Processing external audio with an analog modular synthesizer

Processing external audio with an analog modular synthesizer from Isotope Of Me on Vimeo.
"I started feeling guilty about not running external audio through my modular more often, so thought I'd put together a clip of a few different types of modulation that a basic modular setup is capable of. The audio is a recording of my friend Anna (she would never tell me what it is that she is saying) from a few years ago. This video includes processing with the Ring Modulator, Audio rate and Low Frequency Amplitude Modulation and Filtering (LP, BP and HP). There's an mp3 of a short ambient tone poem that I improvised this morning that uses the ring modulation technique on my site isotopeofme.com."

Pink Floyd - One of my Turns intro (Prophet-5)

YouTube via mrduckbutt
"Pink Floyd's "One of my Turns" intro played on Prophet 5 synthesizer. Warning - These depressing chords will likely make you want to commit suicide. Also threw in booming octave bass notes at the end (think of that scary synth part in "Goodbye Blue Sky").

Here are the synth settings:
Poly-Mod: Filter Env = 7.5, Osc B = 0, Dest = Freq A
LFO: Freq = 2.5, Wave = Triangle
Wheel-Mod: Source = LFO, Dest = Filter (I use a slight amount of wheel to give the sound a movement)
Osc A: Freq = 3, Wave = Saw, Sync = On
Osc B: Freq = 3, Wave = None, KB = On, Lo Freq = Off
Mixer: Osc A = 5, Osc B = 5, Noise = 0
Filter: Cutoff = 5.5, Res = 1.5, Env = 0, Attack = 3.5, Decay = 7.5, Sustain = 0, KB = On
Amp: Attack = 0, Decay = 0, Sustain = 10
Release: Off"
