Hi, everyone!
I've been thinking about this for a while, and my idea is now to focus on Rings and noise generation/mixing for now. I may be a bit crazy not planning on getting Elements, but I would like to experiment with Rings using noise, a contact mic, and external audio sources, for now.
I pretty much consistently chose Mutable Instruments modules rather than narrower or slightly cheaper modules because I like Mutable Instruments (such as the open source approach and the aesthetics) and because I wanted a built-in contact mic. I might be getting an A-119 later. I will also wait on the Clouds successor for now.
Given these decisions, I would love to hear your thoughts generally, and about whether or not these modules seem to make sense together. :)
I put Ears to the right since I'm right handed, and I'm kind of loosely thinking that the patching will mainly go from right to left.
I got lots of cables and inline mults.
Thanks again for all the information and great advice! I have learned a lot through this thread. :)
Take care!
