Can we talk about modular synths?

[MrNovember]

So shitty business practices and immoral behaviour. Still might not be really worth digging up the drama unless he has done something to personally wrong you or your friend. But I also tend to avoid conflict so

[behndy]

lol. nah. it's pretty much general busy-body'ness. it annoys me, but it's probably not worth the drama.

I'm not sure they know how to run a business. I don't care if it's COVID times or not. At this point they should have built up enough capital to not have to do this pre order stuff.

Is that a very dramatic statement?

What other filters should I maybe consider for a fuckin' rad as hell filter? Right now, I'm using a Doepfer A-103 (TB-303 type) and a Mobenthey Sprott. Looking to expand the stable.

I think this could be a cool filter: MSK 007 Leapfrog VCF. No morphing but should be pretty cool.
And take a look at the filters from nonlinearcircuits, there are some special designs I think: https://www.nonlinearcircuits.com/modules?tag=Filter

Got a Befaco Crush Delay V3.

Haven't really unlocked the full value of the crush switches but it's pretty sweet as a straight up delay.

Befaco quality is really good.

Thanks for the ideas! I like a lot of NLC stuff but haven't messed with any of their filters before. The MSK sounds cool but for that amount of USD I would like some extra bells + whistles. I'm a bells + whistles kind of fellow, you see, which is why I'm also now somewhat drawn to the Rossum filters...

I've heard the Morpheus is a fantastic filter, but also seen that people eventually get options paralysis or just annoyed with setup time. Stereo Dipole seems like a good medium between a fuck ton of options, but fairly easy to use. I personally love the screaming sounds out of my Dual Borg, but that's not really a feature heavy VCF. I think Behndy had a Rossum Linnaeus for a bit...

EDIT: Behndy's probably had most modules for a bit....

Morpheus is... a great idea? but it clips hella easy (not just with the input stage, but with a lot of fliter settings that really aren't that extreme) and it is NOT a good clipping. very harsh, speaker breaking, not the good kind of distortion.

Linn-Anus is AMAZING. crazy amount of gooey range.

Dual Borg is sooooo good.

SPECTRAL DEVASTATORRRRR is super angry, but doesn't do lush very well. definitely more of a feedback wreck your signal box. in a beautiful way?

i've actually been most in love with Qpas lately. i have a ton of other feedback options, it's just... lush.

Yeasty - lol. shut it. i ACQUIRE loots. yayyyyyyyyy.

[mr. sound boy king]

Thanks for the run-down, behnderson.

I forgot about the existence of QPAS and the compelling video mylarmelodies put out about it. That could be a neat one.

One no one mentioned that I also look at is Erica Polivoks VCF. I like the sound of their Acidbox III and think that's the same filter (?).

LOL behndy has had them all for sure.

I'll scope the Stereo Dipole a bit though I don't need stereo at the moment. I would LIKE to run a stereo signal into the eurorack but only have the 1 XAOC Sewastopol II (rules).

Sewastopol was a great module! I really like everything Xaoc puts out. I would love to own a pure Xaoc system, which based on what they have out now, they are working towards that possibility.

You can use Stereo Dipole as dual mono. I rarely use it for stereo filtering because it;s a pain to setup for that. But also because I have a WMD Overseer that makes stereo filtering stupid easy. That's almost 100% on the output of Assimil8or for me.

Behndy, I'm surprised you're still rocking QPAS after your other Make Noise experiences.

Behndy, I'm surprised you're still rocking QPAS after your other Make Noise experiences.

I'm also surprised by this. If/when I get back into modular, QPAS and Mimeophon are pretty high on my list
