Controlling an Analog Modular Synthesizer Using a Mandala Drum

Here's a quick video showing a Synesthesia Mandala Drum controlling a patch on my analog modular synth. The signal chain is as follows:

Mandala Drum
Pure Data
Presonus Firepod MIDI out
Blacet MIDIVERTER MIDI to CV (Control Voltage)
Moduar Synth (will post patch diagram on my blog shortly)
Presonus Firepod audio in
Ableton Live (compressor, short delay, and reverb)

The Mandala velocity CV signal is wired to the Noise Clock CV in on the Blacet Dark Star Chaos. The pad CC CV signal is wired to the Filter Cutoff CV in on the Filthy Filtre and the Carrier Frequency CV in on the Klang Werk.

In the background is an 808 beat, a soft synth bass, and a soft synth lead. Nothing flashy. Still trying to work out the video setup. Apologies for the grainy video.
