A month or two ago, I finally succeeded in using the Disting mk4's I-J algorithm, "Audio Playback." I was so excited about getting the recording of an overloaded washing machine ratting items in my apartment playing that I have yet to actually use its features other than play back an audio file.
In the video above, the rattling noise is run through a phaser effect on the FX Aid XL, as well as Ears. Ears is sending triggers and an envelope that at times modulates the phaser and the wavefolder on the Befaco Pony oscillator. The field recording also frequency modulates the oscillator at times. Finally, there is a channel of the oscillator ring modulated with the field recording.
When I got into modular, the idea of a fully analog signal chain appealed to me. Clearly, this patch relies heavily on digital modules, and it confirmed somewhat my hesitation to get digital modules. When I set the feedback too high on the phaser, it can get glitchy in appealing ways, but also in annoying clippy ways. I don't hate the digital artifacts or things that sound digitally processed, but it's not necessarily what I want out of Eurorack.
