Upward Spiral

Case: Blackhole SEVEN_60

Recording #

Notes #

This patch contains no typical synth voices, instead using Lucy Says No (LSN) Stereo to generate a stereo effects feedback loop from two parallel effects chains.

The two effects chains are four-quadrant mixed by CV recorded in Planar 2, and the four outputs are stereo panned by Nearness. Finally, Waver breaks up a copy of the stereo feedback signal with the summed four-quadrant signal from Planar 2, adding it back into the mix as additional feedback.

Pamela's New Workout provides clock for all of the effects.

Triple Sloths modulates parameters on all the effects.
