I’m only dipping my toes into serge (have a 73-75 homebuilt paperface bc paperface is so beautiful;) and am planning to go through the cybernetics patches on YouTube to learn from there. </div><div><br></div><div>I love the textures and timbres in yours and the depth of the sound (left to right as well as the ducking effect, probably a comparator or similar (near the end of the first vid)</div><div><br></div><div>Also love the patches of hay on your sleeve as you reach deep into the synth. Just in from gardening work, are you?</div><div><br></div><div>Keep them coming. And keep annotating them with your inspiration and waypoints along the journey, please!</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much!</div><div>Kai</div><div><br></div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my Phone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 23.

I reckon emptyset are due some credit for this, and perhaps Rafael Toral’s “Spectral Evolution” has exerted some influence by virtue of consistent and attentive play, here.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family:'-apple-system','helveticaneue';font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);border-color:rgb(0,0,0);color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family:'-apple-system','helveticaneue';font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);border-color:rgb(0,0,0);color:rgb(0,0,0)">Here are my last two patches.
