Can we talk about modular synths?

It's my old avatar from way back, it's like an old jacket. Cover art from Animal Man #34.

Rainmaker has 2 sections: granular pitch shifting 16-tap delay, and comb resonator. There is a button to access every parameter of each section, and the 2 sections can be configured comb > delay, delay > comb, delay + comb summed, or delay left / comb right. The 128 presets don't even begin to cover all the ground it's capable of. The bulk of them are Richard Devine presets, and seem to mostly be for drums & percussion.

You can assign randomization to single parameters, groups of them, or all of them.

Each tap has it's own filter HP/BP/LP, and you can choose which taps to feed back into the delay. You can also pitch shift each tap up or down 15 semitones, before the global pitch shift, which adds or subtracts another 15. So, to set up a simple whammy effect, you only need 1/16th of the delay capabilities. Feed it a staircase LFO or a sequence and you have instant arpeggiator. The grain size and quantity adjustments affects the shape & sound of the repeats, taking it into cloudsy territory. There is a "slip" parameter that makes the taps sort of blur ahead or behind the feedback...

There's lots more. It's ridiculous. Groove patterns for the repeats, reverse on/off, ping pong on/off, volume meters for each section. Q for each tap filter. It's bottomless.

Fuuuuuck.

What's the HP on that?

So, I just bought a Ieaskul F Mobenthy Dunst, Denum, Swoop, Sprott, and Barres...I already have a Sprott...and I also have a Dunst on it's way in the mail right now.....

But it was a package deal and I'll save a decent amount of money after flipping one Dunst and Sprott

I regret selling my Fourses now; I would have had the entire set!

Going to be spending this weekend building a Befaco Rampage and the new Turing Machine. Bummed Modular Addict didn't have the V2 expanders for the Turing Machine so guess I'll have to wait on those for now.

I'm probably going to spend some money during the Tokyo Festival of Modular next month. I already ordered a Pico VCO from the Erica Synths people that I'll grab at their booth, and I suspect that some other things might grab my a̶t̶t̶e̶n̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ wallet...

It's nice to finally have some space to expand with the 7U case (I obviously have plans so I'm not going to get random stuff, at least).

I'm saving my paypal piggy for the pico seq & drums. Might have enough for one more by the time they're available here, in another month or so. The only thing that could interrupt that right now would be the sudden release of the lofi junky & fuzz factory, but they seem to be indefinitely delayed.

One of the uzeus I sold on ebay got returned to me dead. I suspect the guy I sold it to fried it somehow and didn't want to own up to it, so I reported him after giving the refund.
I ordered Tiptop's Mantis brick just to make sure it was the module that was dead and not the adapter. Emailed Gur and he just said to send it in, so it looks like I'm going to have a boosted uzeus to start the march towards 15-18U.

Also got 2 packs of the Verbos cables, and one of them was dead right out of the package. They are the perfect length for 12U/84 though (60cm). Now I just need some more stackables and I'll be done with cables for a while.

Everyone needs a Turing Machine. Man this thing is so fucking cool.

What is it?

Random looping sequencer. The Thonk DIY page will describe it better than me though.

I've always kind of wanted one in my rack, but I really don't have space for one. Plus I have a Bishop's Miscellany, which can do something similar.

Still haven't tried the parasites for Warps or Peaks yet. The one for Peaks has a Turing mode. One of these days...

There is so much alternate firmware that I need to install and try out. I just really like all the base modules already so I never really bother with the alternate firmware
