It's so eye catching, isn't it. They should have done a range of modules in that style.

Hi 56K.... really enjoyed that little demo! was really interested in your set-up, as my own modular journey also started with the Behringer's System100 range. I, too, quickly added the Doepfer Wasp filter and I love it! It "breaks" in beautifully unexpected ways! Obviously I have no idea what other modules you own, but I would totally recommend the Doepfer A-156QNT Quantizer... it makes life with the 182 so much easier. No, this is how much of a nerd I am... I recognise the cables as those which come (came) with the Arturia BSP.... so, I assume you have one. Have you tried sending rhythms from one of the drum gates to the trigger in of the 182? It means you can have much more interesting sequences than the standard 8/16 step. Lastly, you might be interested to know that I and my musical partner Grace have a track called 56k Baud which features theWasp filter to make the "modem" sound... New subscriber.

Hiya, thanks for the feedback. Nice spot with the cables, you have a keen eye! Indeed i have a BSP. I bought a load of new bright pink cables but forgot to use them in the video. Thanks for recommending the Quantizer, Just this week I added a Disting MK4 to the setup that has quantizer among many other things. I never used one before. Also checked out your track, 56k baud took a listen, and very cool. +1 subscription for you!
