Equipment used:

- Elektron Analog Four
- Native Instruments Maschine
- Intellijel Metropolis, Atlantis
- Grayscale Synapse
- 4ms Shuffling Clock Multiplier (and breakouts)
- Synthrotek Sequence 8, Echo
- Make Noise Maths, Pressure Points, MMG
- Music Thing Modular Mikrophonie
- Doepfer A-143-4 Quad VCLFO/LFO

For the bass, clock comes from Analog Four through Synapse and 4ms SCM, to Metropolis. Pitch and gate goes to Atlantis. Pretty basic setting on Atlantis, just a bit of FM on the filter. The output goes to MMG then audio interface.
Metropolis has two auxiliary modulations. One comes from Pressure Points, which changes the octave. The other is from Sequence 8, transposing the notes. Sequence 8 is being triggered by CV trigs on the A4, so I can have a pattern which stays on the root note and doesn't trigger the transpose.

The echoey rattling comes from Mikrophonie, into Echo and out to audio interface. The rate on Echo is modulated by the Doepfer LFO through Maths for attenuation.

The other synth parts are on Analog Four, being muted and unmuted, and modulated by a few performance macros.
