Thanks Garfield :)

Yeah, I put the Contact Mic on Pipes and Brewing vessels in the brewery and recorded the sounds while Pumps were running while brewing and cleaning.

Here's another bit but the Delay is used on the Resonester mode in Clouds, which makes some lovely piano-like keys with careful settings.

And another... this time with some Contact Mic recordings from in the Brewery which are messed with in Clouds.

I mixed the Saw, Square and Even outputs in Veils before going to the Happy Nerding HNVCF and its 18dB, modulation coming from the Envelope and a clocked LFO from the Noise Engineering Clep Diaz and I've now re-patched this to go through Monsoon Clouds instead of Mimeophon.

Thanks

I think that means that if you want your files to load in a certain order, start with:

A File name
B File name
C File name.... and so on

Befaco EvenVCA as the main sound source, ignore the messy bit with the fast Chainsaw bit.
Throwing lots of modulation at a couple of filters, one heads out to Erica Pico DSP and the other to Mimeophon.
The 2hp Turing Machine is driving the pitches, always good for Acid lines.

Lovely stuff :)

Hi Garfield,
It would certainly be good to more things like this in the future, hopefully in the next 12 months we will be getting a bar up and running in our Town. I'd encourage a bit of modular or modular meets there.

:)

I thought I better record this before I pull all the plugs out of it, we were a part of the National Science & Media Museum in Bradford UK, we were serving our beers and the Modular Synth was part of it alongside our bar.

Here's the various links that will help make sense of this:

There was much crowd noise and I'm sure my patching sounded much worse on the actual night via a one-speaker PA and i forgot to take my headphones so I had no way to monitor what i was playing.

A fun experience.

Muff can also be a last name here in the UK.

Yeah, I agree with Garfield, a lovely relaxed piece :)

Excellent stuff :)

What was hacked? I don't feel as if I've been interfered with..... Maybe it was just a wardrobe malFunkshon and my arse was out?

Thanks :)
Its the PatchingPanda Punch is kinda plucking the sound resonating from a Omsonic FLF (Funky Ladder Filter) with triggers from the Befaco Burst and looping in MakeNoise Mimeophon, playing with the mode and Skew is ON and Flip is ON some of the time, and there is some subtle variation of the filter cut-off using one of the Pitch outs from Marbles.
Befaco Burst is prefect for the triggers because you can set probability that the triggers are likely to fire so that makes it sound more natural, I found interesting results varying the mode on Mimeophon with anything from quite a tight delay to more expansive repeats and looping all seem to work well or make for variety, I also have a bit of subtle CV hitting the Rate control.
The envelope from Punch is also sweeping the filter cut-off.

I'm currently using my AI Modular Matrix Mixer as a pre-mixer of 4 inputs then sent to 2 outputs, so i can send bits of audio to either Monsoon Clouds or Mimeophon, I think this is kind of the arse-backwards way of Effects Sends on a Mixer.
They are also great for mashing up modulation sources.

Good stuff, thanks for turning that dial :) I'm definitely not a sound engineer, Mechanical Engineer actually.

Weird, it sounds OK here, though I agree it does start quiet, I was afraid of making the recording clip so i set things so I knew they would only pip the red-line with all parts playing.
It was a one-take live stream so not recorded on anything but direct to Youtube.

Much craziness, Liking it :)

Digital Birds in an Analogue world.... freshly streamed.

Quite a messy patch, full notes would be a bit messy too!
Patchingpanda Punch bird song made with a resonating Omsonic FLF with Punch is plucking at it and triggers from the Befacosynth Burst and looping in Makenoisemusic Mimeophon :)

I get the distinct impression that I use Marbles and the 2hp TM for distinctly different things, I find the TM+Tune better for simple bass lines with a beat whereas Marbles doesn't seem quite as usable like that.... Marbles is probably great and I just need to twiddle the knobs to different settings.

Talking of Doubling up the SINE inputs to Timbre Seriously Top Tips there, I've been using the output of 2x resonant filters as my sound sources and I'm getting some Mad interesting sound sculptures out of Timbre into Clouds :) Then riding the filter cut-offs for the sine tone gets crazy AF!
Much happy noodling with dark ambient madness!

I don't have a Ceis but I'm interested to know how it Steps through?

I had assumed from looking at it when thinking about buying one that the only Steps are the Gates generated that come from the A.D.S.R points and that the actual envelope that is made simply flows like you would expect from any ADSR module.

You will get a different effect depending on whether you are sending it a Trigger or a Gate, the length of gate corresponding to the SUSTAIN section as the level that the sound holds while the key is pressed, even my A-R envelopes (PipSlope) respect the Gate length versus sending it a simple Clock or Trigger.

Did you have any 1HP gap on your Rackbrute 6U? I found that after I put in 88HP of modules, there is a 1HP gap...if you had that as well and still had overheating issues, I'm going to be concerned.

-- jb61264

I never even got it full, only managed about 1 and a quarter filled.

Talking of heat, I think the Rackbrute case I bought had a problem, it got really hot and smelled like burning plastic and made the room stink. This ended up going back to the supplier who fit a new Power supply and sent it back. I'd lost faith in it by this point so left it boxed up and sold it on.
I'd never had a problem with my TipTop uZeus (x2) or my subsequent KonstantLab Power, I even found some of my modules ran cooler when NOT in the Rackbrute.

