Hi Kieranjonesmusic, All,

Kieranjonesmusic: Welcome to modular synthesizers and as almost everybody mentioned already, go for a bigger case is the best hint we can provide to you. If you don't mind to spend the money then the Intellijel 7U 104 HP case is a nice one. If you want a budget case then keep reading.

You might want to start with a "classic & simple" synthesizer setup, meaning start with two VCOs, one or two filters, two VCAs (one for linear, the other one exponential), one or two LFOs, again one or two EGs, a mixer and an I/O module to go external though some of our members here do this without the I/O module, up to you, can't say haven't warned you to be careful then with DC signals ;-) I haven't even mentioned other utility modules yet, which would be the next step and only after that the more fancy looking modules (if at all). Since you have already those two lovely Make Noise - 0-coast and 0-ctrl modules, you got already some quite nice stuff there together with the above classic setup that isn't even that simple as one might think!

Your video and track is nicely done by the way! You almost fulfil the new "requirement" here of 17 minutes, but that's for a drone, so I guess your 13 minutes are fantastic for a starter ;-) Actually... your track is so beautifully done... why bothering to go into modular synth? Modular synth is bloody costly and with a track like the above, I would just continue that way; would save tons of money ;-)

All: Not sure why this Mantis case is always mentioned as being the best case to start with since it would be the cheapest one, it always puzzled me a bit, so let's have a look into more details, shall we? ;-)

I will base the prices on a very well known online seller, wouldn't name it but it starts with a T and ends with an N ;-) Prices are here for Germany, but similar elsewhere.

The price of the Tip Top Mantis Blue is at Euro 339, for that you get 2 rows, each row at 104 HP thus a total of 2 x 104 = 208 HP.
This means a price per HP you pay of Euro 339 / 208 = Euro 1.63/HP. Okay not too bad indeed and we all know this is one of the cheapest cases we can get, right?

Then the Doepfer - A-100LC9 comes at Euro 398, for that you get 3 rows, each row at 84 HP thus a total of 3 x 84 = 252 HP.
That means for this A-100LC9 you pay per HP the Euro 398 / 252 = Euro 1.58/HP. That's 5 cents per HP cheaper, i.e. 5 x 252 HP = Euro 12.60 cheaper than the Mantis, if that one would come in 252 HP.

Now that difference is minimal, I agree. But let's have a look into the Doepfer - A-100LMS9, that one comes at a price of Euro 718, for that you will get also 3 rows however at 168 HP per row, meaning a total of 3 x 168 = 504 HP.
That means the A-100LMS9 gives you a price of Euro 718 / 504 HP = Euro 1.42 per HP, and that's much cheaper than the Mantis ;-)
That is a difference per HP of Euro 0.21 * 504 HP = Euro 105.84, so the Doepfer is about Euro 106 cheaper than the Mantis (if there would be a Mantis of 504 HP)...

I don't mind if one mentions that a Mantis is a good choice but can we please agree that we would say then that getting a Mantis would be a good 2nd choice and the best choice (best as in cheap) is the Doepfer ;-) ?

Just pulling a leg here but wanted to make a point here at the same time :-) Enjoy modular and kind regards, Garfield.

Doepfer, Doepfer, Doepfer. Best beginner case imho ;-)

Edit: See below my next post for an explanation.

Hi Sacguy,

Yes smart move to get directly Voltera and Axxent expander modules with your Metron, makes sense!

Ha, ha, to me it sounds like for a while (after you receive the Metron + expanders + Eloquencer) you have enough sequencers for your racks :-) Now trying to bundle them together and let them all work together in harmony might be the largest challenge ;-) I have the same challenge with my trio of Drum Sequencer (Erica Synths), Vector and Sinfonion :-)

Let's hope that UPS delivery person doesn't get shot in down town Sacramento (but I guess and hope the shooting has stopped by now?) so you get your Metron by today ;-) Have fun later with the Metron and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

I am glad to hear that you still have a nice job and place in your rack in mind for the Stillson :-)

Of course I bought the Jack Expander for the Vectron (Five12) as well, otherwise it doesn't make much sense, now does it? So up to 6 output channels, each having: pitch, gate and velocity outputs and 8 triggers as well with that Jack Expander, so that makes the Vector kind of complete. I just hope that for the (far) future Five12 will consider to make those Jack Expanders chainable or something so one can extend the sequencer over time. That concept has been thought through a bit better with the Metron!

