Well, since things are quiet on the list.. ;)

I had a weird thing happen when I was working on my submission for
the Aleatoric duel. As I was going about patching I noticed at one
point a very strong bleed through. It was a waveform that wasn't even
patched into the system.

So there I am, trying to track down where this unwanted signal was
coming from. It would actually change in volume as I was searching
for the source.

Lo and behold, I found that the culprit was ME! I was stepping on a
patch cable plug that was laying on the floor. It was connected to
one of the 300 osc outputs! Of course I was holding onto another
cable that was patched into the 110 ring mod at the time, which then
went to the monitors eventually.

After finding where this signal was coming from (me!), I unplugged
the CV input to the 300 1v/oct input and grabbed it in my other hand.
By varying my grip on that CV input plug/cable, I was getting all
sorts of theremin-type sounds. LOL!

So.. Does this mean that my body is actually more "noisy" than my
modular? ;)

Just thought I'd share,
Andrew
