Why do you allow Trump to fuck her so hard? I guess you kinda like Trump, which is refreshing here I suppose.
What are your views on Putin? I’d love to see what you could do with him.
I’m not derailing your thread am I? After all this is a thread about knobs.

Found it on 4chan, actually stopped going there now. Resized it using photoshop 7.0. It just made me lol out loud. Putin is the last remaining Christian leader in the world who hasn't been compromised. He cleaned things up in Syria. He's smart and so on. In the end I think the Jews will win against him. I think Judaism is probably the true religion in the world. But I think Putin will have a place in heaven, he's a deeply religious man supposedly. I don't believe he poisoned those two people or crashed the Malaysian aircraft.

I've got a modular grid account, but no modular system. I'd love to build one, but then again I also value having a car and the monthly payment is the same. =/

i built my own modular for very little using an old test equipment case and a slab of plexiglass. i think i did the ASM-1 VCOs, a pair of 'em, a couple VCAs probably off MFOS, ken stone's CGS clone of the steiner-parker filter, some other bits, etc. it sounds like this

Here's one I made in my Intellijel fandom using the specs of the Tiptop Mantis case. I see we're both fans of the Doepfer Wasp filter. :)

Cool, I'll check that out after work.
I'm the type who loves the fit and finish of modules from all the premium brands, even though it's kind of directly contrary to the DIY spirit of modular synthesis. Also I'm lazy.
Post a pic of your system!

Yeah, it sounds awesome though. :) These days, all of the groundbreaking stuff in modular is happening in digital, anyway. I don't know how many more analog VCF designs we're going to get or could ever need. But I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised.

If you can solder smd by hand :/ I found a guy in spain who could do it and paid him 600 euros for a bunch of modules
He did one mistake,wrong resistor on the vco pitch, but later corrected it.

I can't really see anything specific at this angle but it looks like fun. You should get that mother out and modulate some some sub bass waves to shake the dust off.

i started it in 2009; gradually added stuff over the next year or three. the earlier photo was from 2012 or so, and at that point it had all the modules it currently has. the better photos are from early 2014, when i essentially took it apart and rewired everything to me nicer.
here is a spring reverb driver with a CGS steiner-parker clone. the toggle switches on front toggle feeding the system output back into the filter inputs, strange infinite spring textures. i wrote an article on it too that no one read

I read that. I mean, just now and not in 2014. It was a nice time-killer at work.
@jtalton: Looks like a pretty killer setup. I often wonder how long it takes people to build a system of that size. I could afford to buy a new module a couple times a year, but the system doesn't get interesting (IMO) until I've got like at least 8-10 modules, so I just never take the plunge.

I think i got to that size rig in about 4 or 5 years. I have actually sold a bunch but i still have a kinda big rig (4 tta mantis). I am actually thinking about down sizing some more but some of the gear i just cant let go. It sounds too good and surprises me to this day. Modular is a lot of fun but not sure how productive musically i am with it

The Monologue? Well I know our man Richie had a hand in designing the presets/microtonal tunings that thing can do, right? But I've got so many regular (software) synths that modular is the main thing that interests me now. It seems like a fun little unit, though, the Mono.
Behringer's Neutron is a neat semi-modular synth on the cheap, if I can ever get my hands on one of those. I also find myself wanting the Moog Grandmother for the same reason, though it's 3x the price. (but also has a keyboard and those gorgeous vintage moog modular oscs).

"Modular is a lot of fun but not sure how productive musically i am with it"
That's the crux of it all, isn't it? I read variations of this comment over and over again, and if I'm honest with myself I know that a modular system will most likely only hinder my musical productivity. But I also don't care much about making finished tracks (there's too much music out there already and nobody cares to hear mine), so I'm not sure productivity even matters to me anymore. It's self-congratulatory bleeps and bloops in the bedroom that I'm after.

i think it really depends on what music you do. if you're doing significant work in software, i think a physical modular starts to be a kind of albatross. i figure things are a little better than the days of the kenton 2000, but trying to computer-sequence a modular still seems like a massive I/O headache.
it worked pretty well when i was doing everything with 24chan analogue mixer, akai mpc, and bunch old synths, though... either as glue, processing a couple things and sending it back out, or to make sounds that were difficult to generate elsewhere.... and to add a little unique touch to it, make things a little less off-the-shelf... you do not need a big modular for this.
then there's doing entire tracks on a modular, you need a big modular for that. strikes me as something you have to commit to, then either you're good at it or you aren't.

i am pretty sure he was deeply involved in the whole design; i remember him saying something like "i insisted on microtonal presets" and then this whole thing about how never leaves his synths tuned with A=440; sets it to something weird. creates a scale before writing a song. this is how things get to sound aphex-y i guess

the microtonal comment was a bit of a revelation. trying to sound aphex-y, i spend ages detuning things manually with pitch bend and porto. i've gotten pretty quick at it, but doing it with a scale from the get-go might be much quicker

Honestly though man i love modular. The only problem with it is that i want more LOL. Its expensive and there is endless possibilities with it.
I will say i didnt really respect and love it until i got a couple rows.
As far as IO its expensive but i got the nw2s::io which gives me 8in and 8 out and also got the Sync-Gen IILS to resolve timing issues and honestly now my eurorack is like a plugin if i want it to be regarding using the FX or filters as a aux etc..
I LOVE eurorack and if you can afford it and love audio for me its much more fun then using soft synths (regardless if i actually make music LOL)
