hello,
a few quite simple a196 patch examples:
(sorry, this is a long post...)
in the following examples the same 8-note sequence is
repeated over and over (coming from an a155 + a156).
each note also generates a trigger signal (a155).
this trigger starts an adsr with each note, which
opens the final vca (a131). beware, the sound is
a bit harsh sometimes ;-)
also no live tweaking in these examples.
1.
the first file is the pure square output of an a110,
which plays the sequence. this will be the source
for the a196 in all examples.

patch details:
pitch cv --> a110(a) cv1 input
a110(a) square --> a131 signal in (to recorder)
2.
next you hear the a196 vco output, when the
a110 squarewave is fed into input 2 of the a196.

a196 settings:
offs = 5 ; range = mid ; type = 3 ; lowpass = 0
now, what can we do to turn this upside down
3.
this one uses another a110 at the a196 input 1,
which plays the same sequence 1 octave higher.
notice the variations, they are generated because
of a slight detune between both vco's.

a110(a) square --> a196 phase comp Input 2
a110(b) square --> a196 phase comp Input 1
a196 vco output --> a131 signal in (to recorder)
a196 settings:
offs = 5 ; range = mid ; type = 3 ; lowpass = 0
a110(b) + 1 octave up
4.
now the second a110 is removed from the a196 input 1.
the a196 vco output is now fed back into the cv-input
of the first a110. an a171, modulated by the pitch-cv,
replaces the built-in a196 lowpass filter. listen to
the rhythmic variations, these are all created by the
the patch, without any tweaking.

a110(a) settings:
cv2 input = 4
a171 settings:

5.
the a171 is replaced by a combination of a138c,
a149/1 and a147.

man n = 6 (fully clockwise)
a138c settings:

6.
same as example 5, but without a149/1 and without
the a110 cv modulation through the a196 vco,
but with a fair portion of a196 lowpass filtering.

7.
this one uses an a108 bandpass between a196 vco output
and a196 phase comp input 1. the a108 is swept by an a147.

as said, these patches are quite simple, but even those
are very effective. in a more complex patch even wilder
things can be done :-)
