Can we talk about modular synths?

[mr. sound boy king]

I've snagged a varigate 8+ yesterday. Still getting into the workflow but this thing is nuts. So many possibilities. I think the only thing that's an inherent problem with the design is that since you're using the sliders to change multiple parameters, it can be tough to visualize your state after switching away from a mode, changing other settings, then switching back, since the sliders no longer reflect your state. We'll see if this annoys me over the long term but I'm loving this thing right now.

Nice. I got me a Varigate 4 a while back to complement Trigger Riot.

Keeping slider values in memory is less important than I thought.

It is such an immediate module that I've rarely felt confused about my settings.

The Varigate forgives and also fucking shreds hard core. It shreds murdered out hyper glitch rhythms and etc.

Are you pairing yours with the VOLTAGE BLOCK?

i always feel like i'm missing something with Malekko. people love his shizz, it seeeeeems awesome, i hear humans doing amazeballs things with them...... i've had a Voltage Blocks twice, the Varigate 8+ and 4+..... and.... just.... don't like ANY of them.

[coldbrightsunlight]

verrrry cool.

i feel you. i was so seduced by the yummy awesomeness of the Deluge i thought about ditching the FLXS. that would have been STUPID.

also, i hate the W/. it's awesome, crazy stuff for being so tiny, but the interface is about exactly the opposite how i enjoy them to be laid out.

gonna list later today, if anyone wants a BroGrrLieBro discount hit me up.

I kind of want it because tiny sampling. But the interface, like, nope. Not going to get on with that.

Popping in to say I posted a 2x Pico Drums with programmer bundle in the BST.

I also got to play with my buddy who is a phenomenal drummer with my eurorack set up. Highly recommend. He has a sick Roland digital kit hooked up to ableton and it was a blast.

I'm not, but we'll see if I fall THAT in love with it where I'm just like I NEED BOTH. Also I'm out of space so I'd need to rethink things, as my last 14hp is reserved for THAT GODDAMNED MANNEQUINS THING GRRRRR RESTOCK WHEN?

[coldbrightsunlight]

Patience, grasshopper.

[behndy]

NO PATIENCE. WANT NOW.

There's like three of you in here who seem to have some self-control regarding gear purchases (I can name all three), it's a slightly worrying but quite entertaining thread .

[behndy]

meh. self control is for important things, not gear purchases.

Will you please let me yell at the clouds ?
No, not these clouds .

I am finishing my 3U with a wasp I think. But I will have to file it down 1HP to fit

Hey everyone, I’ve been using my Verbos harmonic oscillator to make pads by CVing everything and going into clouds and haven’t ever tried any sounds with transients. I’m looking for recommendations on fun ways to get new sounds. Do most ppl have a LPG they’d send their oscillator through for plucked sounds? What else is fun besides a vca with an envelope? My modular systems has mostly been used to processes sounds and not make them and I’m ready to start composing on here. Also, what’s the deal with the W/? I hear half the ppl love them and half hate them. Is it really buggy or just a workflow thing? Seems up my alley but I have no way to try one nor do I know anyone else with modular off the Internet. Thank yaaa!

but think of the resale value. I bet you don't even keep the original boxes for when you sell pedals you animal.
