Moog Labyrinth combines east & west coast synth, with two generative sequencers designed for improvising ideas endlessly. I'll first explain the voice (1:46), then the sequencers (11:32), then I'll explore the possibilities sonically from (26:32) combining Labyrinth with 3 x DFAMs, Mother-32, TR8, and more.

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE LABYRINTH'S INVENTOR'S MUSIC
Several times in this video I mention Max Ravitz who records & performs as 'Patricia'. Max conceived Labyrinth and brings his unique perspective and broad gear experience to this device. He's also an upsettingly good musician. Strongly recommend checking out his tunes if you like chicago house/dusty cassette acid techno/90's Warp Records - he's got the ear for a riff. Here's a couple of example bangers to start with, check out the full albums/EPs and all the rest, and there's live sets on YouTube if you seek them out:
