Re: Can we talk about modular synths?

i dunno man...... i do NOT like fucking with pitch settings. maybe i'm being too anal about being in key? or don't trust my ear enough? but it freaks me out recording something i like a lot then not being able to play along with it on bass or whatever because it's not quite in key. that's why a ribbon/ring ribbon butts controller appeals to me.

'bouts to ask in that New Pam's thread on Muffs, but i've been keeping up with it and don't remember anybody addressing it..... is there a way to control the division of each output over CV?

GIMME.
You have LFOs and VCAs. You can do that pitch warbling easily.

First off, beat sound nasty Behndy!

Second, no doubt the playing in the video is meh but the instrument design is awesome and basically a "poor man's Onde Martenot". I done care if you CAN get those sounds with work around a it's not as FUN. I don't believe it's as expressive either especially with vibrato and such.

Also cock rings are the future of modular. 3 "hand" playing.

I got the SQ-1 today and while I only had about a half hour to play with it, I went from test mode to full on jam mode in 3 minutes tops. So, yeah, immediacy factor is on point :yay: :yay: :yay:

lol. that's..... kinda all the appropriate funnies. it's at 90, but was JUST fucking around with a faster double time section. i dunno how useful this same beat at 180 is, but after work i can post what it sounds like if you want?

Finally got my phonogene and playing around with it, OH MY GOD this thing is so fun.

Unpredictable, still only halfway to fully understanding how to work the controls, but it's so powerful and makes amazing sounds.
