I took a regular generic synth patch with some sustain. Set the
arpegiator tempo at 120 bpm, set the tempo delay to 3/8. Then I set
LFO 1 to 240 bpm (sample and hold)and set it to modulate the filter
(bandpass) and the synch pitch. I then set LFO 2 to 60 bpm had it
modulate the FM and the pulse width.So if you play a five note chord,
you have the arpegiator playing in 5/4, the echo playing triplets,
and the LFOs doing their thing. Sounded okay, but not maniacal enough.

So I layered another patch, this one with a real fast sample and hold
LFO (360 bpm) controling a high pass filter, with a real slow (30
bpm) LFO2 controling FM. Then I set the Free eg to go for 2 bars
alternating pattern (by ear-I'll try to adjust it on the AN1X edit
later)to control white noise and ring modulation, and turned the
feedback way up on the delay. I had no idea a synthesizer could get
that out of control.It sounds almost like an industrial machine, with
little snippets of odd constantly changing tones percolating through
it.

The cats hated it.
