Massenet's "Meditation from Thais" on Modular Synthesizer

Massenet's "Meditation from Thais" on Modular Synthesizer

Here's my stab at the famous violin air from Jules Massenet's 1894 opera, THAIS, using my Biopower Axe & Razor #eurorack #modular #synthesizer ribbon controller. The ribbon controller is pressure sensitive, which I'm using to control a Plum Audio Jove filter cutoff. Two further pressure points on the stock of the instrument provide an injection of vibrato (both the frequency and amplitude of an LFO to the timbre parameter on a Plaits oscillator) and a pitch bend, mainly to get notes outside the D Major scale, which I quantized. The accompaniment is an emulated Juno 106. I designed this instrument to bring convenient Rick Wakeman shredding within reach of all synth players -- but it can play sweetly and precisely too!
