7 new modules in. Now time to unscrew everything and re-install everything.

Check out what people do with the buchla spectral processor...it's not just a filter.yeatsvisitslincoln wrote:http://frap.tools/products/fumana/
Anyone got any thoughts on this? Just saw that it went up for pre order. I know 16 bands is more than the 6 that the 4MS SMR offers, but is it really THAT necessary? And at $1k???
I've seen neat things like taking apart another song band by band to trigger other gates/envelopes to extract rhythms. It has a ton of uses. Todd Barton has some good stuff and maybe djangofire

Filter, vocoder, band processor, 16 envelopes, harmonic controller...
These are always expensive. Verbos has one too.

I love how it sounds like if it was right on the edge of feedbacking, man this is not helping my gas.

Yeah, I've always wanted something like this and it's definitely something I'd consider adding to my setup if I somehow found the cashlordgalvar wrote:Check out what people do with the buchla spectral processor...it's not just a filter.yeatsvisitslincoln wrote:http://frap.tools/products/fumana/

I’m sure the embed won’t work because I’m on mobile, but whatever.
Some people have seen these on Instagram, but here’s a YT supercut of me controlling my rack with drums. Mostly sketches of ideas and first attempts at different patches and trigger arrangements. Phone speakers are shit for this, not because it’s good audio, but because there’s some sub bass and 808 kick stuff that will be inaudible at low volume on a phone.

I've been watching and enjoying your synth + drum instagram videos for awhile, but somehow totally missed that you were controlling your rack with the drums$harkToootth wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83N4FHSDf30Invisible Man wrote:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83N4FHSDf30[/youtube]

They’re the ‘control surface,’ yeah.

Your videos remind me of a band that is slowly becoming a favorite. Ever hear of KILL ALTERS?

Okay. So that looks amazing and my original skepticism was unwarranted. Having those abilities would be awesome.lordgalvar wrote:Check out what people do with the buchla spectral processor...it's not just a filter.yeatsvisitslincoln wrote:http://frap.tools/products/fumana/

And I should shut up about $1k.... I'm on the precipice of getting an ER-101/102...

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Seeing how long I can go with one main rack and the skiff.
Making the tough decision to take the Metropolis+Shifty out of the controller skiff, so we'll see how this goes. I might swap out the Atlantis for Akemie's Castle (or everything to the left of Atlantis for Akemie's Castle) but I'm really excited to try out all the XAOC stuff. Learning Drezno and Lipsk is top priority.
