Something To Think About

If I have an 8-note sequence, I might program the Moog so that the first note is bright, the second less bright, the third even less bright, and the fourth note maybe brighter again — so you get a kind of sine wave move.

Now, in the opposite channel, I might do the same sequence, but program the filtering differently. Add the delays, and you have a repeating cycle that never repeats exactly in the same way.
