"Real time modular synthesizer performance.
A Synthesizers.com Q960, Q119 and an STG Soundlabs VMS were used along with the Moon 563 Trigger Sequencer and the Moon 554 Octal Clock Divider for time based pitch and gate work.
The main bass line sequence was from the Q960 (which was the master clock) & divided up between three Q106 VCO's. I used the Q963 Trigger Bus to send portions of the sequence to the various vco's. A third vco was ping'd on beat six for the upper midrange note. The downbeat was doubled and a sub oscillator added for punch.
The pulsating string-like sound was the Q119 sequencer into an Synthetic Sound Labs 1200 VCO. It was tuned using the CV IN jack instead of the 1V/OCT. This allowed me to fine tune the half scale for a more analog sound pitch sequence. The Moon 563 was providing most of the off-beat timings and the Q119 was the main pulse timing. A Q962 Sequential Switch was used to divide the pulse string sound into three separate gate timings to the EG.
The high pitched scrape sound which came and went with a pulse core was the SST/Ian Fritz DDVCO through a Grove Audio PM Resonator module and on to a VCA which used a Mega Ohm Audio LFO2 to handle the intermittent sweep in and out. The DDVCO had a MIX CV from another LFO2 and octave switching with a S&H square wave.
The squelchy percussive filter sweep noise was the Q107 State Variable Filter in resonant peak overdrive mode. The Sputnik VCS module provided the timing to the filter and I got to play this by hand throughout. A Q127 FFB was employed to tame the sound.
The final sweeping and pulsing background sound was the STG VMS sent to a pair of Q106 vco's in soft sync. The carrier was pitch modulated by the voltage from the VMS. The sound was sent through a Polivoks LPFilter and finalized through a Blue Sky plate reverb.
A Lexicon MX200, TC Electronic D-Two and a pair of Behringer DD400's filled out the delay lineup."

Oberheim Matrix-6 Patches by G-Storm (Matrix-6R, Matrix-1000)

"Original patches and video demo produced by G-Storm.

In this follow-up Matrix-6 video these original patches further explore a wide range of sonic mayhem akin to the Matrix-12/Xpander. A handful of these patches were transcribed from those made on a Matrix-12. These sounds were recorded direct to a Tascam DR-05 recorder with no other audio processing or effects. Except the patch DELAY_ME which begs for some delay effects."
