My visit to synthesizers.com
I had the privilege to visit the folks at DotCom. I brought my camera just to get some video of the large 110 space modular in their showroom and I'm trying to learn this new camera. Mike suggested I video behind the scenes and encouraged me to post it so the public can have a peek. This is in no way an advertisement and I'm not compensated in any way other than to get to see my favorite synthesizer company making modules!
I have an 88 space system that I bought and love what they do.
First, if you're interested in DotCom modular, you should go on their website, synthesizers.com and sign up for the email newsletter. They periodically send out notices of specials and sales! Also, join the Friends of synthesizers.com facebook page. They announce sales there as well.

Check out vcvrack. It’s a virtual modular synthesizer you can download to your computer for free! Synthesizers.com has many of their modules available in vcvrack. Also free. If you like the idea of try it before you buy it this may be just the ticket. Check it out.

Back in the 80's I put together a bedroom studio built around the Tascam 388 Reel to Reel. This was the first tune I put together. My gear was, Oberheim OB-8 Oberheim Xpander Oberheim DX Drum Machine Emu Emax Sampler 360 Systems Midi Bass There is a lot of Xpander in this as well as Emu choir etc. I thought it would be fun to bring it back with some video.

      I used to have an OB-8. 😃 Actually I received a lengthy email from a viewer explaining how this sound was made and included notation. Once I saw that I realized I didn’t exactly get it right. My interpretation was from listening to another posted video of THX of which there are several and they don’t all sound the same either. It was a fun exercise…

    Is "3rd row of timing" supposed to work with an external clock? Mine, behringer doesn't.... I wonder why they did that

    • @geoelectro
      @geoelectro 16 днів тому

      Not sure I understand your question. Third row timing is a switch that causes the third row tuning knobs to adjust the duration of each step. Normally each step, whether internally clocked or externally, has the same duration. When third row timing is on, the tuning knobs of the third row now adjust the duration of each step. This is a way to create a rhythmic pattern.

    • @LazarusGordon
      @LazarusGordon 16 днів тому

      😊​@@geoelectrohi. Unfolrtunatly in the behringer 960, the clone, 3rd row timing doesnt work with external clock. I was wondering if the original 960 was the same or not... Are you sure yours works either ext clock or internal one?

    • @geoelectro
      @geoelectro 16 днів тому

      @@LazarusGordon I think we’re mixing up two different things. First, my video about external clock had nothing too with third row timing. It was about running the whole sequencer from an external clock so it could be sync’d with a DAW etc. Third row timing is a feature that sets the duration of each step using the attenuators on the third row. Whether using the internal or an external clock, third row timing will just set duration. If likely yours doesn’t have the external clock option. This was something synthesizers.com put in their copy of the original Moog 960. I don’t know if the original Moog had this option either. Of course you can use the shift input to clock the sequencer as an option.

    • @geoelectro
      @geoelectro 15 днів тому

      If you’re using the shift input for an external clock the third row timing won’t work. The third row timing is adjusting the internal osc speed for each step. I will test to see if it works with an external clock. It may not. Sorry if I misunderstood your original question.

    • @geoelectro
      @geoelectro 12 днів тому

      OK. It does work with the external clock driving the oscillator. Remember, this is a quirk of the synthesizers.com version of the 960. Behringer likely used the original Moog version to emulate. Driving the sequencer (either type) with the shift input goes around the oscillator and as such the third row timing has no effect.

    thanks for the great video!!! i recently solved this too with an attenuated square LFO to the v/o in, but that can also get messy with phase and timing depending on the modules used. but i really love how there's ways to conserve resources in modular, thinking to yourself things like "this part of the patch is using up a lot of steps on a sequencer" or "i want to free up this module to use for another thing, how can i do it"... there's optimizations for most patches to reduce the number of cables and modules used too. how to make the most with what you have is a fun challenge.
