Joranalogue Audio Design / DRONE AND GRIT / eurorack patch

"I was asked once what I use for my drones. The answer is: I don't know. I've been thinking about it ever since, but I don't have a straighforward answer. What I do know is that for this soundscape/drone I used almost all the ‪@joranalogue‬ modules, with exception for the module that I'm sequencing COLLIDE 4 with (Discrete Map by NSI).

There's a lot of interesting tricks in this patch:
I used crossmodulation on the phase parameter between the two GENERATE 3s. The intensity is set by modulating the vcas for the harmonic inputs.
CYCLE 2 is doing some gated cycling, activated by an output of ORBIT 3 with an offset from BIAS 2.
ENHANCE 2 is creating a balanced stereo image from two inputs: the dry signal patched to the MID input and the delayed signal (DELAY 1) patched to the SIDE input.
COLLIDE 4 output stage is used to slightly slew the melody for the main drone while the input stage is used as a pinged filter with some amplitude modulation.
CYCLE 5 is used as a dirty subbass... It's both getting synced by one of the G3s as receiving some fm from the other G3. FILTER 8s resonance is begin modulation as well as its frequency.
ORBIT 3 is used for all the modulation.
One of ORBIT 3s outputs is routed through FOLD 6 to create a more intense modulation for the time parameter on DELAY 1."
