The event was a live synthesiser jam - 9 guys altogether, three
onstage at once, playing on a sort of rolling rota basis.  I lucked
out, and got the job of running sequencers at the end.  I had 2
top-line sequences, using my Wiard modules - one was random stepped
voltages quantised to Amin, the other was a step-up sequence from the
Blacet Binary Zone, one of the raddest modules ever made, again
quantised to Amin.  For the bassline I used the little Plan B voice -
I mixed 2 VCO sawtooth waves via the dual timbral gate, into the
filter.  I set the timbral gate knobs about 1/2way up, and plugged a
gate from step one of the sequencer into the CV in of both gates -
this gave a little blip "on the one" -handy thing w/vactrol-controlled
stuff is that you can hit it with a gate, and you don't get an
obnoxious click at the beginning/end.  The filter cutoff was
controlled by the envelope generator, and by the inverted output of
the sequencer.  The sound was pretty meaty, and when I hit the
resonance boost switch, very very acidic.  I was just getting into
really working on the acid aspect of it, when they put the house
lights up.  Oh well.  A sonic pass w/flying colo(u)rs, anyway, for
plan B sonics.  Apparently the event was recorded, though I haven't
heard anything yet.
