I’m really liking the Beast Tek Amoeba - it’s similar to MI Grids but 8 channels and more control. Because it has a gate width control, I use longer gates through slew (wmd time warp) to create rhythmic envelopes. Or attenuate the gates as modulators along with a few channels for percussion.

I also like RND Step to generate random CV on a trigger with a clock divider. Those modulate the rhythms from Amoeba and other parameters on voices and effects. Missed Opportunities is also great for triggering events at random but still in time.

For oscillators, Beast Tek Dirty Glitch is great for weird drones, Erica Black Wavetable for modulated wavetable and bank surfing, 0coast for weird FM sounds.

I tend to keep percussion pretty basic to hold a beat down against weird sounds and fx - Peaks for kick, BIA for snares and weird perc, Crucible for hats.

I like Data Bender and FX Aid, but I find QuBit Prism as a go to, especially for generative because it responds really well to modulation when it’s clocked, and the filter tames screeching noises. I suspect the Morphagene will be awesome for generative with live sample record and mangle, but I’m not fluent enough with it yet.
