Fellow Syntakteers,
it’s time for another Science Lab. This time we’re doing PC Carbon. It’s FM-based, and probably meant as a general purpose percussion / tom generator. It seems fairly flexible.
Post your contributions in this thread, including:
General Science Lab rules, discussions on upcoming Labs etc:
Quicky, kinda low effort one.
8x PC Carbon. One pattern. First attempt jam was good enough 
Actually had some other musical plans this afternoon, but seems PC Carbon is working inspiring.
1 pattern(60steps) , 8x Carbon again.
Used songmode this time and didn’t use the fx-track.
Bit more effort in the sounddesign aspect and some post-eq just to tame a few frequencies.
Having fun with PC Carbon 
It’s a versatile machine for sure. I especially like the fact that it can make drones.
Here’s a monotonous techno jam. 4 patterns, 7 tracks. Three tracks for drones and four tracks for hihat, kick and perc x2. Drones are going through the FX track. Recorded straight from the Syntakt.
Next I’d like to explore drones more, maybe a complete ambient piece.
Sounds killer. Another super versatile machine to dive into then. (I mostly get really nice taiko or log drums out of it for my packs )
5x Carbon with lots of FM except for the kick. Everything through the FX track except the drums. Thought about making pads (or stuff with long attack in general) but it just turned creepy Bit of EQ on the master.
Sounding nice and deep!
This is fantastic!
love the percussion in this one
Another one with not a lot of science involved really. Just the basic synth params with a bit of filtering… Just wanted to do some euclidean ‘bongos’ Reused the kick and hats from te previous one. All 8 tracks, hardly any p-locking 
Pretty new to this but figured I’d give it a try! 7 x PC w/ a little delay, then run through Grand Finale in Cubasis to beef it up:
Oh man, this reminds me of the Hawaii track from Road Rash 2!
I got a bit of free time to play around with the PC Carbon machine today. I love the FM qualities of it!
This is five carbon tracks with maxed inharmonics, one of which is wiggly long tone with an LFO on tune, and to the LFO’s multiplier.
The faster tone has an LFO to modulation amount and amp attack speed.
Lots of reverb and delay.
Road Raaaaash! That brings back memories 
Also I really like the ‘BBC Radiophonic Workshop’ sounds you got out of the Carbons at the beginning. Lovely tune as well, very ‘videogame cave level’
@Oxenholme Expert bongos 
@duoso Welcome to the Science Labs Nice beats!
@PentalagusMusic I love this pensive vibe and melody, and the acoustic-like timbres.
(Correct thread this time)
PC Carbon is awesome, it’s such fun discovering nooks and crannies. I had plans to investigate drones, but mostly got stuck in minimal techno land. All these three build upon the one in my previous post, but take it in different directions.
180 bpm and some melodies added. Single pattern, muting/unmuting.
Quiet droney minimal. Two patterns, light tweaking.
Moving short delays. Sorry for the annoying clicks, they were less pronounced in my headphones.
The 2nd and 3rd sound great played together!
first part from 0 - 15 seconds sounds very interesting wondering how you made that
