There's a filter ping pattern through this entire 52 minute jam!


At about 30 minutes, a section begins that's just incredibly heavy. One of my VCO modules has three VCOs inside, plus a VCF plus an LED saturation circuit, so instead of pitching one or all of the VCOs, I turned up the resonance on the VCF and sent a CV to the cutoff of that part of the module. This gave me the heaviest growling bass drone. Strange, right? I've never gotten decent bass out of mixed VCOs *plus* whatever resonance was being added by the filter! But anyway, get to that section of this episode even if you ignore everything else. It's GREAT.
