Nothing happens twice in the Modular world. Well now we have phone and can take pictures...LOLjustin3am wrote:Just be prepared to record anything that sounds cool, to audio, as soon as it happens. It may not happen twice.
Gone are the days of looking for the perfect Analog Soft Synth

Yeah, showing off about it is like 60% the reason why anybody would spend that kind of money on it.
So pictures are important.

When i started planning was more about showing off but then it changes...of course you haveNumanoid wrote:Yeah, showing off about it is like 60% the reason why anybody would spend that kind of money on it.

that ego feeling still but is not same as the beginning, its different after...
I will keep posting pictures as modules come and keep installing, nothing installed yet but that
does not mean i don't know how a modular feels like...i spent a lot of time on them for very long.

I think I post 1 song for every 10 pictures, so more like 90%Numanoid wrote:Yeah, showing off about it is like 60% the reason why anybody would spend that kind of money on it.

Seems OP is more interested in posting at KVR than playing with new toy?

One does not need a modular. It's definitely a luxury. I mainly use mine for fart noises.electro wrote:What kinds of sounds does one need a modular synth for?
If you go to my soundcloud page (link below), the most recent tracks I've done were mostly using my eurorack synths. No saying you need a modular to make those kinds of sounds but it's largely about the process for me. I just like patching.

Yeah, there are a lot of things people take for granted when comparing a modular synth to a "basic" monosynth (quotes used to indicate irony, in case that's not obvious).pdxindy wrote:nice fantasyBasariStudios wrote:It actually is...a Modular includes all of those and many moreelectro wrote:thought this thread was going to be all about Monark, DIVA and TAL.
For example, using a mod wheel to control the depth of an LFO's modulation. In a monosynth this handled behind the panel, but in a modular, you need to use the mod wheel to control a VCA which then allows modulation signal to pass through to other modules. If you want a different amount of depth for each modulation destination (or a different modulation source), you may need additional VCAs (or at least attenuators). Some modules have CV inputs with no attenuation, so you need an external module to control the modulation amount or you will just get full scale modulation all the time. Other modules have controls which act as an offset when there is no CV connected but then act as an attenuator when a cable is connected. As a result, you don't have an inline offset, so all modulation starts from the lowest setting of that parameter.
Then there are analog sequencers! Many don't realize that analog sequencers usually need a quantizer and a sample and hold (some quantizers have a trigger input, so only one module is needed) in order to work the way you might expect. Otherwise you'll find that the CV value changes even if you don't have a gate active for a given step.
I think if you give up on the notion of a standard monosynth architecture, it's a lot easier to have fun with a modular.
