Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Update on my fried module, replacement part came in and it’s booting up now! I haven’t taken the time to actually listen to my system or troubleshoot the other modules yet but at a glance everything appears to be hunky-dory! Quite a relief and it’s STILL patched with the stuff I was doing at the gig and it looks like I can still get a chance to record it. Man this has been almost 3 months with the same patch on there. I’m even more excited to unpatch it than I am to record it at this point!

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
What are the Trigger Riot knob specs and where did you find them? I have been feeling like replacing the standard knobbos with more colorful nubbins.behndy wrote:

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
from thr KNOBS! thread on Muffs -
" Source:
https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/intellijel-style-knobs/
Parts:
"Intellijel" Knobs → Small D Knob (x17)
"Intellijel" Knobs → Small Encoder Black Caps x3 (x6) "
they come with a hole at the top you pop the encoder cap into, Thonk has 3 colors you can choose from for caps with no lines (encoders vs regular caps), black, white and grey.
lol. jusssst make sure you get the small knobs, D shaft, and the right size caps. i accidentally ordered LARGE knobs with small caps. durp.
this is what my og TR looked like after i got them last time -

gonna do an X this time! because YEAH.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Picked up a Keystep to probably not use with my euro. But to use with my Blofeld that I never use because I didn't have a nice little keyboard for it. So now I'll have some pretty poly chord sequences.
Now I can fully dedicate my euro patching to nothing but noise and drones without thinking about lush pads while I'm patching.
Now that I'm back from vacation and not sick I need to get my ass into gear and have some fun.

One of the great synths ATMO.dozicusmaximus wrote: Blofeld
The randomization option rules and slays face.
I use an old DR-202 drum box as a controller.
Look forward to hearing how the Keystep works.
Blofeld.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I'll keep you posted. Seems like we have similar tastes.
I bought it a year ago and only played with it for a few hours. I'll have to look into the random. I only did some light editing of a few presets to see if I could get a long with it. Seemed to be a pretty intuitive interface.
This year I will be focusing on the Digitakt and Blofeld a lot. While trying to teach myself guitar and learning how to patch my euro better. Also need to fit in some light recording (gotta learn that too).

I've really enjoyed using the Blofeld alongside my Euro. That's probably because I built out a rack to function as a Dreamer's Drum Machine instead of a Damnable Drone Box or other philosophy. Drum machine boom clack + Blofeld digital wreckage = yes, hello.
I know I am going to end up with a Digitakt. It feels inevitable. Want to spend more time learning Sonic Potions LXR 1st, though. It is a madman's Machinedrum and contains many secrets.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Do any of your folks have a sampler in your rack?
If so, what sounds are you putting in there?
I recently got a TipTop ONE and haven't had much luck finding the right source material to feed it.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Thanks!
That LXR looks pretty cool.
I picked up a TipTop TG One recently. Still haven't hooked it up yet. Gah... more shit I gotta learn. Hopefully it and the IFM stuff will give me drums when I don't feel like Digitakt-ing.
