"A drone patch, utilizing 7 oscillators (dedicated or otherwise), two mixers, and delightful tone clusters.
The entirety of this patch is built on moving between two chords. The first comes from a fully-employed Maths, where chs 1 and 4 are oscillating, and the chs 2 and 3 get cycling Quadra pitches. Carefully mixed and outputting the SUM into the µFade.
The second chord is a secundal chord - that is, a tone cluster. Here I actually use the three dedicated oscillators I have; the Dixie II (outputting a square) and the DPO (outputting a saw and a square). I also have an additional Quadra envelope cycling as an oscillator.
If you're keeping count, you'll notice I have a free Quadra channel open. I would have used it as an oscillator as well, but I have no other slope generators available at this point, and I want my patch to speak on its own behalf, so the last envelope slowly flips the µFade.
The µFade goes directly into the MMG, which I open and close according to the Graphic Sequencer. Was not a huge fan of how this turned out, but I like using the sliders to open and close the filter, even if the sequencer is not, well, sequencing."
