I wanted to share a little bit about my modular synth setup as I've gotten a few questions on how it's all put together.
It also finally feels like it's in a stable healthy space that's been unchanged for several months now (aside from the occasional voice swap).
So let's dig in!
There is no special sauce or secret, the core ideas come from Colin Benders.
At a minimum you need a bassline, freaky noises and some drums (at least for an acid techno set which is my main go to), or even simpler, 2 voices and some drums.
My only expanse on this idea is I wanted a small sampler for fun vocal stabs. From there we have the 2 voices and the sampler pan-mixed into a complex reverb.
Currently for effects it's Bopp & Steve from This Is Not Rocket Science or Sealegs from Intellijel and the voices are a rotating cast of characters.
The main 4 being Tonestar 8106 from Studio Electronics, Synthesizer Block from Pittsburgh, Atlantix from Intellijel and Geometric Anomaly from This Is Not Rocket Science. 2 of the above voices are routed together with the TipTop One sampler into a small panning mixer from Bear Electronics.
Now on to the drums. I keep it even more simple here, it's a 6m0d6 from Tubbutec (black faceplate by the way 8) ) into Hue from ModBap Modular. That's it!
The two seperate lanes of music then get routed to a simple stereo mixer also from Bear Electronics and out to the Intellijel 7U case jacks.
The whole shebang is sequenced by the Droid ecosystem from Der Mann mit der Maschine. The sequencing will be another post all together since this is already kinda going a bit long.
The elevator pitch for the situation though, is that the voices and sampler are controlled by CV and the 6m0d6 and Bopp and Steve are Midi! The droid ecosystem has some seriously compact sequencing with the master18. I use a modified patch from the Moto Kit that they have on their website.
Mainly creating this as a place to post about my modular system.
It's easier than creating a video for the content machine.
