Voices 1-4 summed and filtered via Buchla 292t Quad Lo-Pass Gate, with outputs 1/2 panned hard L in Toppobrillo Minimix and outputs 3/4 panned hard R. Buchla 258t oscillator 2 frequency modulated by oscillator 1 (sinewave). Voices 5-8 each individually filtered via 2HP LPF, Beepboop Tape Sampler, Doepfer A-121-3 and Dave Smith Inst. DSM03, before being summed and panned via Doepfer A-138s - 5 and 6 panned hard L/R, 7 and 8 panned at 10 and 2. Voices 9-12 summed via Tiptop MISO, then sent in mono to Toppobrillo Minimix. Voices 13/14 summed via Doepfer A-135-2, then sent in mono to Toppobrillo Minimix. Voices 15/16 sent directly to Toppobrillo Minimix. Final mix further colored using Goldwave's Frequency Blend, low pass filtering and fast Fourier transforms.
