i guess you could dance to my music, but maybe its more suited for root
canals. i am biulding a processor system with the MOTM. the machines i
have make great sounds, but they can become stale or the generation can be
limiting. adding a next dimension to the sound is important in creating new
sonic textures.

my mono/poly is used for those weird bleeps and grinding terror noises it is
so wonderful at creating. the mono/poly is a great machine on its own,
because it has enough components to have fun with.

i run my 303 thru a 420 filter which is modded by an 800 eg. fun things can
happen when you take a sound that is well known and then twist it slightly.

unfortuately, thedance realm depends on cliches. i try to stay away from
running my beats thru a filter because, like a distorted 909 and 303, it has
been done, to death. the modular route lets you explore new ground and i
think that is the point. to move past the simple or "easy" sounds that are
so abundant. it's time for the perculator.
