★ Patch Notes ★

Make Noise 0-CTRL was our sequencer and controller. We used it to ping a filter, the Serge Random Source Variable Q VCF, which we then processed with Intellijel's Rainmaker which we could trigger to have all its parameters randomized at once.

At different points we used sequencing or gesture controls via 0-CTRL to modulate the filter's cutoff and Rainmaker's comb filter feedback.

We multed the resulting audio to a VCA so we could control its amplitude with a percussive envelope, and then used a switch (WMD Sequential Switch Matrix) to alternate between the original audio and then enveloped audio, sometimes via sequencing and sometimes by hand.
