Something summery, dancery, sunset-drinking-on-the-balcony for you today.
Kinda playing it safe with this because I didn't have a lot of time, but the one new thing I experimented with this week has been to use the Bitbox Micro as a looper at the start of my master insert chain - meaning the main mix of all voices (except the kick, which is separate for sidechain reasons) are multed into the Bitbox, where I can trigger a 4 bar recording, and then crossfade between the recording and the live audio. All this before my end of chain performance effects, i.e. the Desmodus Versio and Oxi Meta. You can see me use it at 4:25 with the crossfader - at which point I prepare the mixer for what's coming after the next drop.
Patch notes:
- Bass from Manis Iteritas Alia via Doepfer SEM and WMD Javelin
- Monumatic through Imagènes as the main chord voice
- Moog Subharmonicon, now racked on the upper shelf, through Rings, then QPAS, then a VCA for the secondary background harmonies.
- Vhikk X for the ugly breakdown intermission
- Drums are my usual, but I've got them all patched into Vortices as a submixer before they go into the main mix via the Koszalin freq shifter. Bohm separate as usual.
Enjoy!

then it somehow diverts and enjoys the tune you made. Nice and chill track, like it.
