    To summarise the generative technique: 1. Make/load a suitable patch (ADSR, harmonics, detune, reverb, A=1.5, delay, filter) 2. Make a one bar loop in a scale of your choice (step length=1/8, press [REC] + [STOP] for jump mode, FUNC for kbd, play 8 notes) 3. Use LFO1 to vary the carrier octave: BPM 1, random, S&H, depth 3, dest SYN:Ratio C 4. Use LFO2 to fade randomness in & out: BPM 1, depth 90, dest SYN:Mix

    Beautiful patch. Wish the DTone had the Euclidean pattern generator like DKT II
