You'll definitely like his Sigil soundtrack then! Lots of good material to make a horror soundtrack with!

That little pod definitely looks fun for mangling samples if you are OK with the 0-ctrl as the only modulation.

I will have a lot of other modulation sources available from the Matriarch, Strega, and Werkstatt too. I'm really pushing the semi-modular limits :lol:

As a fellow sample addict, it looks pretty cool, but my first thought was "that looks like a lot of space for something that is effectively a Microgranny (or the discontinued Grandpa)."


So I have to ask: how set are you on the modules listed there?
good deals are here.

I'm definitely not 100% set on them and I'm definitely not rushing into anything at the moment, but I would argue that it would be closer to 2 Microgrannies with much higher sampling and playback quality as both the STS and Beads are stereo and the STS can play two stereo files simultaneously. Admittedly, I don't need the most high quality sample recording and playback, but 8-bit 22050Hz recording does seem a little too lo-fi and I have actually had a Microgranny in the past and felt like it was a bit more of a novelty than an instrument. That being said, I am still open to other options :idk:

It begins :omg:

What's the plans with the beebo? Run that with the bass and ADAM or feed that through the maze of knobs and buttons you have ?

So many sounds, that modular gas is growing and I can feel it.

Beebo's capabilities have expanded with it's possibilities for complexitude-related user shutdown now that you can run the Beebo and Digit firmwares all at once, as it were :snax:

krrrazy amounts of loots in there :whoa:

yesssss. EXCITED about loots.

i don't know how much i'll use the synth stuff in the Beebo, at least to start. i'm more into it for the effects side right now. i migggggggght grab a Keystep or Keystep Pro to explore that, but the idea now was to have 2 separate sections with different approaches, easy to communicate between each other, but also to run them as their own areas.

i have the ADAM running into my mixer, so it can be sent to any of the 3 aux outs. one is going to the main modular section, one is to the Microcosm, one is (going to be) to the Blue Box. the sends is the way i'm going to interface the different sections of the desk i think?

lol. TRYING to have everything be able to go to everything WITHOUT USING A PATCHBAY.

.... i ordered a Blue Box to be the sub mixer for semi modular loots before hitting main mixer. i love that i can do that to monitor, then record to the SD card if i want to multi track from it.

Damn it's just a render. That's a sexy design, although I doubt the screen would look that good.
