"Here's our latest Patch Notes video using the Quadraturia mode in Ornament & Crime as a set of complex modulation sources in the Eurorack system.

Ornament & Crime is sending output A to the Trigger input on Mutable Instruments Braids, clocking the internal envelope in the Bees in the Trees alt firmware. Output C is routed to the Timbre input, while D is sent to the Color in.

The wave shape is set to something like a sawtooth (around +64), with the spread set to around -40. The LFOs are frequency shifted to -128, creating a natural rhythmic relationship between the waves. Phase modulation is also enabled.

Make Noise Tempi is resetting the O&C LFOs at the Tr1 input, while 2 LFOs from the Triangle and Mayhem outputs of the Malekko Anti-Oscillator are modulating the LFO frequency at CV1 and shape spread into CV3. One channel from Pressure Points is routed to control wave shape as well on CV2.

Braids is in Meta mode, modulated at the FM input via the stepped random out from the Wogglebug. The randomization is being influenced by the CV output from René which also has the QCV routed to control the pitch on Braids.

Tempi is clocking everything, including Brains (and Pressure Points), René and Wogglebug, as well as the Malekko Varigate 4 and the Korg SQ-1.

The SQ-1 is sequencing the pitch and envelope on the Make Noise 0-Coast, which is generating the lead. The Slope section output is routed to the FM input on the Oscillator.

The Hihat is coming from the trusty Roland Scooper noise generator patch, triggered by a cycling Channel 4 on Maths. The off tempo cycle is modulated via the Both input using 4 rows on Pressure Points routed through the Doepfer A-151-2 Sequential Switch, creating a 16 step pattern modulating the rate of the cycling clock. This gives the hihat the offkilter feel.

The Kick is coming from the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas. A pattern from the Varigate is routed to the input on the Malekko Envelator. The two positive output envelopes are routed to trigger the module as well as modulate the pitch to give more punch to the attack.

All routed to the Malekko Mix 4 and out through the Mutable Instruments Warps running the Parasites alt firmware to add some delays.
