Thanks manbird. You need to turn the fm control quickly to change the pitch rapidly. Definately a manual endevour on the DE.
Added some reverb after the fact -using impulse response reverb recorded in the woods.
The impulse reverb is a nice touch! I've only very recently discovered the use of such. I'm gearing up to sell my dad's house and have been going room to room, recording handclaps in each. His bedroom is empty, and with hardwood floors and a curved-cornered plaster ceiling, the reverb is amazing.
The Dark Energy, meanwhile, marked my proper return to analog synths. I'd moved to England and only had a Novation X-Station to work with. On my first trip to Berlin, I discovered the DE and picked one up to bring back with me. I love that thing to this day, though I don't use it as often as I could...
