I need a war chest. Too stressful to be self-employed, even with the fairly decent local communism

But honestly, I just have a better feel with tabletop setups and noise boxes, but who knows, might include some modules on there someday?

I will bring my modular to the next ILF meetup and you can try integrating it with pedz + guitar if you really want to be in perpetual gear debt for the rest of your life.

I mean I see modular as being able to design a tabletop/noise setup to your liking. There definitely is no shortage of modules that can be used to make the noises you truly desire.

Also why are we not talking about this:

I saw that but a 4 x 2 matrix mixer doesn't really get the oven cooking for me. I still don't 100% understand how matrix mixers truly work though, want to get my hands on one to confirm.

I do sort of want to build this matrix mixer though. I feel like 8x4 can get fucky real quick.

I wanna say thank but also no thanks, so I'll just say fuck you, D.o.S.

Yeah I can say now that you know I'm your SS, but I really do enjoyed stalking your modular approach. It's exactly where I'm at. It's part of a toolbox that needs to work with peds, guitars, hardware synth and samplers and drum machines and noise boxes and all. So a smaller rack like yours is clearly where it's at. A wall of modules would actually lack in modularity from not being portable.

tfw bae doesn't read the link:

Mix 01 features the new Rebel Technology analogue bus, allowing compatible modules to be interconnected without additional patching. Two or more Mix 01 modules can be combined to create a matrix with more inputs and outputs.

I just selectively read that link then last week

I've been waiting for someone to stock the DIY kit of their Phoreos for a while now, guess I'll just have to get it from Thonk though.

I will say that as I get more and more into DIY, I find myself needing a vastly larger studio case. Integration with all things noise though is definitely a key though.

The best way to think of a matrix mixer might be to think of a patchulator that has input and output gain controls over each channel?

I'm pretty happy with my Rolands for mixing with extra routable processing and shit, and I want Blinds and Frames eventually too, so I've got it covered from half a dozen different angles already and might still add more. The pico sequential switch is definitely high on the list as well.
I love how odd HP is just a complete non-issue anymore thanks to Picomania.

I honestly just think of a matrix mixer like a standard mixer with more outputs and controls. A standard mixer would take X inputs and allow you to mix them to an output. A matrix mixer takes the same X inputs, but you can mix them in different ratios to X outputs.
The best part is really just the feedback loops though

Yeah that's a better way of describing it, for sure. It's a great way to create a blend of disparate input sounds and decide where and how much of each you want to send to what, essentially.

Do you have a link to your rack?
