Decided to try an all Mutable Instruments 3 module challenge.

Plaits is the only voice with some careful model switching it serves as both drum synth and lead. I achieve this with a 16th note trigger from t2 on Marbles with t1 and t3 (mixed and attenuated via Shades) modulating the model input on Plaits. With Marbles in drum pattern mode you can get a basic kick & snare pattern with a synth voice filling out the rest.

This patch has its limitations of course e.g. pitch is also fed to percussion sounds which ideally would only happen for main synth voice. This and other similar challenges could be overcome with more modules but the constraints are the beauty of the 3 module challenge. It's a fun performance patch but as you can hear things can go a little haywire as well :)

The only slight cheat I allow myself is external effects, but come on, one of my modules an attenuator!
