thanks tyler!

i've been playing with the patch some more. it can be really smooth
and pumping at the same time, a very nice compression characteristic.
it sounds great on bass guitar, synth bass and high frequency acid
lines (especially when switching the borg2 from low pass gate to high
pass gate mode!) i will try it on drums and vocals etc later.

i think there's something to be said for vactrols. something about the
combination of sound and light that gives a certain magickal vibe. i'm
looking forward to trying the patch with the boogie instead of the
borg2. i'm not sure if they use the same vactrols, if not that would
make for another nice flavour.

like you say, in combination with the serge vcs it is an extremely
versatile patch. i'm thinking of pre-attenuating the signal to the
attack and decay times for finer control/more resolution.

someone on another list also suggested feeding the control/sidechain
envelope follower signal through an eq or another processing module
before sending it to the borg2 for frequency dependent compression,
for example through another low pass filter, so that the compressor
only kicks in on the bass notes. or how about through a phaser or wave
multiplier? the possibilities are endless!

best wishes,

gregg
