TONAL DROP THURSDAYS: Moog Slim Phatty Patch - "Industrial Grind"
Welcome to Week 8 of Tonal Drop Thursdays! This week, we are channeling the aggressive, machine-like textures of classic 90s industrial music. To do this, we are firing up the Moog Slim Phatty. While Moog is famous for creamy, smooth bass, the Phatty series has a dirty secret weapon perfect for heavy electronic music: the Overload circuit.

Welcome to Week 4 of Tonal Drop Thursdays! We are switching gears to the Moog Subharmonicon to explore the depths of polyrhythmic harmony.

TONAL DROP THURSDAYS: Arturia Pigments Patch - "Sub-Tek-Drone"

It leverages Pigments' unique structure by using two very different sound sources for a complex low-end.
