Korg Mono/Poly Acid
Just a bit of fun, the pattern was one of the acid tracks versions i did before (the first one i think) dumped into logic from the midibass II then driving the mono/poly from silent way.
The Mono/Poly sure gets wild after a while. Sorry about it being a bit dark, I need to get a better solution for lighting that side of the studio.

Using Korg SyncKontrol (iOS) as a modular clock
Here's how to use the free iOS app SyncKontrol from Korg with your modular synth.
At the very least you will need to amplify the output and ideally use something like a Maths to control the pulsewidth of the clock, though it will work without one if amplified.
Here's a schematic for a DIY noninverting amplifier.

"Acid Tracks" in 5 mins Redux
After chatting last week with Dylab from http://acidboxblues.blogspot.com about getting Phuture's Acid Tracks transcribed properly he sent me this picture.

This one was transcribed by Shaggie, and it would seem he nailed it, so I thought it could be fun to do another Acid Tracks in 5 mins. (Ok it's not actually 5 mins, more like 4 and a half)
Anyway, what you hear is the TR-707. TR-727 and the TB-303. As per the original everything is drenched in reverb and I added a very slight tube distortion on the TB-303 since on the original recording it sounds a little driven.
Sure this jam is not 100% perfect but certainly very close, enjoy!
