Can we talk about modular synths?

[Ruiner]

stahhhhhhp. i don't want Mimeo-Desires. i'm pretty sure i just don't like Make Noise loot. never had a module from them i've kept.

The thing is..... that’s me! But this...... KEPT.

[greyscales]

I've only had a couple of Make Noise pieces and they've never been that appealing to me. However, the Mimeophon seems like the least esoteric module they've made to me. There's a couple of deeper functions but for the most part the controls seem straightforward.

And the idea of skewed, halo'd, filtered, warbly, ping-pong delay is pretty enticing.

STAHP. I HAVE NO ROOM FOR ONE.

edit - damnit why did i look. this is.... convincing -

i love the Chronoblob, but it can be pretty... dry? too pristine? i thought the Mimeo wasn't clock syncable and... it isssss. that makes me moist.

grabbed one from DetMod for three fiddy. should be here Saturday?

YOU GUYS SUCK.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Haha. I'm currently planning on getting a chronoblob but the mimeophon is in the corner of my eye going "hey look over here"

[behndy]

lol. Chronoblob is beauuuuuutifullll. i think i'm just a little bored of it? the synthy/karplus part of Mimeo is INTERESTING.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Exactly! But chrono does do everything I want it to do. And should be perfect. But... Tempting things?

Here’s a couple examples of Mimeophon using most of the cv inputs at the same time

Yo wtf I take a break from the forum and come back to people saying they don’t like MN? Best company in euro imo. If you wonder why I say that, spend 30 minutes browsing their YouTube channel. They’ve done more for more for euro than any other company and they must be applauded for that. If you had a Maths or DPO and didn’t like it that’s a you problem!

Or you know, maybe opinions are like assholes and everyone’s got a smelly one

[behndy]

sniff. my. OPINION.

oh. yeah. no. my dislike for them is no way at all rooted in the company at all. they seem nice as butts, and like you say, have done a TON for Euro Growth.

i just don't click with their loot. a smelly anus ME problem. not a Butters And Waffles Syrup Scented THEM problem.

[ThurberMingus]

I know I just wanted to stir the pot a bit! Also my euro setup is a (self-assembled) Shared System Plus. I got sick of researching and arranging and modular gridding, so that made the most sense to me to cut out the muss and fuss and just have a solid-assed patchable synth!

[behndy]

you stir my pot bebe.

lol. nah. fuck that. Mix And Match FOREVER.

this is where i'm at the end of this week -



lol. then have to figure out what to do with Tip Tops when they get in.

Very nice. Looks like a great module.

Well there's the obvious stuff like it being stereo and having so much CV input modulation. Reverse and Freeze... I'm a sucker for reverse delay and not a lot of modules offer that.

Zone - I love this feature which can get very creative very quickly with cv control. From short repeats to phrases that come back a minute later. With well thought out CV control it can be very interesting.

Skew - having the ability to offset the left and right outputs is something I don't have on my other delay modules which I like a lot.

Gate Output - having a gate output derived from the rate control is useful.

Rate - cv control over the rate combined with the zone gets into interesting territory (I dig the micro rate and Doppler effects it can do)

Halo - the smear / reverb is beautiful on this thing and again... cv controllable.

Color - this has a much greater creative affect than I thought and again.... cv controllable


Using all of these cv inputs with the Catalyst crossfader has been AMAZING...... especially on drums!

Oh man I kinda wish I hadn't asked . Zone sounds amazing. Thanks for the writeup.

While the subject of Make Noise is up, I'm interested to hear experiences with Morphagene or any alternatives to it. I like its ability to save to a card, but I don't think that's totally necessary for me. I'm looking for a good live audio sampling/processing option.

[ThurberMingus]

Morphagene is fantastic but I’ve only had it for about a month. It takes whatever you feed into it and spits out magic!
