The modules used on this one are:

A MOTM-320 LFO is the master clock and is sent first to a MOTM-730 pulse
divider. The /8 output clocks the Synthesizers.com Q119 sequencer. The /4 is
inverted by a .com Q125 signal processor and then passed to the FM input of
the Suit and Tie Guy Sea Devils VCF. The /N (ended up being set to 2) is
sent to a MOTM-800 EG that modulates a MOTM-485 VCF.

The repeating sequence patch is a Q119 in 3x8 mode but only using the first
two banks which are sent to a Moon Modular M564 quantizer and then out to
control 2 x MOTM-300 VCOs. The sine outputs are sent to the X and Y inputs
of a MOTM-510 Wavewarper (there was just a narrow range of settings on the
510 that actually 'worked' for this patch so be patient when working with
this module!) and the output of that is sent to the Sea Devils VCF (that is
getting some modulation from the 730, see above) and then on to the Oakley
Multi-Mix.

The sequence gets modulated by the use of a Moon Modular M564 sequential
switch that is stepped by the 'Done' output of the Q119. There is no input
on the first two inputs and the 3rd and 4th have voltages supplied by two
MOTM-800 EGs (the EGs aren't triggered, I'm just using them as bias
sources). The output of the M564 is multed to the FM inputs on the two
MOTM-300 VCOs and all of the settings 'fiddled with' until I got them
reasonably in tune.

The "sprinkler noise" is a MOTM-101 to MOTM-485 and then on to the
Multi-Mix.

The 'lead' patch is a MIDI Keyboard -> MOTM-650 in Solo Uni mode with a
0.050 constant glide time. The CV out is sent to 2 x MOTM-310 VCOs (saw) and
1 x MOTM-300 (square with PWM from a MOTM-380) all run into a MOTM-440 VCF
but I ended up leaving the filter wide open and unmodulated because I liked
the sound OK as is so the MOTM-440 is just acting as a mixer this time. The
MOTM-650 also gates a MOTM-800 EG which controls a MOTM-190 VCA and the
output is sent to a the Oakley Multi-Mix mixer.

Interesting to mention that as I was reviewing the patch to make some notes
I found a few connections that I either didn't use (forgot) during the
recording or were actually doing nothing to affect the sound so . . the
next time you run out of patch cords look for "dead branches"! ;-)

Just a short one for fun! ;-)
