Yes, that's pretty much the picture. The challenge is in setting up the
modules, i.e. their programming. While the music itself is the result of
more-or-less random procedures the sounds themselves are typically
closely designed (read: I spend a lot of time tuning the modules to an
expected behavior).

To be clear, that's Ardour6 very-beta, built from git sources.

In 1625 the editing was straightforward, just selecting and merging
sections of two tracks. The synchronization was easy in this case, and
the only other process involved was a normalization pass. Incidentally,
things were done this way because Rack gets cranky when my patches hit a
certain load limit. I designed the patch for a single performance pass,
but it's too big a hit on my CPU (a 3.5 GHz 6-core AMD). Hence the
multiple takes. In sum, for this recording I added a little more than a
minute to the original by interpolating the "bridge" section.

Thanks for listening, Chris, and thank you for your inquiry as to how it
all got made.

Best regards,

dp
