This is very interesting and looks absolutely brilliant! Thank you! :)
However, the system is turning out quote a bit more complex (and expensive) than I thought it would be.
So if I may throw in some additional constraints...
I think it would be useful for me to be more limited (although not too limited) to begin with, and explore fewer modules. I'm also thinking that it could be a good idea to add a Mordax DATA (or similar), so that I can see a visual representation while experimenting with the modules.
Basically, I'm curious about what could be an minimal but viable variant (interesting to work with, and at least somewhat flexible in terms of what kind of sounds (pads, basses, etc.) can be produced). Let's say we had to cut it down to only one sound source, for instance, perhaps getting rid of µRinks, SMR, Clouds and/or Stereomix.
It may be a silly idea, but could the system work with only µRinks as a sound source?
Or what could the system look like if we only built it around Jupiter Spirits?
Some other thoughts:
Is that a fan in the Erica Synths case? (I would prefer if the case I'm using is silent. Perhaps they all are?)
If the system is smaller, could a skiff case could be a good place to start?
Are there any other cases that you can recommend?
Also, I wonder if ES-8 is preferable to ES-3. That is, if it wouldn't be better for me to connect directly to Fireface UCX (which connects to the computer using USB) via an ADAT connection. I don't know if there could be a conflict with having to USB audio interfaces.
Finally, Is it possible to add envelopes to Zadar (perhaps by patching the firmware), or are we limited to the evelopes that are preprogrammed in there? I'm guessing that the many envelopes and virtually endless modulation possibilities would compensate for that, but I still think it would be pretty neat to be able to do.
Thanks again!
