thanks! what do you mean progressive btw?

I mean it's so repetitive...that's why it usually takes so long. but your track feels much more like a real song, thanks to the melody!

Yes, it's the first of my jams that feels a bit like a song, I wanted to make a more classic use of the sequencing/quantizing modules. I could've added a more complete beat instead of just a snare if I had had the modules... It'll take me a few months or a year to get there though!

my right ear is lonely

Thanks for reminding! I'll try to check if I can record in mono next time...

neat song! i agree it sounds almost "too melodic to be true"... in a good way

Thx! Melodic side is René going to the quantizer 1V/oct input, while an envelope mixed with bipolar random voltages are sent to its shift input. The random voltages are half of the time synced using a s&h.

What they said :-)  Faved.

Nice track! But a bit strange to listen to on headphones.:)
