Automat patches

Created through Automat's great patch randomizer, with minor tweaks.

Aliens in the Pipes:

• Semi-vocal, noisy ascending tone into a long reverb. Most effective from below C3 or so. Perfect for that "something awful down that metal corridor" effect.

Attack Drum:

• Short notes have an enveloped noise burst with a random chirp layered in; hold and you get a looping metallic tone plus a panning rhythmic loop.

Attitude Burn:

• Hold for best effect. Resonant noise with long attack and decay.

Bowed Hullmetal:

• Slow attack and decay, rather like a 70's organ in the low octaves, and more metallic at higher pitches.

Clockwork Comet:

• Falling gated pitch overlaid with drumlike sound. Slow attack and decay.

Excessive Subtlety

• Slow attack with gated filter. Quieter than most patches.

Extra-sustain Pad

• Gentle attack to an insects-and-metal texture that never cuts off.

Filtered Trickle

• Slow attack to a fast-panning chirpy gated tone. Near-instant cutoff on key up.

Flyby

• Fades in an alternating sustained tone; relatively short cutoff.

Hydroponics Tank

• Loopy and gloopy, moderate attack and decay. Sometimes sends something into uncontrolled nasty oscillation if played hard and rapidly. Be ready to mute!

Imitation Shortwave

• Best at low frequencies: a gliding, looping resonant sound. Quick cutoff.

Incoherent Invaders

• Metallic looping and sliding vocal tone. Best at higher pitches.

Iron Drone

• Bitonal, loops fading in and out at different rates. 45 second decay.

It's in the Exhaust

• LOUD metallic tremolo with a long decay.

Mad Pad

• Faint, randomly panning gated and modulated tone. Medium decay.

Melody knock

• Shimmery lead with a two-tone percussive loop.

Metallic Hover

• Long attack to panning sustain; multiple desynced loops.

Nothing on Scanners

• Rumbly tone with heavily panned upward sweeps overlaid.

Pipe Rhythm

• Hard attack into resonant tone; if held, envelope loops and the whole tone phases. Short decay.

Radar Ping

• Metallic loop fades in and out; very shortwave.

Release Bell

• Bell tone that plays only after you hold the key a couple seconds then release it.

Sentient Cereal

• Hold multiple keys, struck at different times, for best effect. A crackly filtered tone slides up and down until you release the key.

Shiver bell

• Quick attack, with a long modulating decay; semi-flute tone.

Shortwave dogs

• Sweeping woofy tone into heavy reverb; an additional high tone may send the effects into a loop giving a super-long-sustain.

Shortwave Harmonia

• FM texture, with a different pair of intervals om each key.

Slight Short

• Quiet lead tone with an electric drone behind it.

Spaaace Ghooost

• Pair of warbling tones; slow attack and decay even if held.

Space Cicada

• Metallic insect-like drones fade in and out.

Spaceship Ambience I

• Rapidly-modulated tones fade in and out; a quick release will briefly sustain the base note.

Spaceship Ambience II

• Drony, metallic, deep reverb.

Spaceship Ambience III

• Sustained tone with pink noise behind.

Spaceship Ambience IV

• Rhythmically-modulated pink noise.

Subtle Yawp

• Tone 1 slides rapidly down and up; tone 2 modulates at audio frequency then fades.

Tiny Wavicle

• Narrowly-filtered pure tone is slowly amplitude modulated.

Tremelo Bottle

• A paired lead tone with a slight bit of crunch.

Uncontrolled Tumble

• Crunchy noise with strong modulated filtering.

Warp Transit

• Filtered noise plus a looping crunchy tone. Leaves a quiet, slowly AM- modulated tone that continues to sustain after key-up. May go into feedback if left unattended.

What Was That

• Burbling, crunching thing fades in then back out. Creepy low in a mix.
