A little jam carried out on my Buchla Skylab. This is my first time programming and "playing" the 223e.

Effects from Empress Reverb in Delay+Reverb mode. Direct to stereo recording on a Sony PCMD50.

Patch Notes
==========
The drone is the 259e being modulated a number of ways, and routed through one of the 267e filters, which is modulated by one of the random channels.

The lead voice is the main oscillator of the 261e modulated in several ways by the 223e Kinesthetic controller.

The arpeggiated voice is the modulation oscillator of the 259e in saw mode, sent through the 292e in LPG mode (so rubbery and lovely!), and controlled by the arpeggiator in the 223e.

Transpositions are supported by the 223e (linear, not diatonic, so you have to be careful), and you have to hit the damn button on the panel to switch to a different transposition value. Still, with practice and/or adjustments to the performance this could probably be OK. There are effective moments here, but I definitely did not practice this move! :-D
