In this patch I created a deep (oct 1) bassline on VCO1, a chirpy bird sound (oct 6) on VCO3 and a nice synth-layer in the middle (oct 4) on VCO2. VCO1 is doing all the heavy lifting from a notes and groove perspective. VCO 2 + 3 are more rhythmical. More drum-like. VCO3 is just one note held for half the bar. This creates an interesting effect as the Filter EG is triggerd by other notes of the sequence.
The most important part of the sound is the LFO (connected to the Filter Cutoff) creating this FM-like / instable feeling.

The VolcaShare code repository was unceremoniously created ten years ago, on March 12, 2016.
Since then, it's grown from an experimental Volca Bass patch database using WebMIDI into a
home for Volca Keys patches and browser-based emulators too.
To celebrate the ten years, I'm introducing something fun:
Mystery Patch,a daily challenge where you recreate a hidden synth patch by ear.
Thanks for popping in, checking out the patches, sharing your own, and playing with the emulators.
