Heya!
Made some great soundscape's using my Voyager + 351 and Clavia Nord Modular as a filterbank. I was wondering.....what are your favorite settings for doing this? And do you have special experiences or story's on this topic you want too share?
Just wondering...what's your favorite soundscape setting?

You should consider posting your work so that we can all have a listen.
I have spent many hours exploring the Vger + 351 + 251 and a Electrix Filter Factory (has VC inputs) to create long, evolving soundscapes myself. Never thought to record them, however, as I was just 'playing' with the hardware at the time. Wish I had.
Favorite settings for this kind of thing? I start with 'Pad-like' patches and tweak, tweak, tweak. Real-time control is key to make and keep things interesting, IMO. Listen and adjust parameters as you go. Longish envelopes help greatly (wish I had more to apply as modulation sources). Using the Vger's MixOut Loop to process the oscillators is a wonderful way of creating complex and evolving sounds. You can use any parametric or graphic EQ for this if you don't have a dedicated filter box (Moogerfooger, Sherman filter bank, Akai filter bank, etc.) and sweep/adjust the controls manually. Of course, any effect is fodder for processing here (chorus, phaser and flanger work well, and delay/reverb can be interesting too.)
