In this video, I share my approach to creating self-generating patches on the Behringer Crave, inspired by a question I received recently. This isn’t a technical deep dive but rather a practical walkthrough based on my own experimentation. I’ll guide you through the process of setting up a patch, exploring randomness, and crafting evolving soundscapes.
This patch relies on simple techniques, like routing the Assign Output to Random and using multiples to modulate various parameters like the filter cutoff and oscillator pitch. I also share how to use LFOs to add unpredictability to your sequences and sound.
Effects used:
Reverb: Valhalla Supermassive, Valhalla VintageVerb
Compression: Ableton Limiter
EQ: Soundtoys Sie-Q
Let me know in the comments if this inspired your own self-generating patches. I’d love to hear what you create!
