Microfreak is being freaky with an FM patch, and of course I'm messing with the envelopes!
Bit longer than the normal 8 mins due to that intro, where i'm slowly increasing the resolution on the Arpeggiator on the Microfreak until it gets to 16ths. during the intro, the Monologue is being triggered at seemingly random intervals, until it starts to pick up, then, it too is set to 16ths.
