A series of live improvs whilst trying out three new patches made with the superb StereoPing Controller hooked up to a newly overhauled 1987 Böhm Dynamic 4x9.

The Böhm dynamic is turning out to be one of my favourite classic sine-only 4OP FM synths - an amazing 12 YM2203 voice generator chips lurk inside this beast giving up to 36 voices fed into a genuine BBD based analog triple chorus ensemble generator circuit resulting in a textures and colours not so commonly attributed to FM synthesis.

The new StereoPing Controller for the Böhm Dynamic has really opened up this little synth - these three patches popped out of the box in no time at all.  The second patch makes use of the rather unusual Repeat function that automatically retriggers sounds when in sustain at a user defined rate which I have found came make for some interesting evolving/cyclical effects.
