PRESET
Here's the preset - press one key for a minute at 128BPM (ideally E4) and a whole track plays:
Backstory
I was watching some synth reviews and realized 70% of the time was spent going on forever about modulation options and MSEGs and started wondering whether anyone was actually using these for anything. Most of these synths have 2-3 oscillators though, so I wanted to find out how far you could push Sytrus. I had an idea that you could build most Roland-style drums with just noise, sine, bandpass and waveshaper, which with some clever modulation would be just one operator. I could pretend I have more filters with self oscillation of FM. So here's the patch:
Op 1, 2, 3 - FM Pluck Chords
Op 4 + Filter 1 - Acid Arp (Unison Mono) (routed into filter 2)
Op 5 - Lead
Op 6 + Filter 2 - Drums (I left Unison alone here, because it does make snare/hats sound better, but the kick is a little phasey.
Filter 2 + FX - Sidechain
You could probably extend this concept further, but the issue is that you have to keep looping the beginning of the track to keep building more variety. Maybe bind something to X/Y and automate externally for "performance" or enable/disable track parts.
Modulate.mp3 is just solo Sytrus at E4 going through OTT.