...then again... with the Metron I do miss the other direction possibilities besides forward sequencing, like: backward and random play.

When does your Metron arrive? Can't wait man! ;-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Mowse,

Pity, I am getting an error: "Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner" :-(

Well, I hope your next track will be viewable and especially audible again here at our forum :-)

Kind regards, Garfield.

Oh yes, Jingo is back! :-)

Hi Jingo,

That's a lovely track, wow what did I miss your music, I just realise! :-) Beautiful done, nice tense, building that tense up and oh no, now I am getting goose bumps as well...

To shortcut the prose... I wish every new year starts with a track of yours like this! Now this is what I call a fantastic entrance into 2021! Thank you very much for this and I wish you a Happy New Year too! Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

Looks like that besides a Noise Engineering fan you also become a WMD fan ;-)

So what is going to happen with your Stillson when your WMD Metron arrives, does the Stillson becomes... kind of jobless? :-( and ;-)

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Marchettijes,

Welcome to modular synths! :-) The A-138o has a Main Level knob only but with the A-138p module you can per channel use the Gain and the Level knobs to adjust your signal and that's good enough. I use the A-138p & A-138o combination and I am pretty happy with it. Only one little side remark the A-138p does bleed a little bit, but only a little bit and it would only disturb people like me who are very sensitive to any kind of side noises otherwise you would barely hear it and if you aren't as over-sensitively as I am, you don't need to be worried about that little bleeding issue (it's barely audible, but for me it is).

Keep in mind that you need at least one A-138p module and just one A-138o module, then you have a four-channel (performance) mixer. In the future if you need more channels you just add one more A-138p module and you got yourself then an eight-channel mixer :-) You can extend more A-138p modules to get even more channels.

Regarding the Doepfer A-190-x modules, those MIDI to CV modules, I had the Doepfer A-190-5 module in the past and I didn't like it, somehow not logical in use, difficult to set the MIDI parameters, just not easy to use. I exchanged that module against the Vermona - qMI2 module and that one is great, 4 channels (like the A-190-5) and it's so easy and so logical to use, no problems with that module.

I am usually very positive about Doepfer modules however the A-190-x modules are the exception, those A-190-x modules, I can not recommend them.

Good luck and kind regards, Garfield Modular.

Hey Sacguy71,

Isn't that a great title for your new track? "The Gun Shots From Sacramento" ;-)

I keep forgetting that you got an Octratrack, you can do beautiful things with that one too!

I wish Hertz Donut was about half the price, I never see a good offer on that one here but I will keep an eye on it, you never know if one day indeed a good offer is available for this interesting module.

Kind regards and take care, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

With some delay I received yesterday the E950 Circuit Bent VCO from Synthesis Technology, so lots of (Texas Instruments) speech fun. So busy with that one that my Vector has to wait a bit longer. I need some hours in one stretch so I can give it a serious start at the Vector (I actually did already but I need even more time to go a bit deeper into it); still hoping to return to my Vector soon. So one thing I decided is that I am not going to buy further modules for a while so I have time to explore a bit more the E950 and the Vector.

I hope you receive your Metron soon :-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

Wow, the beginning of this track is fantastic! It reminds me of some superb tv-series but can't remember which one.

So... how do you like Marbles? Looks great in your rack. I got Rings and Plaits, would Marbles be a good side companion to Rings & Plaits in your opinion?

Sample those gun shots sounds and use that in your music, something which would be impossible to do here in Europe ;-)

Thank you very much for sharing and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

He, he, nice fun track! Thank you, you have a Happy New Year too! Kind regards, Garfield.

Yeah

Hi Zuggamasta,

Ha, ha, lovely track with lots of fun sounds and it's nice to see you at work with your self-built case and tons of DIY modules. So the Disting Mk IV and the Ear are that your first two non-DIY modules? :-)

Well, thanks a lot for sharing this and I wish you and everyone a good start into 2021 too! Happy New Year! Kind regards, Garfield.

Ha, ha, spot on!

(Said the guilty one...)

Hi The Erc,

Wow, 42 minutes of 500 sweaty people in one basement ;-) For those 42 minutes you have tons of variations, full with high energy, amazing actually to come up with such a long track that never really get bored because you seriously full-packed it with one sonic surprise after the other!

And indeed, those hats are lovely, so jealous :-) !

