I was challenged by fellow Freesounder gis_sweden to create some Krell music using a virtual modular.
The Krell where a higly advanced race that disappeared mysteriously, from the film The Forbidden Planet (1956). This film's music score and the Krell music recording that features on it were created using simple purpose built analogue circuits and oscillators, reverb and tape manipulations.
I think my sound has an alien feel (from 50-60s movies) and I think it also sounds somewhat angry. But maybe not very musical. Sounds more like a slow robot monologue. - maybe alien poetry declamation?
To create this sound I used Reason's Subtractor synth and 2 Pulsar LFO modules.
One of the pulsar LFOs was set to a random wave and used to trigger the synth's gate.
2 other pulsar LFO oscillators were assigned to modulate the CV for sequencer control on the Subtractor and the Osc 1 pitch
One of the pulsar LFOs was used to trigger the pulsar envelope which was used to modulate the filter frequency on the Subtractor synth.
The Subtractor own internal LFOs were assigned to modulate the phase and FM of its oscillators, to create some timbre variation.
A spring reverb was used on the output of the synth.
There is no need to program notes or to play notes on the keyboard. This patch produces music by itself, perpetuously, never repeating itself - thanks to the LFOs.

Nice work, glad you did it and shared it with us.

Thanks for the detailed post. I just picked up a Make Noise O-Coast and the first thing that I patched was a Krell sequence. I didn't know that the term came from the Forbidden Planet. Of course now I have to put something together to post.
Best Regards
