Dark Ambient Patch

You can watch Dark Ambient on YouTube here

NOTE FOR THIS PATCH TO WORK WITH THE BASIC WAV PLAYER YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE SAMPLE FROM THE FOLLOWING LINK AND PLACE IT IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS THE PATCH:

Sample rate required to run: 32khz

This patch blends an amplitude modulated violin sample with a drone and a filtered noise patch. Gratuitous amounts of delay and reverb make this a great palette for generating dark ambience.

External Audio Path:
-Main audio inputs on channels 1 and 2
-Main audio outputs on channels 1 and 2

Internal Audio Path:
-Main audio inputs run into a Normals for switching with Basic Wav Player
-Basic Wav player runs into a Normals for switching with external audio input
-Output of Normals is fed into DLD and then the main mixer
-A VCO and VCF are combined into a droning synth voice and then sent to the main mixer
-A noise source and bandpass filter are sent to the main mixer
-The mixer is ran into a Valley Plateau reverb
-An attenuator is placed after the Plateau as a master volume control, so that you can drive the Reverb and allow it to distort without clipping your speakers

Internal CV Path:
-A triangle LFO modulates the speed of a second triangle LFO
-The LFO is offset a few volts so that it is a non zero value, and then slew limiting is applied
-The slewed LFO is used as a master modulation source to control the filter cutoff of the drone, volume for the Basic Wav Player/external audio, and panning for all three stems
