***PLEASE NOTE** lots of the sections below make use of various other features on the module. Some contain feedback patching using random voltages to influence rhythms or clock jitter etc. But the timings will guide you through what’s in focus for each patch at any given time. Skip around to your hearts content, or grab good drink get your feet up and set an hour aside to watch the full thing. This will also serve as a semi-tutorial for random functions you’ll find in other modules so it’s well worth watching (if I do say so myself) to get the most out of other random sources too. Cheers! :)
