Plague Bearer and ARP 2600

This combination is a request for a friend.

Equipment used:

VCO and sequencer: Nonlinear Circuits
Filters: ARP 2600 Low Pass & Flight of Harmony "Plague Bearer".
Flight of Harmony "Choices".

The audio path was:
VCO --- ARP LP filter----Plague Bearer (HP --- LP). 

I've used the Plague Bearer as a filter in this case.
(Its hard to see ... bottom right corner. I'll use it again in a future video in a more prominent position)
but it also phase shifts, waveforms, rings etc --Listen to it scream :-)
in the video :-). The filter is actually quite touchy and overdrives easily.
The manual recommends attenuating the signal before the module. (a good idea i think!).

The Plague B is actually a combined HP & LP filter.
(Im using the choices to control both filters at the same time)
but there are 3 controls ... HP,LP & Gain.
I was only controlling the HP/LP parts with the choices.
the 3rd parameter: gain is tied to slope.

The Filter can also act as a noise generator and be made to self-oscillate. (another video?)

heaps of crazy sounds from this combination.
