I know the ones in Vidret’s post are from Raiph at Michigan Synthworks because I’ve ordered other things from him, can reach him as Altitude909 on MW.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I usually hate menu diving modules, but I love my O_C. I find it very straight forward and surprisingly intuitive to use. The user interface is really well laid out and organised. I still haven't explored all the modes, but I mostly bought it to replace my Turing Machine and quantizer with the Quantermain mode (4 quantizers with the option to feed them from independent Turing Machines). I've also messed with Quadraturia (a quadrature LFO), Piqued (4 envelope generators), and Viznutcracker (I honestly don't know what byte beats are but this mode generates them and they sound pretty cool).vidret wrote:Also please do share how annoying the O_c is, it seems like total buttduck to play with but has so much to offer.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I'm going to a uO_C as soon as I can. That's one of the modules that made me go "yup, modular is where I need to go."MrNovember wrote:I usually hate menu diving modules, but I love my O_C.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
i was super butts excited about having one, and just never really dug it. it's not a BAD interface, just always had more fun with other things?

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
also, ordered some Oscillasaurus panels for the Mutables i use.
Magpie is cool but a little too..... i dunno.... bubbly? i like the VERY SERIOUS TIMES of the Osc'y Sauropod stuff.m a lot. would like him to do a uBraids.
also also, why no uRings? that would be NEAT.

With the current trend of uMutable, I'm sure it's only a matter of time.behndy wrote:also also, why no uRings? that would be NEAT.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
So I've been getting some nice broken-sounding IDMish drums from this technique:
First I got nonstop samplechanging drum & cymbal loops going on the 2 Pico drums, so they're just like 2 noise sources constantly spitting out randomly changing beats, fills and rolls. Alone it just sounds like a mess of crazy drum slop, but when you let that chaos through VCAs (or filters) in short sequenced envelope patterns, all mismatched tempos are forced into that one timing, and all these crazy combinations come through the sequenced envelopes as a coherent yet constantly changing beat, with constantly changing clusters of sounds.
Probably not a new technique, I just kind of stumbled across it and it's pretty awesome.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Why not both? Sure they have a mode in common but that's about it. The O_C can do a lot more than Pam's, but Pam's has a lot of options within its one function.vidret wrote:pamelas new workout vs micro O_c?

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
yah. i mean. i looooove the idea of the OC, but i had both for about 6 months and wanted to dive into the OC like.... twice? but always use the Pam's. so. dunno man.
