Good day

I have been experimenting a lot with the stock devices and discovered
A neat way of mixing CV signal in thor and allowing additional thor
Modules to drive a filter sequence in Europa. The The Lfo on third thor, is driving the
Mix values and thereby the step sequencer rate mix between the two
Sequences . i

I'm not sure I'm following 100% - the results you get in the end is the same as what you get with a random LFO patched to the filter inside Europa.

I say that because as far as I can tell you are taking two random signals (Thor step sequencers) and crossfading between them.
It's like crossfading between two noise sources - randomly switching between two random signals still gives you a random signal on the output.

If I'm understanding your idea correctly, it would be more interesting/unique if (in your example/demonstration) the two CV sources were different from each other (like a square and sine, or random and periodic waveforms) so you could appreciate the fact you are switching between two different sources. Then take LFO 2 on the CV mixer Thor and make its waveform random, and things start to get interesting IMO!

I hope I'm not missing something obvious here, apologies in advance if I've missed the point!

Thanks for asking. So the first step sequencer rate would have to be different
And the Lfo Used to mix the two sequencers ,.positively on the one and
Negatively on the other one. .That would be the main difference between
The two. One could attach two more thors with slightly different steps and rates
And then mix between four thors.
