Patching Voyager 1

Metamere

The Challenge posted on the Deluge Discord group for April 2024 was to make an ambient drone track, and to share some new patches. I wanted to see if the new effects in the Community Firmware v1.1 Beta were up to it, and they seemed to be! I crafted three original Deluge patches, and that’s all I used to generate the sounds for the track. I used the Keystep 37 to do some note input and live tweaking of volume level, LPF cutoff, LPF resonance, and grain effects for the different clips. I did some editing in Audacity to mellow out some of the resonance-induced volume spike issues both on the low end and high end. It’s a bit less dynamic, but a lot more pleasant overall.
