Can we talk about modular synths?

[oscillateur]

Yet another annoying question: Was getting some fun vowel sounds out of my stomps last night, am assuming there are more in depth modular options for this (I know about the Flame but I think that's discontinued and Spaceboy won't sell me his because the world is a cold dark place), any suggestions?

Without dedicated modules, you can end up with vocal-sounding stuff with most resonant filters. I'd have to look up for the exact technique/patching but that's definitely something you can get with "normal" modules.

[D.o.S.]

Yeah that's more or less what I've got going with the filters I have now, there's just some parameters that I can't cover adequately basically that the sweep isn't slow enough while still remaining vowel shaped. (This is always my problem, incidentally). DIdn't realize you could use a joystick with the Foment Filter, that's p. interesting,

This is cool!

Also talking about drum things

Iron Ether is stepping it up.

Has anyone received their Trogotronic case ?

If so, any comments/pics/etc. ?
I'll very probably get one soon but any new feedback would be great .

Just cleared a patch so it seemed like a good time to grab a photo of the newest iteration of my set up:

Mine shows up tomorrow. My buddy ordered one a few days after me from Perfect Circuit and it showed up last week ( ). He brought it over and it is nice and solid. The main complaint that he has is is that the power distro in the case doesn't use clips to plug into. He had to go back and unscrew modules and reseat the cables for several modules. The power distro is just pins sticking up and you plug into those. He suggested that when I get it, power it on without any modules, make sure the three light come on. Then power off, add a module and make sure it is powered/working correctly, then repeat.

Cool, looking forward to your impressions .
For the distro boards, they're all like that as far as I know (Synthrotek, 4MS, etc.), I don't think any of them clips.

That case actually looks really nice. I'm realizing that I could upgrade my power supply and make my rig portable with two of them. And they're a reasonable price so that's surprisingly not totally out of the question. I'll have to look into them a bit more when I'm ready to upgrade.

I sold my Epoch Benjolin and bought a Noise Engineering Loquelic Iteritas. I'm sad to see the Benjolin go, but I don't think I'll miss it too much. I really wasn't using it too frequently and I'm on the list for a Blippoo Box anyways. And the Loquelic Iteritas looks right up my alley. Bring on the harsh morphing drones

I still need to get a proper trigger sequencer thing. I'm thinking the ALM Pamela's Workout plus swapping my RCD+BO for a Noise Eng Numeric Repeater or maybe just some standard logic. Or maybe I should just get an Abstract Data Octocontroller. I was thinking about the Monome Meadowphysics, but that Grid is crazy expensive and apparently draws a lot of power.

I think I might like this one more than the Mother 32, but I need more demos. Modular is getting more and more enticing lately.

[D.o.S.]

Image isn't working for me, what is it?

[Inconuucl]

It's Pittsburgh modular's answer to the Moog Mother 32.

Image hidden because I don't know how big it is. Holy hell I want this touch keyboard though. I love my QuNexus but this thing has so much cool shit on it.

[oscillateur]

I'm planning on getting that keyboard module too for my planned 6U portable rig.

About trigger generators : Pamela's Workout is great. One really nice thing is that there's a start/stop button. Very, very useful.

The start/stop is a huge plus for the Pamela, but I'd only be able to use it as a trigger sequencer, whereas the Octocontroller has all the other things that would be super useful like the LFOs and S&H. I actually really don't know which I'd rather.

Warps arrives tomorrow (ordered on christmas from PCA, and they ran out, so this is a backorder from a fresh batch).

I just started messing with the gate sequencer mode in the Voltage Memory, it's very nice. Need more drums now.
I also liked the WMD qunexus-looking keyboard thing they had a preview of a while back - can't remember the name or video now, but it had diagonal lit up keys and looked awesome. I think I'd wait for that...I already have two fancy touch controllers though.
