I always develop a master gig patch when I'm playing. It allows performing each of the songs I want to play with a minimum of knob turning, and the ability to mix in more noisy elements. Lately this has meant reserving one of my mixer channels to be able to add in the Zeroscillator with crazy modulation. I also tend to send the basic patch trough several filters and these are all available through my quad vca and can be selected as needed.

I'm not really making dance music, but it is song-oriented.

GREAT I didnt know this at all... even though maybe in GENERAL synth, especiaaly big
systems are rather studio instruments...

well not really making dance music here, which I dont mind when its good, I'm rather
using A100 like... euh... in improvisation/noise context whatever its called... I generally
start with quite complicated patch and dont change so many of them while playing AND
THATS WHERE IS MY INTEREST in things to switch on and off....
