Wait. Where do I watch the directors cut?

Please show me.

Finn.no mofo. Type in «modulær». Be patient.

I would imagine either buying the dvd/blu-ray or pirating are probably the only two ways you could.
I'm hoping one day I'll be at someone's house with 4 hours to kill and it will just appear in front of me.

Really good documentary.

Potatoes as CV generators FTW.

Watching this on Netflix now.
Guys....it's making me give a shit about modular....this could be bad...

Run...RUN!!

The cut on Netflix does no favors to the modern revival era, IMO. Where the early parts of the film are about making sounds and music, the end portion is more about hardware fetishism and subculture. So if the patching is just a fetish thing, why not just use a virtually patched software sim? I feel the pull of modular, too, but that portion just looked like a cautionary warning to me.

It's Alright, my pockets won't allow it.

Yeah I got that feel from it as well. I suppose it's the same as tube amps and pedals. Tactile, magic insides, things to connect, mountains to build....

I've watched the Hardcore edition like 4 times. I used to put it on when I was bored and dreaming about owning a system.
Now I have a nice little, expensive euro setup. SO beware, the addiction is real

Compared to anything I've tried, my bandmates old Buchla seemed to me the holy Grail of everything. Sounded wonderful, the quality s impeccable, the user interface is wonderful, above all else I've tried. They've got a bad reputation for costing quite a bit (like, each module costs the same as ten or more pedals) and that can lead You to thinking just how much would Your neighbor be worth to organ harvesting black markets.

Then they released modular systems which are complete compact set ups that costs ONLY about 5K. And the fact that we consider that a cheap Buchla setup says a lot

Watched it on Netflix the other day. Now I want to go modular.

Yeah, it happens. I saw it on netflix around four months ago, now I'm $1500 or so into eurorack, with what amounts to about a half-done 9u system, in it's current state. The initial sales & flips push is over, now it will be slower going. I don't have a set stopping point, since new releases and purchases tend to change the plan now and then.
Gas is gas...it's just like when pedals were fresh and new and the coolest thing ever. New is nice. Boutique synth is just as diverse as pedals & amps, plenty of luxury and innovation to mix and match. Approaching it like a pedalboard is easy, and shopping leads to learning, so no one should be intimidated by a lack of synthesis skills or knowledge. The knowledge comes when you read about the products and what they do, watch the videos, read the threads, etc. There's only so much of it, and it's not any harder to keep track of. If you love making noises with knobs and sliders and buttons and joysticks, you're going to love eurorack.
