Modulation Math
This device combines two modulation signals using math, and outputs a signal you can then map to a parameter.

"Man shakes fist at sky" could very well be the most important parable for all of us.
Understand what you can actually control.
Let go of the rest because holding onto it is a futile self-burn from the inside.

It's cool that if a company uses Google for email, you can use autocomplete in your personal GMail to find out someone's work email address. Just start guessing name@company.com and once you get a name and photo in the popup, you've found them! I let Google know and they told me it was not a bug. :/
