    Audio section:
    VCO sq wave (out) — (in) VCF303 (out)—- (in)VCA – Doepfer A132 (out)— (in) mixer.

    Clock:
    LFO sq wave — (in) RCD (out) —- Multiple (x4) —– Brains —– Rene (xClock) —– Envelope Generator(ADSR gate of A111-5/dark energy) —– Env Trig (of VCF303)
    Voltage control:
    ADSR (out) —- CV1 in of VCA
    Top row of Pressure Points —– Xmod Rene (controls Slide)
    2nd row of Pressure points —– ACcent in on VCF303 (Controls ACcent)
    3rd row of PP —– VCF 303 CV (sequenced filter cutoff)

    From donaldjasoncrunk on YouTube, via matrixsynth. With Eurorack modular and a cat!

    “live set – 3 seperate noises in one video for your convenience! happy to be celebrating my 1000th post on the best internet community in the world, Muffwiggler. thanks to my fellow wigglers for the awesome advice and the awesome music that i listen to constantly!

    the first two sounds are more percussion oriented, the last more sequency. i premade the vocal loops to save some time and to save you from hearing too much of my lovely boyvoice.”
