Benjolin pulse wave clocking Beast-Tek Amoeba which triggers Just Friends --> Erbe-Verb. And of course Benjolin doing the do it does.

Tonight I'll have the Benjolin clocking the Amoeba again but have it firing off lots of different percussion. It will be free jazz and :hug:.

I need more bass.

Think abusive, plate breaking, feel it before you hear it, brown note sub bass.

The Blue Lantern subharmonic generator doesn't get me anywhere close to where I want to go. Running through something like a Boss OC-2 helps, makes things generally sound fuller, but not the real width and pressure levels I'm looking for. Closest thing I've found is the Bastl Dark Matter, but I spend a lot of time with it, tweaking, getting almost there, and ultimately being disappointed. Those sliders take up alot of HP, the drive circuit isn't particularly interesting, and I'm left feeling meh. I go back and forth on selling it, would love to free up the $pace.

So what's the right tool or technique?

LPF's don't seem to get me there - at least not experimenting in VCVrack. Any there any bass-specific boosts for euro? Maybe a low-hp, CV-able three band EQ?

annnnnd have a Monsoon and an 8hp uClouds with the Kammerl Beat Repeat firmware loaded and the Kammer specific panel.

i loved the Kammerl Clouds, but mannnnn i hate needing a cheat sheet for a module. escited about having actual labels.

moof. and i WANT to like Clouds? this the last time i try one. having the Click Through Menu Things on sliders sounds like it would solve most of what i hated about using one before?

I have a Shakmat Hipass and Worng LRMSMSLR on the way. Not the most exciting modules ever but they should be good for more performance-readiness. Never done any mid-side processing so that will be fun to experiment with.

Watch out with high resonance if you patch a filter inbetween the M or S of the Worng LRMSMSLR :)

It is nearly September which means it is nearly time for Qu-Bit to release their Bloom sequencer. I am going to hit this sequencer hard, without hesitation. Stoked to mutate the branching paths.

i think.... i just don't like QuBit? the Chord 2 is actually designed really well, but i just can't get stuff i like out of it. i always end up doing horrible 90's chord stabs with it.

but every other QuBit i've had i ended up hating using it eventually.

hope you dig the Bloomper though!

I have never used a Qu-Bit boi before so cannot speak with knowledge. However, if I found a good deal on their CHANCE thing, I'd probably bite. Looks interesting.
