Some little notes from my couple hours going through banks A through D:
They use hold LFOs a lot, which I had never used before. This gives every sound its own kind of bounce. They seem to use it with the filter base and width most commonly, amp volume sometimes too. I had to look at he LFO chart in the manual again to be sure I understood just what it’s doing…
The arp on bbox, particularly on pattern B08, works really well.
They routed an LFO to the retrig and another to the retrig time of the Bbox. Cool sounding stuff.
B14 has a reverb trig on every step. If you play with the amp decay (even send an LFO to it) you get a really nice, percussive gated reverb effect.
They utilize some distorted reverbs and it sounds pretty sweet.
Sometimes there are p locks where all they’ve done is turned the volume to 0. I wonder if this was so they could easily add variation without a new pattern? Go to a p lock, turn its volume back up to unity and suddenly you’ve got a “new pattern”. I imagine they played with various volume p locks live as a means of introducing quick and easy variation…But that’s just a hunch.
That’s all I got so far. Note selection is to be expected…Lots of half step stuff. It seems they use Swave Pulse a lot, as well as FM+ Dyn with uneven ratios.
Oh and lastly, from what I can tell they never once turned off the HPF and LPF key tracking
