This is really a work in progress but it can be used for a four part rhythm machine and bass line producer as is.

This was a quick exploration using the String Theory modules as the main sound source. Previously, I had been using as a sound processor to alter the synth sound source, which it also does well.

One of the easiest ways to get a useable sound from the String Theory module is to use the Send and Return section to process the module’s sound with a filter. And because each filter available colours the sound it passes in its own way, I used one filter per String Theory module. But to make use of multiple grains, the filter used has to be polyphonic or you have to use a Split module and send each grain to its own filter and then recombine those signals with a Merge module. And that takes up a lot of CPU plus it is easy to push the Send and Return grains past a set number of filters. Poly capable filters are easier here.

One of the things about the String Theory modules is their production of noise when not presented with an external input (in many cases). That is used here to help produce some percussive noise.

Feel free to make your own adjustments and make use of the 4th ST module feeding into the first by the Ext Input. And sometimes you can feed it back into itself. I included a switch to do that. Remove the cable from the Ext Input completely to get a different sound from the 1st module.

Sequencers are fun to play with too. Using envelopes all the time can get a little boring.

Make sure to play with the Feedback and filter settings of each ST module.
