=================

Crazy patch driven mostly by one channel of Peaks #1 in Random LFO mode. This LFO is used to control everything from Telharmonic's Centroid and Flux to E440's Frequency cutoff, from Warps' Algorithm to the rhythm tapped out by TipTop ONE, from pinging the Spectral Multiband Resonator to triggering Peaks #2's "easter egg" samples and wiggling Tides' smoothness and shape.

The voice sample from Peaks is sent for scrambling into Clouds #1 in granular mode. It's then sent on, with the other Peaks easter egg sample and the E350, to the 1U Digitank reverb. SMR's outputs are sent to Clouds #2 in delay mode, with Pitch turned up an octave.

There's gobs of submixing and attenuversion being done by multiple Quadratt modules, and an inversion of that random Peaks LFO is done to have "trade-offs" between rhythmic aspects of the patch.

Slow mix changes are accomplished with Frames acting as a mixer, for the most part, and being modulated by a slow Sine from Batumi. Batumi also morphs the E350's X wavetable (bank 1), while Function in cycle mode syncs E350. This makes for a nice interaction as the waves morph. Additional channels of Batumi are modulating the SMR, causing rotation and resonance changes over time.