Hopefully this was a one-off and you'll have a good experience with Arturia.

yep, really nice.

Could well do, I seem to recall taking your advice on the Matrix Mixer and MI Kinks.
:)

Here we go, I just needed a bit of a nudge to use the DannySound Timbre ;-)

Cheers guys :)

Ahh, OK.... The closest I get to Buchla is the DannySound Timbre being fed a Sine or Triangle wave. I've just been playing with it to make a slightly acid line letting the envelope tweak the Timbre. I keep meaning to use a very slow LFO to try make a very long evolving note, and I've made a beefy Kick sound from it feeding it from the ADDAC103.
I must experiment more.

hey hey... now there's a bit of collaboration :) Cool.

Thanks all :)

@Farkas - So you favoured triggers and gate flow, I think my original favoured Pitch flow, things do get tight with the 2hp modules even with some of the others, if there are a stack of jacks filling one module then the Pots on the module next to it can be almost impossible to tweak. I can see some interesting sounds coming from mixing the outputs of the Befaco EvenVCO via the Doepfer mixer then onto the SVCA & Moon-Phase. At the moment I'm using the Doepfer mixers to stereo-sum my percussion and the Happy Nerding & Befaco mixers are basically my Output to external mixer.

@Ronin1973 & @Farkas - Filters in the top row, I think this will be done pretty soon, I'm already fighting through wires to adjust them where they are.

@lugia - I'm glad someone said VCOs, this does feel like a glaring hole, I was thinking of sticking fairly traditional and the Honeyeater from ST Modular looks interesting with its wave mixer section which vaguely reminds me of my old Roland MC202.
Yep the Percussion row can be pushed off to another case.
In what way to you mean Complex Oscillator? There are lots to choose from under that headline, something like a Plaits would encourage me to get rid of the 2hp Pluck & Bell and make for more finger room around jacks and pots.

I'd quite like to keep the EvenVCO, as it was a DIY build and for the moment I still feel attached to it.

My main focus in Eurorack is to have fun and learn, if what comes out sounds good thats a bonus.

Cheers

2hp Tetris :)

What a lovely piece. Gorgeous.

Sounding good :)

These are all the modules I have, 3 of which are freshly ordered DIY kits; Drive, Prok BD & Moon-Phase.

Could I organise my modules better?
Is there anything to excess, maybe something you'd ditch?
Missing something (other than Talent) Another VCA (a different Stereo VCA might be on the cards as the ST Modular seems to be over-driven from the word Go and distorts a simple sine wave)?

Plans are to split off the percussion row into a separate case, probably with one of the uZeus for power. Then I'll finish the KonstantLab Power upgrade for the main case and sell the spare uZeus.

Gone are the days when I thought 2 rows for 84hp would be all I'd ever want! Things are getting interesting now with a 'potential' 5 rows of 84hp

Cheers :)

Funky, would love to hear another acid line over the top of that :)

Cheers :)

Loving that, great sweeping / ping-ponging stereo :)

Nice work, and I'm loving your Blank panels :)

Yep, More Vocoder please :)

Thanks... I'm nowhere near where I want to be yet. I'm sort of talking about getting a micro Ornament & Crime so I can set Chords to play through the Chainsaw properly, either that or Maybe a Robaux 3PT as I just found that will let you output 3 finger chords from one input.

Thanks @GarfieldModular Yeah I think I got a bit crazy on the Rebach filter started clipping the recording or something, it didn't sound quite that bad while I was playing it.
I get 3 parts out of the Acidrain Chainsaw via the ST Modular SVCA, the main Stereo outs fom the SVCA go to Mimeophon and then onto Monsoon Clouds, then I take the extra outs from the SVCA and split them to the Patching Panda Punch before hitting either the Omsonic FLF or the Rebach VCF-AB, Triggers for these going to the Punch come from the Robaux LL8.
Marbles controls the whole show, Mimeophon is clocked from Pams, Mimeophon clock the Pitches side of Marbles.

I feel what I need to do is disconnect all my percussion or make a point of not using it, it was sort of my fear when starting to buy percussion modules that everything I do would have beats in it, my percussion row will eventually become separate so i can completely avoid it.

Thanks for watching :)

I remember the original, good stuff, this reminds me of a MakeNoise demo.

Lovely stuff indeed :)

haha, it is hard to stop listening to! :)

This is proper good, more please :)

Sort of the same as last weeks stream patch but the 2hp Pluck is going into the Mimeophon and Monsoon Clouds.

Cheers for listening, and looking at my Elbow quite a lot, Tats on upper arm are due a redesign to work better with the lower arm.

I was just going to suggest the 2HP RND, cos it just sits there taking up so little space but you can get Random gates out of it so can be used as an On/Off switch on things like the Freeze button on Clouds etc. Plus Smooth and Quantasized (stepped) random outputs you can use to Modulate your Modulators etc.

But @eexee's suggestion of the 4MS sounds like loads of fun.

BTW, if you happen to own a Disting it has a Chaos mode.

I must have fluked those Dynamics ;-) Cheers

Its something I want to try more of, and remove the beats altogether.

Cheers for listening :)
