Solvent modular crunch MFB Seq-02 + WMD Geiger Counter

Hello my name is Solvent, and I just made this crunchy IDM Hip Hop beat on my Eurorack modular.

Everything is being sequenced by the MFB Seq-02, which is being clocked from a trigger coming out of Logic/Silent Way/ES-3. I locked it to Logic so that it'll be easier to chop up into loops later, if I decide to develop this track further.

Outside of the modular, I've got the kick from my Jomox MBase-01, and the snare is from my modified Boss DR-55. The occasional analog delay is from my Boss DM-100. The white noise in the HH sound is coming from my MS-20 since I don't have a noise source module yet.

More than half of the modules in my case are being used here, so I'll just point out the ones that are contributing most prominently to the sound:
- the glitchy Autechre-ish part in the HH comes from the Flight of Harmony Sound of Shadows digital delay module, with it's delay time being sequenced by the MFB
- VCO is Tip Top Audio Z3000
- VCO goes into the Bubblesound Sem20 VCF, before being destroyed by the WMD Geiger Counter Wave Table distortion / bit reduction module. The Sem20 actually plays a big part in the sound, as the WMD responds drastically to LP vs HP, and to Resonance amount.
- Geiger's wavetable is changing via a VC input, sequenced by the MFB.
- Post Geiger filter is an EMS Synthi VCF clone, DIY'd by a guy named Cameron from Chicago, which is similar to the STG's Sea Devil Filter module. Filter Cutoff is being modulated by the MFB.
- Synthwerks MG-1 module is being used to trigger the MFB's reset in, which I'm using to create manual fills, which remain perfectly in time on account of the MFB being clocked externally.
