Softube Modular

[martinjuenke]

Here's some stuff made with Softube Modular
(shameless selfpromotion)

A collection of ambient and generative tracks produced solely with the fabulous Softube Modular.

Aural waves, steady and unpredictable, playing the jeux d'eaux, with all their facets of the endless game.

Enjoy!

what do you own? i have most, especially the modular specific ones, and parallels and model 72, not the other 3 instruments. also reverbs.. o well.

I have Model 84 and 72. I'm thinking of getting the Rubicon, Microfold, LPG, and PEG to mess around with traditional West Coast sounds. The superb quality of Softube's analog modeling is what drew me to this platform. I'm less interested in the digital modules, especially those overpriced esoteric Buchla modules.

I dont know how anyone here can pretend that Softube Modular's UI isnt an absolute atrocity to work with.

VCV will blow it away come Nov 6th.

Well, maybe some people here just using it and not focus on the (obviously) downsides of the plugin.

Oh dear....

Rubicon sounds very clinical to me, I'm not a big fan of it. If you wanna go West-Coast synthesis, the 259e may be the better choice for you. You can try to warm up the sound with some Model 72 modules. LPG and PEG are both good, in my opinion.

Well, I like Softube Modular. High quality sound, well documented modules, good stability. The rather limited range of modules compared with others is for me clearly an advantage because it helps you to concentrate and focus your building. Too many choices are (at least for me) a creativity killer.

Of course there's not THE ONE modular because we all are different people with different tastes, needs and abilities.

Patch and let patch, tweak and let tweak!

I would love to start building with this but tbh looking at the modules, I've no clue what half of them are.

Still looks interesting

It's manual is pretty instructive.
And there are some helpful vids on the net.

Also worries me that it's a case of "gotta get them all" too

That should not be a worry but a promising expectation...
Sometimes you can shoot the bundle in the second hand market not too expensive (I did it that way).

Todd Barton has very good video resources for Buchla stuff in particular --- both physical and Softube.
