How are y'all using your C4 synths?

I use mine quite a bit as I'm in a couple different cover bands. I feel the most studio accurate ones I use are for Michael Jackson's PYT, and Pony by Ginuwine. These and several others benefit greatly from running an Atlas comp in front of the C4. I use a couple different octavers for several random cover songs, a synth and envelope combo for Carl Carlton's Bad Mamma Jamma, a Bruno Mars 24K Magic patch, Blinding Light by The Weekend, and probably a couple others I'm forgetting.

I just got one. For the six presets, they are mostly funky envelope filter type with a synth voice added. I one that triggers a sequence the really get's percussive and I loop that before it fades and use it for a few solo numbers. Then I have a Pigtronix Phaser Envelope recreation, one swell, one lead and Moog type patch. I prefer to always add more natural bass. Atlast compressor in front and sometimes I also have an EQ2 preset to improve the tracking. I also have the spectrum in case the C4 goes bonkers in a live situation. Many of the artifacts or glitches can be sweetened by a delay or collider pedal.
