Can we talk about modular synths?

This is what I'm feeling right in the now, ya'll.

Rings is something special. Have you looked at the Bastl Ciao as an output module?

[D.o.S.]

why would you not have the clouds and rings next to each other are you some kind of monster.

Ooh, that's a lot better! And yeah, I love the rings and the demos I've seen of it. eventually I want to expand and make it an Elements+rings combo. My future plan is to have one voice running a sequence and the other controlled by a keyboard. Also making ever changing alien instruments with modular is my jam.

Because I feed off your indignity, my dear.

...Fuck, now it's bothering me.

So I got Basimilus Iteritas Alter in the mail today and holy shit is it ever awesome! It's so freaking dense! I put together a really simple patch: a sequence from Moskwa with the clock into RCD and a few different divisions going into the trigger, skin/metal/liquid, and bass/treble/alto. Just three modules, but it sounded amazing.

Also it absolutely loves the Pretty Years. That's a pair that was basically made for each other.

I'll post demos/clips soon

Waiting on the Ears in the mail still. And I'm not really planning any changes other than replacing the EMW Echo Delay with a Shakmat Knight's Gallop

[D.o.S.]

note the relative position of the clouds and the rings.

[Strange Tales]

I really want to get an Alter, smaller HP and more options than the normal version of it (which I have a LOVE it).

Also my Clouds and Rings are really far apart. (by vision design though)

For those of you who are looking for a case, the new TipTop Mantis seems really, really nice. And cheap. Downsides : not that much +5V (for monome/etc. modules) and no lid/cover.

But $335 for a powered 6U/104HP is a great price.

Sorry for the big images, they're linked from Tiptop's website.

Wow those are cool. I speak as someone who is looking for an affordable case.

[Inconuucl]

Would I be able to replace the power for something like the intellijel?

That power supply looks pretty customized for the case. Might not be a simple swap. You'd probably have to contact Tiptop about that.

[Strange Tales]

FWIW, if you're doing a case that you don't really plan on bringing into the outside world, the Synthrotek Cheeks of Power cases are unholy cheap. I picked mine up (6U, 104HP) for like $270 from Perfect Circuit Audio

[fever606]

But it doesn't let you live out your retro-futuristic daydreams like the new TipTop case does...

[D.o.S.]

This guy gets it

[Dark Barn]

Well, Perfect Circuit has these Tiptop cases for pre-order. I ordered one, I have modules that will get here before that case so, I'd like to get crack a lackin. I think I have everything I need for a mostly basic voice, maybe someone could tell me if I'm wrong. I have picked up a VCO, a VCF, a VCA/mixer, an envelope generator, and a MIDI/CV interface. So I think that covers the meat and potatoes. Right?
