I was quite concerned about the lack of fun modulation specific devices in modular, so this is a really nice surprise, wow, more of this stuff please, insta-buy.

Modular-Methadon is less expensive and no memory loss (save patches). Seems to be ideal.

4ms PEG? Modular gets to the point where I might find it tempting :-)

Not that my opinion means anything, but I am having a blast with this thing. It is so addicting that I'm getting very little else done, which is not good.

I have the strange circumstance to be head of a company that buys whatever module I want, with employees who put anything I come up with on ModularGrid into a case. My biggest point of critique in Modular was the absence of a West Coast function generator. I'd still miss a proper sequencer with ratcheting and CV control and something like Elements or Rings to be happy.

Put together a nice little demo of the Buchla 259e and the 4MS PEG.

This one I just had to make into a video with 20 real time performance controls.

Enjoy!

What I like about both Modular and VCV is that they give me a low-cost way of exploring some modules I wouldn’t have otherwise bought for my hardware modular.

I’ve been griping about the lack of a full-featured sequencer since day one. I mean, it would only take them a day or two to implement the lacking functionality into one of the existing sequencer modules...
Incomplete list of my gear: 1/8" audio input jack.

Another video. Different patch. 28 real time controls.

I could get lost in this thing for weeks. Hands down favorite synth.

Though, Steve, such sounds will never make it into one of your tracks. That's kind of a mystery.

Maybe it's Jerry who's programming these noises? :wink:

It would be a whole lot cheaper and easier to just play with the tuning dial on an old transistor radio. :wink:

Yeah, I can make that kind of crap in a host of other synths
Amazon: why not use an alternative

And I'm very happy for you that you can.

tell me, how much ketamine had you ingested before recording that ? I assume you inject it right into your eyeballs for maximum effect, yes ?

As soon as we talk straight, we may be accused of forcing suicide.

Honestly, I don't know how to handle it. Oscillating between compassion and bullying (due to sheer facepalming). Ghettosynth recommended to just ignore it, that's a good advise, no question, but it won't help Steve.

Mixed emotions... :(

Hey don't hold back on my account. I've finally learned to just let this all roll off my back.

So by all means, enjoy yourself.

After all, it IS the holiday season.
