after how disappointing the MachineDrum was after i lusted after it for yearrrrrrrrrrrrrs i'm so damn happy this thing is just a BEAST. a beast of FUN TIMES.

[Deltaphoenix]

Yes!!!

Sherman is FUN. Plug your bass into it.

[Chankgeez]

Yes!!!

behndy don't play bass no more. (I want that Filterbank.)

[behndy]

heyyyyyyyy! i still play bass. just. you know. not as much.

there is a LOT to learn in the modulars damnit.

[Deltaphoenix]

I am in the same boat. I pick a bass up every once in awhile, play fuzzy riffs, confirm that I can still play somewhat and go back to bleeps and bloops.

[behndy]

jia. for me it's more of a space issue right now. i baaaaarellllly have room for half of the electro loot i would like to use.

[behndy]

what i'mmmmmmmm curious is if anyone has rehoused a Filterbank into a 3u format? ditch the MIDI, swap the 1/4 inch ins and outs for 1/8? murrrrrrrr?

[Chankgeez]

you just want it etched.

I've kind of been down a Mutable lately. The more I hear Rings as a voice, the more I can't stand it. But it's a nice resonator...

You do know the thing has an input, right ? And the sounds it produces can be processed ?
You can do a lot with this module if you consider it, like other modules, as a building block instead of "just" a full voice.

Lol yeah. Did you see my next comment about how I like to patch it?

Anyways, I think my issue with it right now is that given the size and limitations of my setup (6U 104), it either tends to dominate a patch or just sit unused.

Also, I was mostly bitching about how I hear other people use it as a full voice. Somehow it's not the most intuitive module to get the sounds I want to get out of it. Rings into fuzz or distortion actually does some really nice things because of the overtones. Can you tell I have a love hate relationship with it?

I sort of agree with this, but I'm not over the honeymoon yet so I still love it. Sometimes I do have to "force" myself not to use it because I love it so much.

I just want to pop in and say I have started buying modules and researching as of two weeks ago. I'm planning a modular synth and I hate all of you for this what am I doing with my life.

One of us! One of us!

mine is a few cents out of tune (is this normal/adjustable???)

There's a calibration procedure in the manual: https://mutable-instruments.net/modules/rings/manual/

Kind of unrelated but this is a video people here can relate to I guess, just replace the Push/whatever with a modular

Sigh, I preordered a Magneto.....

The demos sound so good! So good! I tried looking around the web for a release date on this guy but can’t find it now. Although a voice in my head is telling me March...
