Election Day Jam

"I'd been tinkering with this for a couple days and thought it was time to record it. Still trying to NOT use the BSP except for drums.

The new love of my life is the Doboz XIIO, an apreggiator with eight pads on which you can program specific notes. I like how short sequences sound on the Rings from the XIIO (Xeee-yoh?)

I programmed the 2 rows of 4 notes like this:
Bb2 B 2 C#3 Eb3
Eb3 A 2 Ab2 F#3
and dance around the pads, while I play mostly black keys on the kayboard. The key board voice is a nice, fat, 3 VCOs (Z3000, Erika Back Waveshape VCO and a Braids running the HARM model) running thru a Korgasmatron dual filter whose cutoff is managed with a Koma Kommannder. The Beatstep Pro is only playing drums. A third voice is a Doboz Prizma controlling an E350 Morphing Terrarium and a simple pulse wave thru an E440 filter.

The voice mangling is clips stored on a micro SD card in a Disting Mk3 that runs into a Dervish DSP and that goes ito a Z5000 for more reverb and looping."
