Experimental Volca Jam w/ midiLFOs iOS app (2019-06-22)
I was looking for ways to modulate the reverb settings on the Ventris, and I found this cool iOS app called "midiLFOs". It gives you four LFOs that you can set to individual MIDI channels and CC numbers. For each LFO you can set different shapes, ranges and timings. It was a lot of fun to experiment with and was the starting point for this jam. The red ramp shape on the iPad represents the first LFO which modifies the reverb decay (time parameter on the Ventris).

Oh and yes: first time the Drum was included in the full setup! I used it for the glitchy noises you hear at the start and throughout the jam.
