Nice! What is the signal chain? Resonant band pass filters?

No resonant filters at all, just 4 sine voices. Signal chain is: 4 unsynced slow clocks with different phases -> random pick from a 6-note modal scale + random octave -> mtof -> sine oscillator -> simple AR envelope -> sum to mono -> short 3ms comb for thickening.
And potentiometers A0 = root / transpose A1 = detune amount A2 = humanize attack/release time A3 = clock speed

Fab this. this will sound great through an effects pedal

Ye indeed , tho mozzi has reverb it messes up the sound sinthesis , so next step is adding some reverb with a pt2399 , it gives out vc tho wich is nice for generative music :)

A little update on the synth added an rc filter and some diode filtering to the output signal . Added a button for changing between modal scales.

Beautiful. I’d love to play with the code when it hits Github
