This track was a big struggle, getting the subsequent 37 and grandstage to fit into the mix and workflow took a few days to get right. Also, I managed to make some proper misses while recording, so i had to do 7 or 8 retakes of the track until i finally got one I was happy with.

Also, since I have started filming everything in 1080p my cameras tend to get filled up way more quickly than before, so I did a take where the audio was good.. but I have no footage, haha. Need to get bigger SD cards OR just clear the old videos more regularly (not to self).

On this track I wanted get the subsequent 37 into its place, solos, leads etc will be the main use case .. good thing is that I can now alternate the ms-20 and S37, the KORG is acually doing a sequence on this one which is lovely since I have been using is mainly for leads.

There is a lot of stuff going on in this track. S37 has the RE-20 delay + strymon bluesky (plate algorithm). Grandstage has reverse delay from the particle + a big blackhole reverb from the eventide. Avalon handles the main bassline together with one of the volcas.

Digitakt is on beats and dub-chord duty plus some hihats and rimshots from the TR-8.

The modular has 4 sounds, BIA percussion, intro sequence on the braids, doepfer uVCO A-111-3 does the main top line sequence, rings does a shimmer style background sequence. All controlled by the eloquencer + the q-bit octone.

FX in modular rack, strymon timeline and keeley caverns, the EQD pedals are not in use on this one.
