thanks paul,

due to this post i decided to try it, and posted the results on the
muffwiggler forum. i was encouraged to do so here too. 

the patch is a blacet vco saw through wiard borg 2 (set somewhere near
high pass) and boogie (as a low pass gate). a future retro mobius,
blacet micro lfo, blacet envelope, and bananalogue vcs provide the
animation.

the patch goes into a chandler germanium compressor and then has
minimal boss dc-2 chorus and zerotronics spring reverb applied. i
brick wall limited about 3dB to bring the level up. 16bit stereo .wav
file.

all comments welcome.

i feel this is a good patch to show off what the borg 2 is capable of.
i'd got into the habit of always using the boogie as the filter (due
to all the crazy possibilities when mixing the poles) and the borg as
a low pass gate, but i think i prefer the sound the other way round,
at least for this style of music.

best wishes,
