Can we talk about modular synths?

awwwwww. trade for a 3 Sisters fell through. oh well.

Obligatory First Model Random Patch with Plaits -

only had about a half hour to play today, everything i went to sounded NEAT. just running that sequence at different speeds.

funnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Does anyone here have both Mikrophonie and Ears ?

If so, do you know if there is a difference in sound between them when using the module as an overdrive/distortion ? I know both circuits are open hardware but I can only read code, not circuits .

I'm, considering an upgrade to an Ears at some point because the envelope follower/gate extraction is useful but I really like how Mikrophonie distorts >

[behndy]

mannnn the Tallin sounds good. have one a'comin.

whiiiiiiicchhhhhhh leaves me with 10 hp empty.

[baremountain]

No Plaits til May for me But muh Plaits comes 20% off, which is nice. To be honest I'd rather have the module than cash back, but it seems scarcity has made my decision for me. Good thing I didn't sell my Plonk/Rings yet

FWIW Plaits plus Rings is pretty dang fun.

[mr. sound boy king]

hurm. just got my Plaits in. only one of them. durnit.

while i hope the other ships, diving into one is awesssssssome.

now. HURRY AND RELEASE THE NEBS 2 PLEASE I WANT THAT YES I WOULD LIKE THAT.

.......... anybody here interested in a SampleSlicer or a uBraids? going to list both later today at Muffs, probably the Tetrapad as well.

Interested in SAMPLE SLICER. Please advise of details.

[behndy]

lol. yeah. it's.... GOOD.

ended up moving enough to cover everything i wanted to grab, so want to wait till i have some time with the Nebulae 2, make sure it covers how i use SSlicity, then before i'll list i'll hit you up gurrrrrrL?

[Warpsmasher]

So...Behringer Neutron?

It's actually a pretty cool synth, for what will be mainstream affordable modular. I think at $299 it could join the likes of microkorg, minibrute etc as a renowned starter synth. I do like it better than the M32 at least.

The knobs and buttons make it look similar to the Roland FX modules. Made for mix & match with them and mother 32 most likely...or they're cooking up something similar...

interested in this too

Ears distorts almost everything I put into it. I've actually been thinking of replacing it with a Sewastapol II for that reason. BUT I can see why that'd be desirable.


uBurst is in and now my case is almost filled.. https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/343551
next on the list are VCAs and Attenuverters (they gotta be black tho). then I will probably build a case for my SV-1 and fill the top row with some crazier shit I want a 4ms SMR, Mangrove and Three Sisters soooo baaad but that's probably another income tax season away he he

I'm here to preach about the 2hp VCA.

Did you buy some modular Inconuucl?

[Muse FTW]

I only had a little while to play with Plaits so far, and I haven't even gotten into the manual yet, but damn does it sound good. So versatile too.

Idk what sequencer to pair it with. I got over using my Metropolis for everything but I'm missing that immediacy and ease of workflow.

What are y'all sequencing it with?

[behndy]

huge fan of the FLXS. what i do most all my melodic sequencing with?

or the DT through Shuttle Control. although my SC has been weird. need to hit up Endorphies.

also, was going to get a second Pam's, but i want to try the Drezno. so. she's inbound.

I'm going to sell my Pretty Years #1 for an intelijel case + other stuff.


...I just haven't gotten around to it because my guitar lawnmower noises would suffer as a result. But it's going to happen because I really only use the PY as a clean preamp, and so I will replace it with a Keeley Tonestation. Which sounds like sacrilege now that I've typed it out.

EDIT: This is where I am thinking of going as of now. There's also going to be a Beatstep Pro up in there. Or I will get something to interface my Ipad to the modular.
