City of Lost Geometry

In this one I tried to work a bit with the stereo field.

I like the fx system a lot, but I also dont really understand how it
works.

Some stuff I noted while working on this track:

- If I want to arrive at a particular effect chain reproducible, it
doesnt seem to work to create the effect chain in one go, rather the
effect must be added by hand, with a slight delay.

like this:
(clear-fx grunge-bass)
(clear-fx ks1 )
(clear-fx dub-kick )
(clear-fx tb303 )
(clear-fx city-speech )
(clear-fx snare )

(inst-fx! grunge-bass fx-g-verb)
(inst-fx! ks1 fx-echo)
(inst-fx! ks1 fx-echo)
(inst-fx! ks1 fx-freeverb)
(inst-fx! ks1 fx-freeverb)
(inst-fx! ks1 fx-freeverb)

(inst-fx! dub-kick fx-echo)

- If I fiddle around with adding effects and arrive at a nice sound, there
I couldnt find a way to introspect the current fx chain for an inst,
to see how I got to the sound I liked.
I tried stuff like looking at the fx-group: of an inst, but that
returned empty result. I also tried show-graphviz-synth.

- If I have a couple of fx on an inst, and then turn the inst volume
down to 0, I still hear a sound, the sound sounds more like theres no fx
at all.

In the track I use (toggle-vol city-speech) to toggle the
volume,

(defn toggle-vol [myinstr]
(inst-volume! myinstr (if (= 1 (deref (:volume myinstr))) 0 1 )))