Thank you very much for sharing this, Happy New Year and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Broken-Form,

Wow, great video that Northern Thunder and the music is seriously tense and exciting, a lovely combination the video and your music! That video... is that computer generated or something real? It looks so amazing! And almost kind of scary :-)

I am able to watch that Midnight Moon video too, great one too! It's the same kind of tense music you are creating there too and combined with the lovely video it fits again superb! :-)

Nice work and I am glad you are sharing this with us, thank you very much! Happy New Year and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Diego,

Yes good point to chew for a while on something before buying it, can't harm :-) Just don't wait yet another year because then indeed it might be difficult to get that Black Dual VCF module...

Thank you very much, I wish you, Lugia and everyone here in this forum a Happy New Year too and let's keep CV-ing in 2021 ;-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

Or an extensive dual VCA for stereo purposes for some stereo fun might be an idea?

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gabor,

Wow, this is good fun and a great track! I love this one, thank you very much for sharing this with us at the end of 2020 :-)

Thank you very much, I wish you and everyone a Happy New Year and some more happy modulation and modular synth fun in 2021 too! Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience between the Befaco and the Intellijel joysticks, very interesting to know.

Indeed Intellijel and Make Noise seem to have some serious availability issues :-(

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Troux,

Yeah, a nice long enjoyable track from you again, lovely! :-)

He, he, the first few moments, I actually thought I clicked the wrong button or something and I thought I was listening to the demo track & video about that Toraiz - Squid Multitrack Sequencer:

One of your sounds sounds quite similar to the main lead voice/sound of that above demo :-)

Nice one and I can't wait for your compilation file. Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

I even didn't know Befaco had a joystick module, so far I was always thinking of Intellijel versus joystick module hence Planar II. Nice demo video, thanks for making the Befaco joystick known :-)

Ha, ha, you got some really funny & weird sounds in that demo! :-)

Recently I heard that Doepfer is coming up with a joystick module too (A-174-4), I might go for that one but let's see first.

Have fun with the joystick module and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

I fully agree here with Farkas. One can't say, if you have (just an example here) more than 10 oscillators but only 4 VCAs then you don't have enough VCAs... it's not that straight forward. It depends completely on the patch you are currently busy with and if you feel that you are missing a few VCAs and that kind of feeling/experience repeats with other new patches then indeed it's time to get a few more VCAs :-)

But if you insist on checking on the oscillators per VCA rate... I don't feel it's "fair" (for calculation purposes) to count percussion/drum modules as an oscillator as well. So if you stick to pure oscillators versus VCAs only...

Ha, ha, very coincidentally I am exactly to a 1:1 rate, so my number of oscillators is, at my current setup, exactly (not even a difference of one) the same as my number of VCAs; interesting/funny exercise. The way I counted is for VCAs: I only count pure VCAs, no overdrives, no mixers that have VCA functionality in them, though a dual VCA I count for 2, a quad for 4, etcetera. The same for the VCOs/DCOs, no matter if they have multiple outputs, I just count them as one unless it's a dual VCO then I counted it for 2, etcetera. As mentioned as well, I didn't count other modules like drums/percussion and sample modules as being an oscillator, otherwise I would have a bit more than VCAs indeed.

Though, again I don't think you should approach it this way.

For my own setup I sometimes still feel I have too less VCAs; recently I bought a few extra VCAs because before that I definitely had too less VCAs. Now slowly I feel it's time to get a few more oscillators ;-) You should follow your guts when you are patching! If you are during patching in the urge of some more VCAs and you ran out of them... well, that seems a clear signal to me that you need more VCAs, and vice versa of course if you feel you have a lack of oscillators.

Good luck with the module planning and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Homeslice1479,

You most probably checked that already but just to make sure all options have been checked... did you check with the Panel Selector On option (right upper corner) and then at the left bottom (of the pedal itself in your pedal board overview) clicking on those arrows you can go through the different front panels, you also can't find it there?

If you indeed can't find it there then indeed it might be a bug. Did you then tried to reload the picture?

Kind regards and good luck with the troubleshooting, Garfield Modular.

Edit: Correction/update.

Hi The-Erc,

Wow, you got yourself a nice little Christmas gift there! Such a little box, but such a big sound! You nicely demonstrate that here in your jam! Love to see those flashing lights of the BSP even if only one channel is in use :-D

I think, the DFAM was a little bit sad here, that kind of elder child that got suddenly less attention because you got a new baby, the Werkstatt-1 ;-)

Your jam makes me to (re-) consider the Werkstatt-1, thank you very much for sharing this and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi The-Erc,

If you are willing to spend one-third of a HP per EG more, i.e. 2.67 HP/EG than consider the Triple AD from Hikari Instruments, I love that module. It can go from slow to fast ADs. If I remember well that if you don't use the first two ADs but only the third one (and you switch on both other unused ADs) those non-used-ADs are then normalised to the last AD; not 100% sure, since the manual is a bit limited but even using them as separate ADs, I love to use them, clear, easy, direct usages, 2.67hp/EG, what do you want more? ;-)

It might be a bit difficult to get one; I was lucky to get one during my last year's holiday in Japan.

