My Setup:

- Korg Volca Modular
- Scarlett Focusrite 18i8 for multi-track recording
- LaunchControl XL as my mixer for Ableton Live (I am muting/unmuting channels, which cannot be seen on camera because I have limited space)

Patch Notes:
Bastl Kastle: It is getting the clock from Volca Modular. Two outputs from Pattern are modulating the Drum Mod. LFO is modulating the decay. I am playing with the Decay knob and Drum Mod knob live, which changes the envelopes and pitch of the sounds being generated by Bastl Kastle.
Korg Volca Modular: The positive output from the first function generator is going into the second low pass gate. The second low pass gate is being triggered every fourth step of the sequencer, which is giving me the kick for the patch.
The second function generator is cycling with self-trigger. One of the outputs of the second function generator is modulating the release of the first function generator.
Every fourth step of the sequencer also modulates the pitch CV through the Sample and Hold (woggle). However, it is going through an attenuator, so I have more control over it. I am opening and closing the attenuator live to bring variations to the bassline/melody.
No FX have been used for this patch.
