Behringer Edge+Crave - EC Generative (25 Patches + 25 Crave Patterns + Wav Samples) , download!

Description

🟪🟨 «EC Generative» is a collection of 25 patches (+25 patterns for Crave) for semi-modular synthesizers Behringer EDGE + CRAVE.

⚙️ This genre of sound design is very popular in modular culture, and EDGE+CRAVE provide an excellent set of features to get you started. Controlled chaos, randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo variations, pattern uniqueness, alternating short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, freaky splashes during sequences—all of these elements are included in the soundset.

Generative timbres can add to or lead in ambient or techno tracks, jams, and performances. You can also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice them into one-shots, or create loops to obtain unique material for further processing.

🔮 The main focus of the soundset is a high level of interconnection. In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are intertwined and cannot exist separately:

They modulate each other with LFOs and envelopes.
A sequence from one synth alters parameters on the other.
Gates and triggers interact to disrupt predictable patterns.
Audio signals from OSCs may serve as modulation sources to create harmonies/intervals or wild, experimental inharmonic tones.
They may also be used as audio sources sent to the other synth for processing with its different filter and envelope, giving them a ‘second life.’

📚 The soundset is provided as a PDF document, with each page containing detailed notes that explain how each patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to evolve the timbre during a performance. By following these notes and making adjustments consciously, you’ll not only get the most out of the patches but also gain a deeper understanding of the synths themselves, uncovering their full potential and creative depth.

🎞 All patches require sequence playback, and, naturally, the sequence itself greatly influences the final result. The soundset includes 25 CRAVE patterns used in the audio examples. You can, of course, create your own patterns.

🎧 There are audio examples for each patch in the soundset folder, presented in three variations: EDGE only, CRAVE only, and both together.

To recreate these patches, you will need up to 15 patch cables.

💾 Additionally, there’s a separate folder containing WAV 24/44100 samples with the same timbres. These samples can be used inside a sampler or DAW to achieve the exact sound heard in the examples. Feel free to slice them for one-shots or loops; they serve as excellent material for further editing and processing.

💡 I added delays/reverbs and pads to the demos to create a musical context.

They are not included in the soundset.
