Two Hour Modular Synth Improv for SYNTHFEST

A number of the Golden Shrimp Guild folks (kind and benevolent organizers of the monthly Synthfest event on Twitch) responded positively to this Sinfonion orchestrated techno ramble despite the onset of freezing-camera OBS overload... so I figured I would see if anybody on Hive was receptive. Patch wise, I'm jamming two Mangrove oscillators on the Three Sisters and plucking it before running it through Mutable Clouds, yielding many of the midrange "woodwind" sounding timbres. SSF Spectrum continues to overperform as main arpeggiator: it's ability to be in tune over six octaves is definitely a premium. Drums are straightforward BD9, Crucibles + Basimilus but are greatly aided by the convenience of Launchpad Pro access to the NerdSeq trigger expander. Hugely useful for immediate drum changes without menu diving.

Hi Drumoperator. I'm not a modular guy, but I like watching you guys jam on them. I have a question for you: How do you guys take all of your oscillators, filters, modules, etc. etc. and mix those audio signals down to left and right stereo channels? Do you use a traditional mixer... or what?
