Well that sounded rather fabulous Can I ask an odd question (well I'm going to anyway). Are those sounds controlled by the guitar? And if so, how? My limited understanding of synths is that control voltage is used to generate the sounds, but can you plug a guitar into one of these devices (like an effects pedal) and get it to modulate / weird out the guitar sound? I thought CV and audio was something different (happy to be wrong here, my technical knowledge is weak).

There are a couple ways to integrate a guitar into a euro system. I use an Xaoc Sewastopol and/or a Mutable/Music Thing Ears. Both are input devices and envelope followers, i.e., an input device brings the audio signal of the guitar into the modular and an envelope follower takes a high-frequency signal (guitar) and provides an output which is the envelope of the original signal.

So, you can use an input device to bring the guitar signal into the modular environment, which you could then effect or manipulate however you like or you can use the envelope follower to use your guitar playing dynamics to control parts of the modular

Edit: CV and audio are different, but similar signals in a few ways. Someone correct me if I'm wrong (because I definitely could be) but audio is generally 10Vpp AC signals and higher frequency, while CV is generally 5Vpp DC signals and lower voltage. However, a lot of the time, audio can be used as CV.

I was simply stating the conclusion to my observation of someone who has emphatic issues, along with other traits, such as anxiety/depression, collecting/hoarding/limited and intense interests. While the conclusion may or may not be right is irrelevant when the traits are blatantly obvious from reading his posts across the forum. Genuinely believing that anyone can throw money around for gear as long as they pull themselves up by their bootstraps is plain ol' 1930s American dreamy ignorance. The capitalist model is darwinian, and someone/most people are bound to end up on the bottom, no matter how much they put into it. So, while I may have gone overboard playing phychologist or whatever, the fact remains the same; UG is being ignorant and instead or reflecting and reiterating himself he just shrugs his shoulders and carries on. Fine by me, but I don't and won't regret pointing it out, because I find it obnoxious.
