Paraphonic setup with Therevox, Erebus and Dark Energy

Connected the Therevox ET-4.3 and the Dreadbox Erebus v2 together to create 4 note chords. The Doepfer Dark Energy creates the "drum" sounds and is triggered by its own LFO. The Envelope output on the Erebus is connected to the Expression input on the Therevox and controls its VCA. The Ring output on the Therevox is connected to the CV input on the Erebus and controls its pitch. The two oscillators on the Erebus are 2 octaves apart and the pitch is relative to the Ring position on the Therevox. The pitch of the two oscillators on the Therevox is tuned 19 semitones (1 octave plus a 5th) above and 24 semitones (2 octaves) above, relative to the lowest C on the keyboard controller. For example, if you play a D with the ring on the Therevox and a C and D# on the keyboard, you will get a D minor chord with the notes (from lowest to highest): D, A, D and F. The "drums" from the Dark Energy is a single track with EQ automation (mostly high-pass filter) to emulate different drum sounds. All the instruments are recorded live and no other instrument tracks were added, just effects (delay, reverb, etc.). Effects used on Therevox ET-4.3:
