Wise words! It took me a few years to work out that the boring logic and utility modules were a wonderful source of the kind of fun and creativity that makes modular so special.
I know it’s not cool to have rules for something so free-form, but I think if someone would have suggested to me many years ago that a good case should have 40% modulators, logic and utilities as a ball park, I would have found that very helpful.
Thanks. Thats a really great way to look at it actually. Especially when talking to people who are new to the format, putting a figure on it’s a great idea. Cheers again.
pausing before you get into it, so I can comment well done with all the work you've been putting in with the visual side of things. I dig it. Now back to the show.
Thanks. I needed this comment. I’d just had a really rude one off some tosser so this actually really made my day haha. Thanks again for watching and continuing to comment. I love making these videos and you remind me why it’s worth it.
Recently got the Flame Knob Recorder mk2, it's like having 3 extra hands for knobbing action.
Everyone’s (modular) instrument is unique, and it follows that the answers to the questions posed by your instrument will also be unique, and personal to you. However, as another wise man once said “cv can do three things: it can go up, go down, or stay the same”. The trick is to make it do the first two things far more often than the last…
Haha though true, the same could be said for Midi. The factor that separates the two, is the manner in which it moves those places!
hell yeah dude.
that was fun:)
Thanks for watching and the comment. Glad you enjoyed it!
This was inspiring. Thabk you. Makes me want to go read a biography on Picasso and go and create more music.
Thanks. I’m deep into tomorrow’s edit and it’s tough going! Comments like these really help motivate me. What type of music do you make?
@@Mavenfiction I'm normally a programmer and a writer. Since the pandemic I've been experimenting with generative electronic music.
@@icco awesome! I think you’ll love today’s video then haha some generative ambient in a tiny case!
From my point of view voices can now be obtained by desk top units. However I have just a few cheaper VCO in the case. Then it's LFOs which I have Pamela's and a few others. Mixers. Need them. Including a Matrix Mixer, VCA many, Sequencer, and then most importantly effects. Definitely need effects. Effects are the glue and fairy dust for modular. And I use eurorack in case effects and out board effects.
It's a fantastic world for me. Love it.
Yeah I especially love granular effects in the modular. I think it’s great to pair them with loads of modulation. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Love this description
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment!
I made the same mistake with my first modular adventure, I totally quit, but now I’m back and I’m up to the eyeballs in modulation and not as happy with my voices as I once was!
What voices have you gone for? Thanks for sharing and for the comment appreciate it.
Yer a philosopher, Aaron, and no mistake 😊👍
Thanks for watching and the kind comment Ian! I’ll take that haha, thanks!
Awesome advice, I think I’ve probably been down a very similar route 😂
Thanks for watching and the comment. Glad it resonated! Cheers.
The Dr. Seuss part cracked me up lolll
Haha thanks for watching and for the comment. Love your music! Amazing to think an electronic music legend is sat watching me make shit jokes haha. Cheers mate!
I am drawn by modular but not sure why, perhaps because of the many knobs for hands-on control. Anyways, this talk was entertaining and educational and I subscribed to learn more from you.
It’s great fun but it’s a rabbit hole haha. You either need to be in it for fun or you need to know you’ll enjoy the workflow and benefit from it.
Ps thanks for watching and the comment :)
For me it would be purely for fun or getting rid of boredom, but for music making itself I think my synth VST's serve me better.
I smoked over 50.000 joints 😂
my joint is like picasso
Good, common sense comments 👍 There's a weird trend of packing so much functionality into small modules that it rivals advanced keyboards or desktop synthesizers, but at what cost?
Of course, at the cost of user interface and often reduced flexibility. It's a wrong idea, in my opinion. That's not what modular synthesis should be about. It should be about fun of turning simple elements into complex setups. More complex modules have their place, but without going too far into complexity and leaving the fun behind.
Yes
Thanks for watching and for the comment
Thanks for your thoughts. Unfortunately a lot of dog poo surrounding all that modular explorations, including mine, ;-)
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching and for the comment :)
Always respectfully and positively 😂
My first word was 'antidisestablishmentarianism' ... Of course I didn't start talking until I was 25, but ...
It still counts! Haha
words💎
Haha thanks for watching and for the comment :)
With all these "possibilities" available to create your own musical "personality", how many have actually done so? Maybe a handful out of billions? Just trying to put some perspective on the issue when folks try to make these electronic "tools" out to be Personality Generators!🙃😉😎
I hear what you’re saying. It’s more likely than using presets and shelf bought synths though. And if you can justify the unsightly cost, it’s amazing fun either way haha
So the 3 lessons you learned are you love cv, you love cv and you love cv?
Well that and where to best invest. But mainly though, that Modular has increased the amount of knob jokes I make by around 85%. I didn’t really know if that was an applicable lesson for others though?
@@Mavenfiction well answered 😂 👍
Wheyyy
😀
can't have too many friggin LFO and stuffs
Certainly friggin can’t my friend haha
This lady is a professional at Eurorack
