"this week i got a buchla/toppobrillo dual function generator and another op-1 (always regretted selling the first one).
main keys & main drums: op-1 into ssf ptg (just to boost the level) which is then mult'd to two destinations 1) optomx in with complex envelope structure from make noise maths and toppobrillo dual function generator, triggers from 4ms qcd 2) phonogene in broken echo mode
complex watery percussion: mutable instrument braids sequenced from uscale and wogglebug into the make noise echophon which is clocked from the end of gene out from the phongene. harvestman hertz donut mk 2 sequenced by the monome aleph w/grid 128 running the stepwavescv scene (pitch and fm cv) into make noise moddemix with envelope provided by make noise function (triggered from 4ms bcd)
rubbery "walking bass": make noise dpo sequenced by pressure points/brains which is clocked from the combined trigger outs from maths and dual function generator in a 4ms qcd with divisions of x 2, x 4 & x5 which is intern retriggering the envelope of maths into an optomix
vox chants and granulised percussion: monome grid 64 running max on the computer.
additonal clocking and modulation being provided by make noise wogglebug and pits lfo2"
