Still Basic

Was trying to make acid. Not happy with the structure and transitions and everything, but the deadline looms.

Patch notes:
This week I was experimenting with modern/digital acid sounds, specifically using animated PWM through a resonant filter. Turns out you can self-patch the Schlappi Three Body to make quite nice PWM by phase modulating the square wave output with a triangle or saw from a ratio-synced suboscillator. Now I just needed to modulate the phase modulation amount... with envelopes and LFOs... there was quite a lot of modulation of modulation going on here.
Anyway. In summary:
- Acid Lead: Three Body via Serge VCFQ and the saturating VCA in the Serge Wave Multipliers.
- Bass: Cursus Iteritas Alia through Doepfer SEM lowpass
- Intermission drone: Vhikk X
- The rest: Bohm on kick, WMD drums as hats, ride, and clap. Ectocore for supporting drum loop.
- Desmodus Versio and Oxi Meta on end of chain FX duty.
- The white noise riser is a white noise through resonant highpass and delay, both animated from the Neuzeit Drop
- Sequencer from Metron and Oxi One Mk2, remote-controlled from Neuzeit Drop.

Some cool stuff here, when the key is changing at the end there is a bit of depth there. Nice

I like how the whole thing builds to the more busy section at the end. I honestly wish that part was a little longer. It was a nice release hearing the response to the call.
