**External Audio Routing:**

-Main Audio outputs on channels 1 and 2

**Internal Audio Routing:**

-The output of 3 Basic Wave Players are fed into a Drum Bus

-The EOF output of the shaped dual envelope VCA are fed into a Formant filter

-The output of the formant filter goes into a VCA

-The VCA is mixed into the Drum Bus

-A sine wave VCO is fed into a VCA and mixed into the Drum Bus

-The output of the Drum Bus is fed into an Audible Instruments Texture Synthesizer

-The output of the Texture Synthesizer is fed into a plate reverb

**Internal CV Routing:**

-A push button triggers the play button on all 3 Basic Wav Players, as well as one channel of the Shaped Dual Envelope VCA

-The envelope output of channel one of the SHEV is fed into the time input of channel 2 to make the looping envelope faster and slower.

-That same modulation envelope changes the vowel and cutoff on the formant filter, as well as the FM on the sine wave VCO.

A - Click speed

B - Vowel
