Helloa YT-Peoples!
FINALLY I got to combine my 3 semi-modulars. And that's crazy. Within short time a nice spaghetti of cables was all over the place. Well, it's a fun brain-workout.

My aim: I wanted to create rhythmic stuff without using a sequencer. So getting "really basic", no modern "fluff". But...I didn't want every sound to sound on "the first". I found out that I could use an attenuator to set the timing in 3 different ways. Did not know that, and am not completely sure if I'm being to nonchalant with different voltages...if so please tell me.
 
What I loved very much in patching this, is that it feels like some kind of puzzle: "Oh, but I want to use that LFO a second time, so perhaps I can use a 80cm patch cable to plug it into a mixer on that synth, and then...." So you really start to figure out how to solve all kinds of "problems". A nice and active way of working, I find. 

After the patching work, off course a jam has to be done. I kept it quiet minimal, so sounds could come out nicely, in a somewhat subtle way. Enjoy it as it is, and if you got interesting patches without using a sequencer: let me know about your cable-spaghetti adventure!

Cheers,
~M.
