"The Serge Smooth / Stepped Generator is very deep. Here are a handful of different patches that highlight some of the functions that can be performed through patch programming the different sections of this module. For more info and patching ideas see the SSG Hi jinx pages at http://www.serge-fans.com where many of these patching ideas came from.

glitch remodulation matrix with volatile and sympathetic bends grouped seperately, variable self composition controls, variable density controls, pitch over 5 octaves control, input jack for sustain, and onboard controls for sustain.

i avoided the subtle and tried to demo the more drastic sides of the bends. starting with an intial beat and accompainment and mutating it as far as possible. there's alot more capable from this synth but just doing a short run through after assembleage."

"Stereo compressor+gate w/ variable frequency selectable-compression, key insert (sidechain) and sweepable bandboost/reject filter with resonance.
1st time running a Korg ESX-1 through ISA428 preamps followed by some reverb from a Kurzweil Rumour.
The gate kicks in @ about 1:15. All sound modification is done in real-time on the BSS. The ESX and Rumour were left unaltered."