Or, depending on how you are looking at it, the Doepfer - A-141-4 Quad ADSR; if you don't mind the same setting for all four ADSRs ;-) Then it's at 2 HP/EG. I know, this module is more meant for polyphonic approaches but you could misuse it, if you would like to :-)

Or the Erica Synths - Pico VC EG at 3 HP? If Pico modules is your cup of tea that is. It comes including loop functionality.
Or the Erica Synths - Pico Modulator at 3 HP which is an EG + VCA! So 1.5 HP per functionality ;-)

Then again, I think you shouldn't look too much into modules that deliver too much functionality on a too small HP surface, sooner or later that might go either on your nerves or if not at least in less comfortable user interface usage. Sometimes a single or a dual functionality on a full blown HP surface is still the best approach and gives you full functionality of everything you (might) need. Naturally, up to you to decide which way to go :-)

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Diego,

Perhaps you should buy an additional (monster) rack and get less worried about HP space ;-) I got quite a few VCAs but that Waldorf - DVCA1 is the best so far. I still want to try the ACL - VCA I have high expectations (on the quality) there too, but from a user interface point of view, I love the DVCA1, it's seriously worth it, that's why I bought a second unit quite some while ago and now I am considering to buy a third unit of it, it's that good :-) You don't have to CV (can "to CV" be a verb? :-) ) both linear and exponential, I usually CV only the exponential but manually you can adjust the knobs for linear as well as exponential and that gives it the extra touch. Beside that, and because of that (lin+exp both at the same time possible) you can boost the signal quite seriously (it can cause a distortion if you go too far with that; easily to be detected by a red LED that quite accurately indicates if you are going over the edge, i.e. going into distortion). If I have soft/low signals, I usually use the DVCA1 to boost it up. I am sure there are VCAs that can boost the signal even stronger than the DVCA1 can do but for me it's enough at +13.5 dB.

But okay, if you insist on not going bigger with your cases, then check out the Patching Panda - Punch module (I got the old version, it was a special offer; there is now a newer version 2 I think), that's really a punchy VCA module, I love that one too, totally different from the DVCA1 though and sometimes I feel the Punch module is unclear in usage but if you have sharp/punchy fast repetitive sounds that needs to get some kick in the a*** then Punch comes in handy!

If you hold a gun at my head and I have to make a choice between QPAS or the Black Dual VCF, then it's definitely going to be the Black Dual VCF. It's more direct control, easier to understand (at the beginning, on a more deeper level both modules shouldn't be under estimated their complexity though), and more... how to put that under words... direct fun (with QPAS it's a longer learning curve kind of fun)? If you want to play with the resonance then this Black Dual VCF module is yours! It can get totally crazy nuts but it's rather easy to keep the resonance under control as well. If you want an example of how this Black Dual VCF sounds, check out this track of mine:

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/8963

I demo there exactly this module! :-)

That kind of "searching for the frog" sound, I am "searching" that with this Black Dual VCF module, almost everything you hear here is almost all done by this Black Dual VCF!

For some more details please read my text at/in the above link and listen to that demo track, it should convince you to get this module! :-D

In this demo track I brought the resonance (far) over the edge :-) But you can control it a bit more subtle than I did here too.

I copy one of my comments here from that post:

I just can't stop playing with this filter, it really invites you to play around with it.

I hope that demo track will convince you and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

I just received the Vector + expander from Five12. Didn't had much time yet, but first impression is (very) good! Now I just need more time to explore it, since I got the expander as well, giving me 6 channels output (each with pitch, velocity & gate outputs), I might need here and there some more modules to be able to come up with 6 voices/channels :-)

First very good impression is the unexpected, even better than I thought, good and direct working of the settings of those step parameters (like gate length, pitch, note length, ratcheting, repeat, velocity, groove & chance). You just press one of those buttons and straight away you can change those parameters with the below encoders, very clear, very direct, very intuitive way of handling it. Now I need to dive a bit deeper into the details.

