"The purpose of this video is to explore the control voltage envelope generated from the dynamics of the audio coming into the easel via the external input. This patch involves a drum loop coming in and triggering the envelope generator and low pass gate of the complex oscillator. The pitch is being randomly changed subtly by the envelope of the drum loop as well. The result is a random baseline that perfectly fits the loop. To add some fun I have the Pulsar modulating the low pass gate of the ext. input in lo pass filter mode. This helps create poly rhythms and other variations of the incoming beat. Changing the beat changes everything. This video only scratches the surface as to what is possible with this concept. iOS App FunkBox is providing the beats."
