Who needs a step sequencer, if you’ve got a Blacet Binary Zone!  This recording shares the same basic patch with  ‘Sequence with Mulch effects’.  The Binary Zone outputs, normal and inverted, are each separately quantized by one half of the Modcan Dual Quantizer.  One drives the Cynthia ZerOscillator, the other the Fritz Teezer VCO one volt per octave inputs.  (No linear FM is used, despite the choice of VCOs.  I  patched it up, but it was too raucous for what I wanted here.)  Sawtooth waves from each VCO are filtered with a MOTM-490 Moog-style low pass VCF.  A MOTM-800 envelope generator twangs the filters, and two Oakley ADSR/VCA modules envelope the final audio.  That’s the basic patch.  I performed an improvisation on the quantizer scale selection knobs and on the Binary Zone.

This version uses two additional effects.  The MOTM-410 sweeps the sound with two bandpass filters, resulting in a stereo effect.  And the MPX-1 Double Delay.
