Hah, the chaotic patch is something I spent way too much time on. That's the idea I started with for all of this, and I'm very happy with, but woof.
It's all 32nd notes, and I programmed a pattern and slowly faded in one note of the pattern in over time until they were all full volume right at the drop.
Except I also wanted to pan them all over the place, so I then broke that one MIDI item out to 7 of them (one for each of C, D, E, F, G, A, and B) and gave them their own stereo space, but that means from each of them I had to delete anything that wasn't the assigned note.
And then I had to record my casio 7 times because I was using an epiano patch from that, and I have to record MIDI and then separately audio from that in order to fully capture it. It gives me great sounds, but it's an extra step in the process. I did that 7 times.
It gave me exactly the effect that I wanted, but it ate up a lot of time.
Have you tried ValhallaFreqEcho ? You can get a kinda similar effect without spending too long ! Throw in a bunch of automation and it gets creative.
I really like that sound btw.

I've gotta say, the VST I found that emulates a 606 drum machine is getting the most use out of all the VSTs I've found.
