a break from the bitchin' -

I've uploaded 2 files called Weird Disco and Weird Disco Sweep...

Weird Disco patch is as follows:

NTO (Freq at 10 o'clock) SYNCED to PCO (Freq at 12 o'clock - Hi Range)

SINE WAVE OUT of PCO into CARRIER IN of RING MOD

SIGNAL IN of RING MOD fed by LO OUTPUT of VCFQ in self-oscillation (BP to
IN)

RING MOD SETTINGS: CARRIER (1 o'clock) AM amount (10 o'clock)

VCFQ FREQ is modulated by BIPOLAR OUT of DSG1
DSG1 is patched to self-trigger and is sending GATE OUT to ADSR

DSG1 SETTINGS: RISE (10 o'clock) FALL (12 o'clock)

OUTPUT of DSG1 feeds INPUT of DSG2

DSG2 is patched to self trigger: RISE (11 o'clock) FALL (10 o'clock)
DSG OUTPUT modulating both VCFQ RESONANCE and AM amount of RING MOD

ADSR (triggered by DSG1) feeds both VC FREQ of the PCO and UAP VCA1
ADSR SETTINGS: Delay 0, Attack 0, DSR all at 2 o'clock.

The patch is the same for Weird Disco Sweep - I'm just opening the Freq of
the VCFQ (ie turning it CW to max).

I particularly like the series of harmonics going on in the background of
the main pitched sound - the Kick type thud is obviously the VCFQ being
triggered in Self-Oscillation (when Cutoff is low at it disappears once the
Cutoff is swept CW).

Anybody like to explain what is going on in technical/electronic terms?? I'd
love to know!

Hope the patch is clear to you all ;-))
