# April 27 - Restricted Palette Challenge

## Focus
Prove that the musical idea survives when the module count drops.

## Modules
Choose only six modules total, including at least one clock source, one drum voice, one pad voice, one utility, and one effect

## Manuals To Skim
Only the six modules you choose today

## 60-Minute Plan
1. `0:00-0:10` Choose the six modules and write down why each one earned its place.
2. `0:10-0:25` Build a complete miniature patch from them.
3. `0:25-0:40` Create one evolution path using routing or modulation rather than adding modules.
4. `0:40-0:55` Perform a two-minute piece.
5. `0:55-1:00` Identify which missing module you wanted most and whether you truly needed it.

## Questions
- Which module did the most work today?
- What did limitation reveal about your habits?
- Did the reduced system sound clearer or merely smaller?
- Which utility became essential once options shrank?
- What does this exercise say about your future patch planning?
