am using the Harmonaig to control Strega’s pitch and delay speed into some amazing new sounds.
So when you spend some time with the Witch, don’t forget to mult the pitch CV to the delay time. It’s fun! I’ll use the other two outputs to modulate Strega’s various destinations. Harmonaig gets her pitch CV from two Maths channels (LFO) and Wogglebug random pitch. I am using a middle eastern scale to make the patch it a bit more exotic.

Reel Life | Instruo Lubadh Part 02 | Grand Theft Audio
Instruo Lubadh – Grand Theft Audio
With the Expert Sleepers ES-8 as an audio interface, I can basically grab and rip any audio on my PC so there’s a huge potential for samplers, granulators and loopers. But there’s also the risk of getting a copyright claim when you record/sample something that’s owned by a big name or label and decide to upload it. I know some artists have large teams protecting their works. The economy of music is changing and the audience expects music to be free. But you can’t create a great new album if you can’t even break even.
So if you ever copy original sound sources, make sure you use it fair and transformative.