The only con I could discover so far is... is... that this device is sooooooooo addictive that you just can't stop playing around with it, meaning that you spend hours, forgetting the time and at 6 am or something realise that you need to get some kind of sleep before continuing playing with it ;-)

I can't wait for you to receive the WMD - Metron, I hope you will have as much fun with it as I have with the Vector :-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Ha, ha, let's see how it goes next year! :-)

Thank you Defragmenteur :-)

Hi Sacguy71,

Nice jam! Lovely to see your MDLR case in action :-)

Thank you very much for sharing this and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Mowse,

Wow, you got some quite special sounds in there, I love that! At certain spots quite daring using different sounds then usual, I like that :-)

Thanks a lot for sharing this and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Farkas and Toodee,

Thanks a lot for listening :-)

Farkas: Though I didn't configure it as such, with the Sinfonion you can do indeed lots of different scales.

Toodee: Indeed, that cry kind of sound is done with the E330 - Multimode VCO from Synthesis Technology, lovely fun module. The "total" sound ends up with these two voices (E330 that cry sound and then that repetitive LFO sound is done with the quad VCO from Doepfer, the A-111-4) into the Warps of Mutable Instruments. I actually was testing and playing around a bit with Warps when these kind of sounds happen to appear :-)

Have fun with modular and kind regards, Garfield.

Yeah, Van Der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill of course :-)

He, he, that guy plays two sax at the same time, didn't even know that was possible :-)

Hi Diego,

Well yes, if you look at it like that, then go for the Veils :-) I was thinking of the Veils to, just under the motto: "You can't have enough VCAs" however for me the user interface counts as well, the knobs on the Veils look pretty close to each other. Besides that, you don't have separate CV input for Linear and Exponential behaviour of the VCA; the beauty of the DVCA1 is that you can use both at the same time.

I agree, the Colour option is a nice to have but, at least for me, not a must have.

I am not saying that between these two particular VCAs there is a quality difference, however in general there can be quality differences between VCAs, depending on the quality of the components (and other possible reasons) why on one VCA the sound sounds better than on another VCA.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience about the WMD - Performance mixer, I might consider it perhaps, bit expensive though :-(

Regarding (dual) VCFs... yes difficult one, another idea might be the triple State 700 Mk2 from Frequency Central, but I prefer the Black Dual VCF. How about the QPAS from Make Noise, that one is quite nice, bit different from the Black Dual VCF, naturally but really not too bad, you can do some nice stuff with the QPAS.

Good luck and looks like Lugia gave you quite a few hints & tips too; so tons of things to check for you there :-) Have fun and kind regards, Garfield.

Edit: Removed typo.

Hi Kel_,

If I read and understand the news papers correctly (reading in Germany as well as in the Netherlands) then with this Brexit deal both ways (UK to EU and EU to UK) there will no import taxes apply (free good traffic, i.e. as it currently is). But then again with how many pages, 1200 or 1600 pages thick contract, who knows...

I guess time will tell :-)

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Diego,

Nice to hear from you again! :-) Lovely track by the way! I remember another track from you, is that this one or is this another track. Love the tension you are building up there.

For a new VCA, I can strongly recommend the Waldorf - DVCA1, from all my VCAs, this is the one I like most so far. I loved it so much that I bought a second unit of it, fantastic dual VCA!

I see that you are planning to get the Black Dual VCF from Erica Synths, I got that one already, it's a lovely filter, together with the Doepfer - A-124 VCF5 WASP filter my most favourite filters. The SEM Filter A-106-5 from Doepfer is quite nice too! That Black Dual VCF is still available from Erica Synths own website, so try it there; if you live in Europe you have to add 21% VAT (I think it was) to their mentioned prices though...

I am looking for a second mixer in my rack, how do you like the WMD - Performance Mixer? Is it worth an arm or a leg? Does it bleed? My Doepfer A-138p's do bleed a little bit :-( Even when putting volume of the channel to zero and mute it...

Good luck with your rack planning and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

Yes the Desmodus Versio was clearly visible (the name) in your video :-) I am still hesitating about Noise Engineering and I am waiting for a next opportunity to get a few Noise Engineering modules tested at my local dealer, however since a few weeks we are back in a lock down here in Germany, so I have to wait for a while.

I had a few set backs regarding free time but catching up now with my modular stuff. I need to explore more my Drum Sequencer from Erica Synths, I hope to be able to do that in the next few days. Then let's see what the dream sequencer combination is going to be together with this Drum Sequencer :-)

Thank you, Happy Holidays too! Kind regards, Garfield.

