"'So I set up this simple patch...' 🎧

While the patch would take a while to describe in great detail, here are the main points. All of the audio in the clip is coming from the Modcan processed through the Knif BBD in realtime. The Moog Subsequent 37 is sending arpeggiated notes, modulation, and pitch wheel to the STG Continuo, which is converting that to control voltage (plus internal LFO) and gate for the modular. The pitch CV is then routed to a Wiard Mini Wave, which imposes various quantized key modes and scales on the pitch. The gate signal is routed to various envelopes, LFO resets, and the Milton Sequencer (upper right) to clock everything together and keep it in sync. Milton is handling several duties including pulse width offsets for the oscillators, CV offsets for the filters, Wiard Mini Wave 2s wavetable select, and trigger outputs for the rhythmic parts. The "voice" is 3 oscillators (one of which is processed through the second Wiard Mini Wave for wavetables) through the Moog 904a filter, 2 more oscillators going to 2 Arp 4075 filters panned hard left and right, 2 oscillators plus ring modulator and spring reverb acting at the "cymbal," white noise and Dark Star Chaos triggered by Milton for additional percussion effects. The Knif BBD is tap-tempo synced to the Moog Subsequent 37's arpeggio clock. From there, everything is messing around with the Knif BBD controls, selecting notes on the Moog, and noodling around on the Modcan's front panel controls.
