For this piece of electronic music, I asked myself, how many arpeggios is too many? It turns out that I can never have too many...
I wanted to make something happy and hopeful sounding after yesterday's somewhat quiet sadness. I've been listening to a lot of Tangerine Dream, so I'm working on that synthwave sound. I'm making percussion from a combination of DFAM and the Buchla Easel Command. The bass is coming from the Moog Grandmother, and the arpeggios are a combination of ARP-2600 with two different Eurorack voices.

Patch Notes:
System clocked by the ARP-2600 to many mults
Buchla 208c Easel Command to Make Noise Erbeverb to 4ms Tapographic Delay to X-pan (controlled by Intellijel Quadrax) to Boss RC-5 looper pedal to Eventide H9
Sequential Voltage to Pitch. Step 4 is the only pitch change, but due to the random nature of the number of sequencer steps, it creates a random accent
Envelope generator to low pass gates
Random voltage to sequencer steps, timbre, modulation, and sustain.
ARP-2600:
Triangle wave from oscillator 2, sawtooth waves from oscillators 1 and 3. ADSR envelope can manually create a lot of variation in the tone of the filter.
Moog Grandmother:
Triangle waves from oscillators 1 and 2, modulation oscillator tuned to audio range and is a ramp wave sent to the noise input on the mixer.
Moog DFAM:
Receiving random gates from a Stillson Hammer sequencer to drive the clock. Audio sent to Monsoon (mutable instruments Clouds clone)
Pitch to 1-2 FM amount
VCO EG to VCF mod
VCO1 to VCO2 CV
VCO2 to VCF decay
Eurorack:
Make Noise René driving two sequences.
Oscillator 1 is Intellijel Dixie II to System 80 Jove filter. Mini Mod Envelope Generators is multed to filter frequency and VCA, which is a Tangle Quartet
Oscillator 2 is Random Source Serge NTO to Make Noise QPAS, receiving LFO from bubblsound VCOb to filter frequency. Audio to Tangle Quartet
Audio from both channels runs to an Echophon to an X-Pan
