Oscillator A carries a sample I made by doing some overtone singing while testing a new portable recorder. This sample was then processed with GRM Evolution. The result was imported into Metasynth and resynthed/furtherly mangled in the Image Synth, the result is the sample for Channel B. Osc A+B run in Granular mode, sample playhead position and speed controlled by a looped envelope. Macro 1 controls the speed of that envelope, turning it down will increase the speed (and the fun). Osc C carries a custom wave in Sync Granular Mode run through a BPF Filter. All Oscillators are processed by a Ringmodulator, control the Balance with Macro 6 and the RM pitch with Macro 7. The Modwheel controls the Cloudfilter Balance in the Master section, you can also control the Cutoff of the LPF 4 Pole Filter in that section with Macro 5. Macros 2-4 are assigned to the individual Channel volumes. Macros 8+12 are for controlling Pitch modulation and it's speed. The Resonator in the FX section is controllable with Macros 9-11.
Please check the envelope and LFO section for further modulation sources and targets.

Channel A carries a sample I made in Metasynth by respectralizing the attack phase of a metal Bowl using a Multi FM Synth. The Oscillator is set to Granular mode, sample speed at 4%, randomize the Grain pitch with Macro 1. This sound is run through a Supercomb filter, control it's waveshaped resonance with Macro 7 and it's pitch with Macro 5. The sample is furtherly processed by a Waveshaper, you can activate a temposynced envelope for the WS Input with Macro 2. Channel B uses a saw wave run through a Lowpass Filter with waveshaped resonance and a Cloudfilter. Control the LP Cutoff with Macro 6 and the Cloudfilter Balance with Macro 8. More waveshaping takes place in the Master section and another velocity sensitive Lowpass Filter smoothes the signal before it hits the Aetherizer which has Macros 9-12 assigned to various parameters. The Modwheel controls a temposynced square-shaped LFO, control the LFO speed with Macro 14 (CC11). Control the individual channel volumes with Macros 3 and 4.
Please check the envelope and LFO section for further modulation sources and targets.
