"The Plasma Voice module loves being modulated, But how about just playing it as a standard synth voice? Here I twiddle at length with just one of the 49 core sounds. This is bass sound number 2, but it happily scales up and down the octaves. One thing I like about the Plasma is that you don't need to tune it. As much as I liked all my old analog Eurorack oscillators, I absolutely hated tuning them. Often I wouldn't bother, then I'd come up with something good and realize it wasn't going to fit with anything else until I stopped everything, broke the spell, and went back and tuned them :/
Playing a Plasma voice with no modulation isn't what you'd probably often do. It's setup for easy and crazy amounts of realtime change. OTOH it's interesting as a synth voice to play with a range of unfamiliar parameters. Since there's no ADSRs or other standard controls you tend to go in different directions.
Ten minutes of this might be overkill, but as my daughter always says (with a laugh): "Your channel is so niche", so I'm unfazed. It actually felt quite brief to me although the Nightverb was essential to smooth things out.
And watch your ears at the 4 minute mark. There's no compression, limiting or other volume modifications on the audio and the sound gets rather piercing.

"One of two colossal pin matrices on the Analogue Solutions Colossus synthesizer driving this hypnotic sequence into uncharted territory. Every connection is a new possibility, every route a step deeper into evolving soundscapes. The sheer scale invites exploration, and the tactile freedom makes it as much an instrument of performance as it is a work of art."

I have not completed this cover for a long time, as the electric guitar plays a big role in this song. Thank you once again @hide0710_healing for your hard work and collaboration!
The tone of the 800DV was a bit challenging to figure out, as the original mix and tone of the 800DV is slightly different in each song (An Enchanted Evening). I think I have managed to come close to the tone of the 800DV in this cover.

"I got carried away checking out a couple of new modules from SCRAPCODE MODULAR: AXIOM and WONK. What started as a quick initial test and exploration, turned into this full 140bpm set with techno and psytrance vibes.
I'll play the set for a bit, then go over the entire rig, and explain what does what and how it all works together."
1. AXIOM - Euclidean Rhythm Generator - Product Overview
2. AXIOM - 9/8 Jam
3. AXIOM - Long Pattern
AXIOM is a Eurorack module based on the popular concept of the Euclidean Rhythm, where a defined number of HITS is evenly distributed throughout a sequence.
It allows two CV inputs for each if its four lanes – one for the number of HITS in each lane, and a second for either the number of STEPS in each sequence or for an OFFSET to its starting position.
Each sequence can be assigned a different length, causing the rhythms in each lane to move in and out of phase with one another. A pattern of up to 21,840 steps is possible before repeating if the right settings are chosen!*
An internal clock or external CV trigger can be used to progress the sequencer.
AXIOM is available as either a DIY Kit or as a fully assembled product.
For more information please visit www.scrapcode.co.uk
*Hint – use STEPS MODE and set the STEPS values to 13, 14, 15 and 16.

04:51 Outro
WONK is a four lane envelope generator with a twist!
Each lane shares the same Attack and Release controls, but these can be further modified by the Wonk parameter:
More Wonk will make the top envelopes longer and the bottom envelopes shorter.
Less Wonk will make the top envelopes shorter and the bottom envelopes longer.
WONK can run in Attack-Release, Hold-Release or Looping modes, and is available fully built or as a DIY kit.

what is it
the NSA selector is a eurorack module with two ethernet jacks and one audio output. any bit on the network will be sent to the audio output.
what it's not
this is not an "audio interface". we do not play back any "format" such as RTP or MP3 or WAV ot the like. the eurorack module does not "speak" any protocol. all traffic is forwarded from one network jack to the other unmodified. it's just tapped, intercepted to convert it to audio.
