DIY case is really great option if you want to start building modular. Many people forget about utility modules, keep that in mind, folks. MIDI, I/O, CV or even USB, mixers, multiples, clock generators and dividers, many things to learn. Fighting GAS becomes harder after watching videos about modular.
My favorite part of the knobs channel is watching you take the awesome FX stomp boxes you get and apply them to synths. So I'm super glade you went in this direction.
I didn't know what these things were called till a couple months ago. You could say I've been a bit of a distant admirer, but now I'm thinking about fucking around and starting on this journey thanks to you.
10 months into this adventure with a background in synths , guitar, and making linear music in cubase for indie film I realize i still need to slow down and learn how to get more out of each module and my mistake was buying too many VCO and not enough modulation modules to control and shape doing some course correcting now....but at the end of the day this is all so much fun
I’m looking forward to seeing more of this series. I started to compile some gear a year or so ago, but got frustrated and backed away. It would be really cool to see a “here’s a cheap and easy way to get started” or a “you need the following to get moving” video. I would hope that this channel could do this in a judgment free zone & express some of your own opinions too. So far, so good!
even though it's not for everyone, exploring software on this channel could be a cool way to alleviate the belief that one needs excessive money in order to create good music ~
You can very easily start very small (maybe just a VCO and a LPG or VCF) but use software generated CV to control it. I do this with Reaktor and an Expert Sleepers ES3 (but you can use vcv rack, max msp, etc). I do have quit a big system, but I can make it even bigger by patching from the computer, that way I can also test some functions or specific modules I might be thinking on buying but don't fully understand how they may work within my system
This series could not have started at a better time for me. I feel some kind of telepathy here, thank you my dear Knobs. 🖤

I love your modular series!
Love it. Great, video. Goes well with my Friday early evening buzz. WEEKEND!!!

Great series, I wondering witch kind of stack cables are you using? Thanks
These videos are awesome! The look of the vids is so nice, and they are super helpful. I wish these had been around when I started with modulars!

I must be really tired, I had to keep rewinding just to keep up with the reading.
Fascinating, either way.
almost full case of expensive modules for that 70s organ drumbox sound, amazing XD
Amazed
Loving this series💕
Oh, geez, awesome (probably)!
Thanks, this is really helpful
Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love these a lot
what is the thing you're tapping on at 1:28?
How do you create those incredible liquid-like textures in your sounds?
interesting! merci Knobs!
I'd subscribe, but I already did.
love your videos, ive been wanting to make a small portable case that i can fit in a rucksack. whats the little power supply are you using here?
What are those yellow CV touch points? Akemies Vs Dinkys? What are the benefits of each?
Yessss
I say this with a lot of love: This channel is crazy shit!
I want to get into it...just so expensive though...
What is the power supply that is used for the case shown in the video? I have some tip top flying bus board modules that I'd like to get rid of.
I would like to know too?
what power supply are you using
Watching this video made me wish I started slower :P
Ps: such nice cases, did you diy those mr knobs?
What do you think about starting virtually, for free, with vcv rack?
I think it's a great option. I don't enjoy making music with software so I've never given it a go, but it's a great tool.
a good way to learn fundamentals before dropping cash BUT nothing beats the tangible control imo

Oooooh so this is what those old photos of switch board operators from the 50s are all about. Who needs telephones when you have oscillators
When did modular become a verb ?
Yes.
@John Verne yes.
So following the logic, putting modules into is rack must be the process of modulation, right? 😉
@@JWMO13 yes.
its always a good time to verb a noun
More Cowbell... I mean, more and more videos like this one :-)
important: Intellijel Robot Mult...... really important if you own a MicroBrute.......
I just want something to make fast drum patterns with.
I don't understand
welcome, take a seat.
It would be fun to make one of these if IT DOESN'T COST MAH BUTT
I always got the impression a BIA was the king of drum modules?
Wow!?! Now some people will get serious GAS and will treat it with money. 😅🎛🎚
I should have stayed in school
blimey!?!?!😐😀🐂💨
Mmm. Knobular.
First!!!
