Bastl Aikido - Video Manual and Patch Ideas
Channel: Oscillator Sink
Date: 2023-02-17

Bastl's Aikido module brings together VCAs, mixing and dynamics processing by way of two integrated envelope followers. In this video I'm aiming to provide a video manual demonstrating each feature on depth, followed by a range of example patches showing Aikido in different contexts. 

Join me, won't you?
