#modularsynth

The worst* thing about having a #ModularSynth is that part where you take out all of the patch cables and then accidentally stay up late spending the next ten hours** experimenting with weird delay-filter-reverb feedback loop patches for just one more tweak.

*: best
**: +/-80%

The #ObliquePalette v0.5.3 is off to manufacture!

It'll fit in a #Eurorack #modularsynth case if you like. And it reads and writes voltage control (only 0:5V currently, but ±5V in the final, we're hoping). You’ll be able to plug your #synthdiy weird things into its eight inputs, which you will then interpret with a #plugdata patch.

And your patch will obey your creative wishes, making sound with your computer audio and sending out 8 channels of CV and servos*!

*We'll see how many we can run!

My first 100% modular track in a while.

Here is a moment from the larger work in progress, another track drafted in stylistic exploration. As honest as I can be, pulling on these threads of me.

All of what I do has acoustic instruments somewhere, but there is a nice electro-acoustic element to this one, kinda gives it a storybook feel or like the overture for a space opera.

I got the Voice Nodulator fixed and working better than ever! All 8 params(grain frequency & size, attack, decay, feedback, lopass to pitchcompressor, high cut) to be safely voltage controllable and I can’t even blow it up with juice from the ARP!

Turned out part of the problem was a couple of potentiometers that had been resoldered too many times and crushed in too many bags.

Looking forward to getting together with the #synthdiy and #modularsynth nerds in a couple weeks here in #westernma!

@inpc mentioned today #AugustusLoop, created by #ExpertSleepers. I remembered I have the effect / looper / thingamajig on my #DistingEX. Though I couldn't help with inpc's query, I was inspired to toy with it.

Nothing too exciting, but a pleasant way to spend an hour or so patching and repatching.

The AM1021 is a sequential switch, able to take the 3 outputs of the 1027 sequencer and combine them sequentially. Thus you can have up to 24 steps frrom the 3 x 8 sequences from the #arp2500 1027 #eurorack #module

It does this in very little hp space. The mix sequencer 1050 can also do that, but you can't use it for other functions, such as another sequencer or two or mixer. It gives the control row more flexibility. #modularsynth #sequencer #dawless #music

AMSynths AM1021 Sequential Clock - Eurorack Module
ModularGridAMSynths AM1021 Sequential ClockAMSynths AM1021 Sequential Clock - Eurorack Module - This 4HP module expands the capability of the Behringer 1027 Sequencer by adding a Sequential Switch that enables sequences of 8, 16 or 24 steps to be generated.

I thought after completing three songs and getting deeper into a fourth that I should share some of the sonic artifacts I've recorded along the way.

Ambient, dark electro, experimental minimalism, improvised corners of where I'm sourcing my sound library for constructing studio tracks.

I recorded another track on the portable lunchbox #eurorack #modular #synth yesterday. It is called "Apple Pi a la Mode", to keep with the lunchbox / food stuff theme. Plus given yesterday's date...

Wanted to use the #roland #cr78 for some percussions, but that's not super portable (and runs on 110V, not battery power), so I ended up capturing a few loops on a TC Electronic Ditto+ looper pedal. Created a playlist for these tracks. #music #analog #modularsynth #loops.
