I applaud all the things here. Mostly, I applaud this (holy smokes!): https://youtu.be/wqDm3DLclCk?t=359

This is really cool.

So it looks like the Winterbloom module is taking a "pitch CV" input in the range of 0-6V... what would typically generate this input in this type of setup? And what do all those other modules on the rack do?

Normally you'd use a sequencing module to send CV to the oscillator. I suspect that's where the orange patch cable is coming from.

The rest of the modules do a number of things. In the actual patch (so, in use) you can see a Quadrax working as an envelope generator, a VCA, a pan mixer, a filter (in this case Mutable Instruments' Blades). It'd be hard to explain modular in a HN comment, but if this interesting to you and you don't want to spend a lot of money (modular is expensive), give VCVrack a look.
