NOTES:
There's so much going on in this jam, but I think this is all the elements. A looping bass snippet on the SP and bass sequence on Minitaur. A main arpeggio on the OB-6 and main sequence on the Matriarch. A higher secondary sequence the two Deckard's Voices + Rachel. Buchla C/G drone. Buchla percussion to drone effect. The ambient patch at the beginning is the Double Helix going through some pedals, including the amazing Ashville Music Tools ADG1 delay. The played pads/lead is a sample-based Jupiter 8 patch on the MC-101.
