Recording #

Notes #

This rack is centered around Tides as a four-voice drone oscillator, with each voice being separately processed by effects. Before that, Blinds and some VCAs modulate the phase and levels of the audio.

Pamela's New Workout provides clock and modulation for 3 of the effects, and looping Zadar envelopes modulate the mix/blend on the effects while also modulating the levels of the VCAs.

Jumble Henge brings together the mix for the four voices before Ikarie provides end-of-chain filtering.

Triple Sloths modulates shape, slope and smoothness on Tides, as well as the filter cutoff on Ikarie.
