  • This adorable little synth is a lot of fun and very enjoyable to explore. Here running through a clouds clone, need to unpatch everything and run it through midside and spring reverb…

    Finally someone that plays this not just a s a dry, chaotic noisebox, but actually tries to play it like an instrument. Really interesting sounds. Thank you :)

      Thanks! It’s definitely an inspiring instrument. The ‘chaos’ in it falls into repeating patterns, and the slider for it sort of works like a three position switch (with extra glitchy zones on the cusps), this definitely also allows you to find and move between different repeating gestures.
      It’s learnable, too, you can get to know it and anticipate where abouts it’s going to go. It’s a pleasure to play / play with and quite versatile.

      @@mxrobertfrost Ah, so the chaos is not actually chaos? Hmm, disappointing.

      @@GeirOpdal - I might be wrong about what the circuit is doing, it’s ‘chaotic’ but depending on how you use it you can get something like patterns. Per manual “Chaos Modulation outputs a pseudo-random, stepped CV” - I think it is a sample and hold and you can adjust its source. Since you’re also able to modulate everything, (including whatever it’s sampling, and the frequency at which it samples) it can be very chaotic, or feel a bit more like patterns. The manual and block diagram are a bit oblique about it, so I’m going off feel. In my opinion it’s a more playable option than say feeding a S&H noise, but plenty chaotic.

      @@mxrobertfrost Ok. I dont know enough about these things to really know. It can still be a cool option though it it can also sound truely random I hope you will put out more videos with it. And bring on the effects aswell. There are too little demoes of instruments like this that uses efx and filters. And too few have understood what you so obviously have understood and does well; "chaos" instruments need subtle movement of pots and sliders.

      @@sandubogi ooh, difficult to decide between!! If it’s the euro duos you’re getting, be interested to see how you go with it. I got an angle grinder a couple of months back! It’s very interesting as well, Duos is definitely more of a stand-alone instrument / control voltage source, and angle grinder an oscillator / processor. Hikari have been posting some great Duos videos with beads on Instagram too, if you haven’t seen those and want more inspiration!
