"Synthetic Sound Labs 1520 Segwencer IV module and company.
An SSL1260 Tap Tempo LFO was used as clock and control voltage to the depth input on the Segwencer.
A Q960 picked up the clock for pitch sequence to four vco's which were an SSL1200 compact, a dotcom Q106, an Oakley4 and an SSL/Ian Fritz Double Dekka vco.
These were sent through various filters (except for the DDVCO which is dry) then to the Segwencer IV module.
I ran the SSL1520 in PEAK mode with the width at 90% and depth attenuator at 30%.
Each vca output from the SSL1520 went to a different DSP device then on to a final mixer (Q113).
The MIX OUT signal of the 1520 was suppressed to avoid cancellation.

Each of the "voices" were intentionally modified by ring modulation, FM and soft sync to give each a unique character separate from the next. This helped to distinguish them as the Segwencer faded between them. The tuning was C, F, G# & B on each corresponding vco. The Q960 acted as a transpose for the sweeping chord action."
