# Moog - Labyrinth Leads Mother-32 - SignalPath Patch: [[Patches/Moog/Moog - Labyrinth Leads Mother-32]] Build: [[Patches/Moog/Moog - Labyrinth Leads Mother-32 - Build|Build]] ## Overview Labyrinth writes a mutating in-key lead for the Mother-32, answers with its own voice, and clocks an 8-step DFAM loop. Listen at all three rear outputs. ```mermaid flowchart LR Lab[Labyrinth] -- "SEQ1 pitch" --> M32[Mother-32 lead] Lab -- "SEQ1 trig" --> M32 Lab -- "SEQ2 CV" --> M32 Lab -- "CLOCK" --> DF[DFAM drums] Lab --> Mix[mixer] M32 --> Mix DF --> Mix linkStyle 0 stroke:#9e9e9e,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 1 stroke:#d62828,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 2 stroke:#1e63d6,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 3 stroke:#2a9d3a,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 4 stroke:#222,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 5 stroke:#222,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 6 stroke:#222,stroke-width:3px ``` **Cable colors:** [[Cable Colors]] after [Learning Modular](https://learningmodular.com/choosing-patch-cables/): ⚪ Gray 1 V/oct · 🔵 Blue modulation · 🟡 Yellow audio · 🔴 Red gates/triggers · 🟢 Green clock/sync · ⚫ Black external ## Why the lead stays in key and mutates Labyrinth SEQ1 CV, quantized to a minor or pentatonic scale, goes to the Mother-32 VCO 1V/OCT. SEQ1 TRIG goes to GATE. The Mother-32 sequencer stays stopped in KB mode, keys untouched, because Labyrinth's CV sums with the KB CV. SEQ1 LENGTH is 7, RANGE around 9 to 10 o'clock (the manual says about 9 o'clock is roughly an octave), and CORRUPT is low so the line mutates slowly. Save a good one with BUFFER. ## Why the notes are short The Labyrinth TRIG outputs are short triggers, so the Mother-32 note length comes from DECAY, not from gate length. Attack is fully down, decay just before noon, sustain off, VCA in EG mode, with a little glide and VCF MOD AMOUNT at zero. SEQ2 CV, on a 5-step length, is the only thing moving the cutoff. ## Why the phrases slide past each other Labyrinth CLOCK drives DFAM ADV / CLOCK, and DFAM ignores its own tempo on an external clock, so it loops a plain 8-step kick, snare and noise pattern under a 7-step lead. Labyrinth's own sine-and-fold voice answers only on SEQ2's triggers (EG TRIG MIX fully clockwise), an octave above the Mother-32. The 7, the 5 and the 8 never reset together. ## Short version Labyrinth is the composer, the Mother-32 is the lead, and DFAM walks a shorter loop underneath.
