Patch from Scratch - Recreating "Vortex" in 2024 (myth busting!)

There's a vicious rumor within the Modular Synthesis community, that once you yank out a patch cable, you'll neverrrrr againnnn hear that masterpiece. I am here to prove that myth busted once and for all (well, it's mostly been busted for decades, but this is me only just now catching up with y'all).

On my Modular Journey 3 release on Bandcamp, there was this piece of music I called "Vortex" for some reason. Well, I noticed I never made a Sonic Experiment for that... so I set out to correct that error whilst busting some ancient myths about patching modular.

This is the Patch From Scratch where I rebuilt the whole patch TWICE... once to practice, and once to film... and believe me, getting 6 hours of footage to fit in under 1 hour almost killed me.

You're welcome.
