Hi Joe,

Great tip I must say! Only I don't have the A-176 CVS, (yet).
I'm wondering could this also be done with the A-150
If it can't I'm definately now what to put in the next (fifth)
row! I'm very curious Joe, what range you can track that way;
does it come in the vicinity of a moog or Buchla! Nah, I'm
expecting too much again. But it must certainly be worthwhile.

With this kind of tips you actually can create new modules without
losing space!

By the way, now I have a brandnew pc plus scanner I can now
upload some pics of my gear. I only have to make new photo's of the
new set up. And learn who to put up, cause I have no experience
in this direction. Meaby it's difficult, meaby it's simple.
I dunno.

After last chrismas I gave a performance of almost an hour to my friend
Robert. Everything was live, I'm still not using midi or an pc.
Before the "show" the preparations sounded excellent. When I wanted to
start for my friend, all of a sudden my Teisco 110F (great arp clone)
too my suprise sounded false!!! I didn't understand. After to restarts
I finally was on my way with a jumping portamento effect from low to
high, which sounded very impressive. After the high pitch had died away
the moog (prodigy) bass appeared which was a compagnied by delicate touches
on the Teisco. That sounded totally wrong, nothing compared too the
stunning stuff I did as practice (you have to have full concen
tration, not only for let things running smooth, but also for
being totally submerged in the music!
Then when letting a low note on the moog slowly dying away, I evocated
a totally wild low drone, with a percussive sound in the backgrond which
resembled the music from Tangerine Dream
The Keep (the beginning when the panzers rolling in) I created this by
making a 24 db bandpass filter out of the A-122 and A-123 in series!
By turning the cv knob on the A-141 all sorts of bubblings emerged.
But that was nothing compared to the noise came up when I slowly began
to open up the cut off frequency on the A-123. This blew my friend
right of his chair. I also let some low to higher sounds pierce this
sound picture (I did this by using the A-120, using low and bandpass
if I am correct.) Yes, I like the A-120 very much and I'm certainly
going to buy one more, cause I want to use them in parallel and series
for more wild stuff. Then after this storm was over the first sequencer
began to rattle (first row of the MAQ), then I fired a second one, but
this one was adventurous. By using a very low frequency rate on the A-145
I could let this pattern come and ago. I think a really nice touch.
After experimenting live with duration of the row and octave jumps, I let
the arpegiator of the poly six roll in. So now three sequence patterns
where swirling round each other. Of course I worked with the attack and
sustain of the envellope and the cutoff, resonance and eg intensity.
I was quite pleased which the middle and last bit turned out.
But of course it wouldn't have sounded so great without some nice delay.
Meaby I gave someone here some inspiring thoughts.

Hey Roel, if you want a frequency knob, speaking of the CV Source
module, patch the CV source to a VCO, and it works as a frequency
knob covering the whold range AFAIK.

I don't know about a dual VCO, but I could use a quad VCA.
