This is an excerpt from an underwater reef display in 1995 for Simon and
Shuster.  This stuff may not surprise the industrial guys over at
Darksonus.com who use the SQ80 for this kind of thing all the time, but
except for a short sample hit, this sonic environment is entirely created
on ONE good old metal ESQ. 

A patch I call VULCOR (similar to the steam waveform on the SQ80)
provides ambient distance while the DEPMOD and SONAR2 patches wash around
the sound field.  Two short hits of a bubbling beaker sample (mandated by
an animation call on the score sheet) starts at 7 seconds and is done by
11 seconds. After that it's back to ESQ-only. 

Panning is all handled by the patches--no panpots here!  The Whale calls
(both upper and lower register) are the PLKBRS patch.  I drug the mouse
cursor down the stave in Cakewalk to record that bend.  The only  reverb
I used was a single pass thru the "Infinite Sound Space" patch on an
Alesis Microverb II.

The stereo sound field contains a lot of "S-signal", and should be
interesting when expanded by surround processors like Dolby Pro Logic II
or Circle Surround II.  Maybe I'll do a 5.1 mix of the longer version if
I can find the sequence.  I had this recording on a CD from an old ADAT
tape and it no longer sounds "HiFi" to me here in the 21st century.
