Performance Finished up a new case made of walnut and curly maple. Doesn't quite fit all my modules yet so it'll have to hold me over until I build a bigger one.

Performance Asterisk* / Workshop Computer + Eurorack jam

On the workshop system, saved Asterisk pattern plays alongside its own twisted copy in Morphagene, sequenced by Trails and processed through Mimeophon.

Asterisk’s CV outputs also trigger and pitch-modulate Battering Ram, whose envelope ducks the sampled layer.

Full jam + patch notes on YouTube :

Beginner Make Noise Easel vs modular

9 Upvotes

Hey guys and gals, for the past few weeks I've been getting back into synthesis. I dabbled in it a few years ago with a 0-COAST and a SQ1 but had to sell both for the money. Now that I'm comfortable I bought an old mixer, cheap pedals and have been making no-input mixing shenanigans.

Now, I want to get into the big boys court and I have some money aside. I'm torn between getting the Make Noise Easel, so the 0-COAST, 0-CTRL and Strega, or just jumping into modular.

I'm a bassist in a punk/noisy band and LOVE noise rock, experimental techno and no wave. From what I remember and what I see online the easel seems like a complete instrument to make my own tracks. What I'm afraid of is being limited after a while after having spent 1500euro on the setup. For that price, I might as well get into modular straight up ? Or is a 1500euro modular setup too limited and I'd get myself in a money pit ?

This might be a ridiculous place to ask this and I'm sorry if it's a dumb question. Cheers 🍻

Discussion How do I get started in this direction?

This performance by Stu Mackenzie from King Gizzard is one of my favorite videos using a modular system. I love how he manages to create very coherent and musical sounds while continuously changing things, sequences and melodies.

I'm pretty new to actually using modular, but I know a lot about synthesis in general, so I was wondering about which modules or "techniques" I should look into for something similar to this?

I use VCV Rack, and I'm planning on getting some hardware, so would love recommendations for both, but mostly I'm interested in just how a setup like this is planned out, how many sequencers, how to have variation etc. It feels like there are a lot of different sequences and rhythms at the same time, which in my limited knowledge would mean a sequencer with a whole bunch of channels, or am I missing something on how to make use of less channels while still having this much variation?

It seems to me that he has a lot of VCAs at the top to use as a mixer to add and remove certain elements and uses it as a performance tool, by muting at the right time etc.

EDIT: As an aside, if someone has any tips on recreating the absolute first sound he's using, I'd love to hear it. Sounds really natural and almost acoustic

It's built for 2 hour jams (:

Discussion Recommend a reverb/FX for send bus in 6hp or less

2 Upvotes

I've got a stereo send/return bus on my eurorack mixer and I'd like to put some effects on it. I'm looking for some nice reverb at minimum, but if it could do other effects also, that would be great. Looking for stereo ins and outs and the ability to go full wet. I've got 6hp to spare before I have to start giving up other modules. I've got guitar pedals, so if anyone knows of a good, inexpensive stereo external send/return module, that would work too. Hit me with some options.

Erica Synths Black Sequencer Custom Firmware for MIDI Program Change

3 Upvotes

Someone asked if it is possible to create a custom firmware image for implementing MIDI Program Change as a custom firmware for the Erica Synths Black Sequencer. I have been doing a lot of custom firmware work recently, so I took up the project to help out a fellow redditor.

https://github.com/aleph-void/Erica-Synths-Black-Seqeuencer-Custom-MIDI-Program-Change-Firmware

The individual who asked for this firmware told me I should consider posting here about it so I am.

Instruo Cnoc power troubles

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi friends. I just got the oscillator for this setup and it has the attack on the Cnoc hanging instead of following through when I hook it all up. I'm using a 4ms Pod 64x, which puts me under half power draw for the +12v and right around half at the -12v. There are only six headers on this pod (it's an older model) so I have some 1 to 3 header splitters, but messing the groupings around didn't seem to matter. Should I try putting higher draw modules closer to the start of the supply? Is it safe to power on and then plug the rings in after, to check for the digital power on spike? Anything else?

Thanks!

First time I used a mic to route some acoustic instruments (khomus, kalimba) into the modular. Modular is mainly used as an (playable/modulated)FX . Thought it's not too bad.

Feel free to leave some feedback.

Make my Oxi one MK2 be a hardware version of Stepic.

The note entry is perfect.
The scene saving is great.
Velocity works the same.
But I’m not getting the octaves the same way.
And I want the play style / order options to be similar.
Is this possible.
And more likely, how can I achieve this with the way it’s currently setup. Just need to think of it in a different way.
