Evolving Ambient Patch

Ambient patches benefit from changes that happen on different time scales. One movement might take seconds, another half a minute, while notes or events arrive on their own rhythm.

Build it

Use a sustained or slowly articulated source, add independent slow modulation to timbre/filter/pan, and finish with restrained delay or reverb. AMBI can be useful when you want controlled spatial movement.

What to avoid

Do not put the same LFO on everything. Independent rates and depths create evolution; one master sine wave controlling every parameter creates synchronized wobbling.
