--PATCHNOTES--

Steppy does all triggers advancing the mimetic digitalis with certain probabilities per track. The x axis receives most this but once in a while the y axis advances. I could have gone for random but this gave a sequence that made more sense. Sequences 1 and 2 are quantized by the o&c to a phrygian scale. Piston Honda, and Dixie receive receive the same pitch but are triggered independently by steppy. They both get a different envelope from quad envelope. Plaits uses the second sequence and internal envelope. The aux send on the lifeforms mixer goes to monsoon and zdsp. The bus goes to the black hole dsp. Each voice goes through the aux send and bus in different levels. The Bia is triggered the same as the plaits but goes straight in the monsoon, so fully wet. The Dixie goes through the wasp and plaits through the SEM filter. All lfos are changing different things like timbre of plaits and position on monsoon.

I hope this is what you mean with patchnotes and I'm sure I made an error here and there.

Ps: oh yeah the tape loop plays back a recording of the patch itself wit some added clicks by tapping the player . The reason I called it chance principle is because for the first time in months the tapeloop stopped playing for whatever reason when I hit record... :)
