Hi Will !

As always, thank you for taking the time to review my tracks.

Self-generating patches are kind of a thing with modular folk. Such 
patches can be quite complex, much more than mere monotonous drones.

Another post in this thread implied that there's a chance element to 
this patch. Indeed there is, but the patch itself is the result of many 
hours learning and testing module capabilities. IOW, a lot of listening 
and experimenting went into its creation before I was satisfied with it.

Learning to use VCV Rack has involved me in an odd combination of 
studies. Composition with a modular is decidedly different than working 
with a DAW, and the lack of presets means that all synth programming is 
pretty much from the ground up. [NB: Presets capabilities have been 
added to module design as of Rack-v1-dev.] I've had to reorganize my 
thinking in order to use effectively things like shift registers and 
sequential switches, not to mention having to get my mind around the 
implications and capabilities of the whole CV design. Some former 
training  - in Csound especially - comes in handy, while other habits - 
think MIDI - aren't really very helpful. It's all been a lot of fun so 
far, and I believe I'm finally making some progress towards my 
short-term goal of basic patch mastery. :)

Best regards,