Hello All,

I was playing around lately with a few modules when my modular synth was crying out loud... I tried to capture that sound here:

It exists of two voices, one voice is that crying kind of sound, main module behind that is the E330 - Multimode VCO from Synthesis Technology driven by the ACL - Sinfonion by the way. The second voice that is, indirectly, strongly driven by an LFO is the polyphonic Doepfer - A-111-4 Quad VCO module using the A-105-4 Quad Poly SSI VCF module (nice filter by the way) and A-132-8 VCA module too.

The track exists of two parts. Starting with Part A, the "original or classic" version how I discovered the sound with a mild touch of reverb and directly followed by Part B a stronger use of the Ventris pedal (by Source Audio) using both DSPs (Part A only used one DSP) adding some echo, and here and there using a frozen reverb too.

Not sure if it's a drone, still, to make sure to fulfil the new requirement, by holding here and there a bit longer the frozen reverb button I managed to just go over the 17 minutes ;-)

Thank you very much for listening and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

You are back! :-) I missed your videos. That module on bottom left, what module is that? Is that one of your new modules? From your video I understood it's an attenuator but I didn't hear which brand or model name it is.

You got some heavy kick sound there :-) ! Oh great, I finally can see your new monster case Doepfer - A-100PMB :-) Great! Ha, ha, "that sucker waits a ton", yes that's right! I got the A-100PMS12 and when it's empty it's already pretty heavy, filled with modules, I am not going to travel around with that one...

Thanks a lot for sharing and Merry Christmas to you too, kind regards, Garfield.

Hi FredFoxtrott,

Wow a one-hour session! At least you managed to follow up on the minimum of 17 minutes rule for drones ;-) I found many interesting elements in your session, nice stuff! I particular liked the part around the 40-45 minutes, great jam!

I wish all foxtrots sound like this ;-)

Thank you very much for sharing this and kind regards, Garfield Modular.

Hi Troux,

That's an excellent idea. I leave it up to you which one you like to use, either this one Sunday's Craziness (with that funny "frog" in there):

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/9003

And/or this one, the Doepfer A-110-1 Pulse Width Modulation Fun:

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/9062

Let me know though which one you decided to use :-) Thanks a lot for doing this and I am curious what the result will be :-D

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Defragmenteur,

Yeah I like that subtle touch of reggae beat in there! This Mikrophonie module creates really some weird and interesting stuff :-)

Ha, ha, that sound just before 2:00 is good fun too!

Thank you very much for sharing this and kind regards, Garfield.

Yes, please count me in too, that would be indeed very useful (date created + last modified).

Hi Lugia,

Thanks a lot for that stockhausen link, will check with them, seems they are located here in Germany, so should be easy for me then :-)

Thank you and kind regards, Garfield.

Hello Lugia,

Thank you very much for the insight information, very interesting. I wrote down the Karlheinz Stockhausen - Kontakte album on my "to buy list" :-) For the Pet Sounds I can't find an available copy though.

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Ffraserr,

In your My Modular section, make sure the Rack Lock is switched off and then make sure the Panel Selector is switched on as well. Then you go to the bottom of any module (those that offer more than one different front panel) and you got there a left and right arrow icon where you can click on to browse through the different front panels.

The Wogglebug (2014 version) that's available now is by the way the default if I am not mistaken, so not 100% sure what you mean?

I hope this helped and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Lugia,

Thank you very much for the recommendation of Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (2001 reissue), I couldn't find it that quickly (the right reissue version that is), so I have put that on my CD/LP wish list, hopefully I can find it one day (here in Europe).

That's indeed very interesting to get that front-back depth without the use of stereophonic mixing, however in "our case" of a Eurorack, any idea how to do that? Or is this some kind of "secret-recipe" (like top chef-cooks also wouldn't tell us their recipes) for audio engineers not telling us how to do it? :-)

Thank you very much and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Exposure,

Wow, 20+ minutes :-) As you might know I am not too much of a Techno person, however I do feel your track is pretty good here because for a Techno track, you have tons of variations and interesting sounds used here and that's not always very common with (classic) Techno. With the 20+ minutes you fulfil a "very important new requirement" here on this forum (drones should be at least 17 minutes long), only turning it into a drone/ambient kind of thing and then it's perfect ;-)

Thanks a lot for sharing this and kind regards, Garfield.
