a16z partner Martin Casado shows an 'old meets new' setup: an AI bot helps him come up with new ambient and drone patches for his analog modular synth, partially driven by the agent. He says he now listens to his modular droning while coding and writing. In follow-ups he mentions Mutable Instruments gear and notes agents can drive VCV software synths, though he prefers real hardware.
