Gear used: Elektron Digitone / Modular / Zoia

Patch notes:
The rack: www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1290196

The sounds coming from the modular are coming from:
- Beehive (Plaits)'s 2-op FM voice, which is going through one of the Doepfer VCAs and being modulated by Stages (being triggered by Pam's) and being panned around by the ADDAC805 (the Alt output on Beehive is a sub oscillator which I also mix in separately). The pitch and various modulations are being provided by Pam's.
- 2 spoken-word loops being played by Disting, going through the two channels of the ADDAC 604 (modulated by Pam's) and then into two channels of the Doepfer VCAs (modulated by Stages).
- One of the spoken-word loops is split off and sent in to excite nanoRings in the alternative red mode (Strings + Reverb) with polyphony turned on so that each "note" is panned left and right through the odd/even outputs. Pitch and modulation of the shape is being done by Pam's.

The output of the system is being sent to Zoia which is doing reverb and delay.

The Digitone is providing further high and low drones and some plonks. The effects on the Digitone are all internal.

I "mixed" the piece live and just shined things up a touch at the mastering stage with some compression, eq and limiting - only gentle changes, nothing extreme or surgical.
