That's deliberate. I believe done with a voltage trigger, envelope generator
and a voltage-controlled filter. I like the effect.

I used that setup on my old PAIA home-built synthesizer back when I still
had an electric guitar. Like 45 years ago.

See the pictures of that synth here:

I do miss the old analog patch-em-up synthesizers.

But damn they cost.

That small DIY unit with a case is almost $300. They have a rack setup
with roughly the same equipment (plus a MIDI to control voltage converter)
for over $600.

Every one says that politicians lie all the time, and that just isn't so!
But you do have to understand body language to know when they're lying and
when they aren't.
 
When a politician rubs his nose, he isn't lying.
When a politician tugs on his ear, he isn't lying.
When a politician scratches his collar bone, he isn't lying.
When his mouth starts moving, that's when he's lying!
