Can we talk about modular synths?

[coldbrightsunlight]

Damn that's nice looking!

Here's what I'm working with today. Fun little patch with the phonogene turned into a song! Love it when that happens.

I meant to include more beats through the sewastopol but can't find my only 3.5-6.35mm cable... :/

I need to get my intellijel case already, the more I see you guys go forth the more gas I get.

Working on the second song for my album. This is an extremely early clip. Still need to go back and edit out parts, add guitar and mix.

Noodling around with Shapeshifter and Rings. I'm almost afraid Shapeshifter is _too_ deep for me.

That looks fun

hurm. do most of y'all go right to left for Mostly Wired Together THINGS?

like, i know i usually follow pedalboard rules when doing a layout. and conceptually, if it was one row, it would go sequencer -> osc -> vca/envelope -> effects -> mixer.

[coldbrightsunlight]

I just put things close together that I patch together a lot eg sequencer and osc, if I find all my patches are going from one end to the other all the time using all my big cables I think about rearranging

Now with 6U coming up I've been trying to to put similar modules next to each other, and also look at the placement of the jacks on the modules.

For example the voltage block only has outputs at the top, so for me that's a bottom row module (also it's got the keys at the bottom). It'd be awkward sitting on top row.

Pressure points is perfect in the left corner with its outputs at the top and at the right. Clouds is generally a top row module because of the low I/Os, and to the right because it'll probably (but not always) end up later in the chain.

This is pretty much how I roll, go for ergonomics, and move stuff if I’m having hassles getting at the controls once in a while. I have some left to right going on but a few things done totally opposite. I also don’t like to move modules around all the time so I just accept the “devil I know” rather than work too much at making it perfect.

Also thanks for explaining how Just Friends works, I was thinking of taking a crack at it but was too lazy. I’ll add that Martin Doudoroff’s YouTube videos of it are really good for getting some interesting ideas for JF. https://www.youtube.com/user/MartinDoudoroffLLC

I've got my output module on the lower right corner of my 7U case. The PicoDSP and Chronoblob are next to it as they're typically near the end of the final sound.

My Pamela's Workout is on the top left corner of the case, and it drives a number of things all over the place (and all these jacks at the bottom that are used for many destinations means it has to be in the top row). Beyond that, there's a bit more of left to right that the opposite as far as sound flow is concerned but that depends on the patches.

I play with layouts in modulargrid all the time. Left to right is a general work flow I keep in mind but it's mostly focused around how to keep the most wiggled knobs uncluttered by highly likely patch flows.

For example, I don't want Quadra directly to the right of Blinds because the ins/outs of Blinds would always be running over Quadra's knobs, which I like to play with on the fly a lot.

It's like a game of Tetris I'll never win

[behndy]

nice. i follow pretty much all those methods, trying to pay attention to where ins/outs are, left to right, effects next to each other how they're usually wired, outputs at the end.

GOOD. that's what made sense to me, just wanted to make sure i wasna MISSING SOMETHING.
