Dive deep into the intricacies of this multifaceted composition as we unravel how Nathan meticulously designed the enchanting soundscape:
Driven by gates from the Q173, a drum loop breathes life into "Voltage Controlled Joy." The hi-hat, snare, and kick are jointly sculpted with a combination of Q173, Q110, Q107, Q157, Q156, Q112, Q109, Q108 and Q124 modules.

The hypnotic bass line stems from the Q169 #1 oscillator and employs the internal EG, further enhanced by the Q107A and Q158 modules.
The lead/solo playing features the Q169 #2 oscillator with PWM from the internal LFO and runs through a Q150A and Q158, controlled by a Q179.
An intricate arpeggio segment emanates from the Q175A module, while the Q174 Ch.2 manipulates the pitch to create a harmonious blend of polyphonic chords.

The Q960 sequence and its ratcheting effect are facilitated by a standard synth patch and a selection of modules, including the Q106, Q150A, Q109A, Q108, Q128, Q125, and Q963.

In addition, the Q119A plays a vital role in controlling the patch’s captivating progression.
