Do you have a controller to program in things like over all BPM or do you have to do that for each module? Plus I am assuming you do your mixing and eq after it's recorded? The balance is great and all is crystal clear across the board.
How I do what depends on what "Experiment" I'm trying to do. If I'm doing a song in my DAW, I can multi-track it using MIDI for the timing, recording each sound separate, but in this case the whole thing is being run by a "clock" module that synchronizes everything that needs to land on the beat, no proper sequencers on this one. The audio is 100% live, going through a new mixer module, funneling it all down to 2 channels of audio with me changing levels manually (that's what most of the hand waving is - usually 0 to some pre-set maximum I'd already adjusted so I wouldn't overshoot, though some resonant EQ filter stuff was done by hand too), so on this one the DAW mixing was after the fact was just a touch of low/high end shelving and compression, the rest of the mix was all done inside the mess of modules.
