Polyphonic Serge + Monome + Polygome Max/MSP + Volta in Ableton Live 8 + 100W all tube guitar amp

"This is an interesting setup; hours and hours of fun. I had just received the Monome a few hours before creating this vid; the potential of this controller is absolutely huge. I'm excited to figure out how to control more then one thing with it so I can add percussion to something like this. There is polyphony from the Serge and bizarre effects. The polyphony is from 4 oscillators; they are 3 Variable 'Q' filters and the right side of VC Timegen OSC; additional timbre added by routing a couple VarQ's feedback signals for the oscilation through other sections of VC Timegen's set to oscilate. Volta calibrates about 5 octaves for two of the VarQ's and 6 octaves for the other VarQ and Timegen section, even though they are also piped through other oscillators! You can hear bizzare effects also; the mixed oscillator audio was sent thru a 100W all tube amp, it's the tube amp's preamp stage creating the harmonic distortion (first dialed-in effect) into the Resonant EQ to pluck certain harmonic bands. The second crazy effect dialed in seconds later is from piping the stepped output from the N Comparator (the input is the distorted tube amp audio) into all the oscillators' VC frequencies. The Monome is sending OSC (the protocol) to Polygome by Stretta, and Max/MSP is sending MIDI to Volta in Ableton Live 8."
