Description: Todd Barton krell patch on a eurorack modular

Really nice!  Can you briefly mention what modules are working on this patch?  Envelopes and LFOs especially. 

Exper
Sorry I get lazy:)
The quadra and expander are the heart of the patch. Quadra ch1 cycling env out to optomix. Quadra ch3 cycling env to ch1 attack on exp. Quadra ch4 env cycling to ch1 decay on exp. Wogglebug stepped out to ch3 attack on exp also multed to the 1V on the piston honda and the freq input of the bionic lester ch A. Wogglebug smooth out to ch4 decay on expander. Optomix out to bionic lester channel A the n into the echophon to the mixer. Echophon feedback loop went into ch B of bionic lester. I think I had ch2 of the quadra flipping the wavetables of the honda. And the burst out of the Woggle going into the rom select of the Honda. Wogglebug was clocked by the ch1 and 2 'or' of the expander. Super cool patch you can sit and Listen for hours and it always produces different and ever changing results. This audio was a short snip of a session:)

beautiful stuff i run into on muffwigglers or just browsing soundcloud looking for module demos etc.

demo of Synthesis Tech E340/E350 polar opposites

E340/E350 experiment

2 Track live. I boiled my system down to 1 6u case to play with a Qunexus.  Besides a little reverb, all the ambience is provided by the Wow and Flutter, which is on the "lead".  The envelope follower seems to push the delays slower into nearly inaudible range while the line is playing and then springs back in the gaps. Also, the WET output feeds an LPG to create the "tuned percussion".  The lead line itself is e350 played through an SOB.  Qunexus pitch straight into the 1v/oct, gate into the SOB vactrol input.
I used the PTG to "pluck" the Verbos filter (verbos vactrol response very fast by itself) The extra control and life the PTG brings makes me wish SSF would just make a damn LPG. Pressure points/brains combo plays with the snare pitch and fm amount. SSF mix mode saturation is all over the place..the Verbos also saturates nice too.

Clock - Noisering
Triggers - Triggerman
HiHats - TipTop808
Low end - Subcon M15 Fm'd by the morph output of 2nd M15 through Verbos amplitude and tone controller.  
Snare/Rim - subcon m37 fm'd a bit, optomix.
Tuned Percussion - WET output of Wow and Flutter through optomix. 
Main Line - e350 morphed by slew'd Noisering.  Filtered by SOB. Run through Wow and Flutter.

BENJAMIN HATTON - SURVIVING CELEBRITY SHEFFIELD

A pensive semi-ambient track, based on an 8-bar mostly generative sequence that changes slightly with each repetition.

The sequencer is generated by using a Doepfer A189-1 in XOR mode (mode 4) to transform the Verbos Voltage Multistage's Ref output into a more complex pattern, which is then quantised to form a melody. The VM's two CV outputs drive the A189-1's BC CV and a VCA between the Ref output and the A189-1's signal in. This means that each step of the VM has a different variation of the main melody, creating an 8-bar motif with common elements. The Ref out also pings a PEG channel, which is used as a clock multiplier to get 8th notes to trigger the A156 quantiser.

Further variation comes from the fact that the CV driving the VCA that attenuates the Ref output ALSO goes through a VCA! This is modulated by an A149-1's 2^n output, which is clocked every 8 bars to introduce slight random variation into the range of the melody.

The main melody is played by a Braids in WTBL mode, using its internal envelope to drive its own VCA as well as Timbre, into Erbe Verb. The Color is modulated by the A149-1's bottom half, clocked so that each bar is played using a different wavetable.

There's also a sort of bassline sequence that chugs away (Rubicon saw, double saw and sub into Pitts Filter), using Klasmata to vary its rhythmic sequence (with Klasmata's Fill CV driven by VM's CVb). Finally, there's a dirty kick drum (Pitts Generator into Optomix, opened by Maths) and hi-hats (white noise through resonant HPF into Optomix). The rhythms of those come from a combination of clock dividers, logic and Turing Machine.

Test of Bionic Lester Mark III prototype (dual 12db/oct multimode digital filter with voltage controlled preset manager). Input signal is Piston Honda mark III in unison with LFO modulation of wavetable position.  Only one filter section is used. The input overdrive, resonance, and output mode mixing (continuous from LP -> BP -> HP -> notch -> allpass) are modulated manually. The cutoff frequency is modulated by a velocity-sensitive ADSR envelope from the Andore Jr. prototype sequenced by a Stillson Hammer mark II.

There are very few demos of the legendary, rare and beautiful RSF Polykobol II. To me the best ones are by Sebastien of Mos-lab, on YouTube. I decided to try to recreate (as accurately as possible) the first 2.5 minutes of this demo, my favorite one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H247bhAZOS4   

I wanted to see how close I could get with the Kijimi. Sebastien used quite a bit of reverb and delay on this demo, and I tried to recreate those as accurately as possible too, as well as the mostly mono sound. I ended up with two versions I liked so I added them both here. In the first version Kijimi is slightly more detuned (VCO2 detune, and voice drift setting). In the second version  (starts at 2:30) the VCO and voice tuning is tighter, giving a nice cat purrrrr in the low notes.
