Sloppy, yet effective. I think the sloppiness helps emphasize how solid the vibe can be with good track prep and selection. I need a good foundation to carry me when I'm braindead on stage! XD

I hadn't touched the rack in several days, so I spontaneously filmed this jam to show off new O_C stuff. DivSeq has multipliers now for ratcheting trigger patterns. WAV file player is usable for tempo-synced track cueing. No EQ or filtering yet for the file players, so the bass gets a little mushy at times. Everything is a work-in-progress!

Patch Notes:
I start out with some live-sequenced drums (Bitbox Micro) and bass (Neutron) to set the rhythm. Then, I start playing tracks from the SD card in the Teensy 4.1, sometimes looping intro sections for extra drum layers. The Neutron voice is also running through the O_C audio DSP, being mixed with the WAV file players and glued together with the same compressor/limiter. The extra Bitbox drums are separate. Livestock MIR as final clipping stage. Minimal post-processing on the video edit.

Near the end, I map the "FileVCA" parameters to the same TB-3PO gate output that's driving the bassline. This results in a synchronized stutter effect on the playing tracks!
