This is just a quick and mostly seat-of-the-pants MP3 capture from my Synthesizers.Com rig, now in its more or less finished incarnation with three sequential controllers (one Q119 and two Q960s). Each sequencer is routed to two oscillators tuned at some diad or other. The Quantizer and Quantizer Aid are fully populated and set to Major Scales. The third bank of each Q960 is used for note-timing and the third bank of the Q119 is routed to the VCAs for note-by-note dynamics. All oscillators run on their own speeds (not necessarily the best way to go about this) and the Q119 gate also controls the envelope to the VCAs. LF noise is sampled and added to Bank 1 of the Q119 to add at least a little randomness to the output.


The final audio is routed to a Mackie 8-channel mixer with inserts routed to a Behringer FX-2000 effects processor, set to a combination of Chorus + Delay. From the mixer through the wall to my adjacent living room and a TEAC CD/USB deck. So many cables, so little clarity.


This is hardly a finished product, since I captured the audio while tweaking settings in a way that detuned the output. Seems like some testing and planning (even “storyboarding” the sequence of setting changes) would be a good idea before diving in.  Integrating MIDI notes from my keyboard would also help break up the monotony of sequences that never change tonality.
