i actually don't know if i'd be into working with a modular
of that size; i haven't tried. feels like it's for people
who appreciate an idle saturday patching up some abstract
contraption rather than people who want to make tunes

i like where we're at these days, actually, i really do. i
have a moog grandmother: actual analog, 30 modular patch
points or so, but it's still a proper monosynth with all the
features, usb, its own midi. then a behringer model D as
well, i can patch their sub-bits into each other and it
gives me massively more options than if the two buggers
didn't offer all those patch points

but there's something about having a keyboard as a discrete
unit; feel like it keeps one from going off the deep end

i just started with modular, but when i look at deadmouses
stuff, he bought the most expensive, cool sounding modules
(cwejman) and hes missing on the modulation sources… it
took me the last 3 years of just informing myself about
modular, before i bought my first module

but i remember wanting to buy a doepfer A-100 system, when i
was around 19. im glad i bought an ms2000 instead

modular is great, but walls are heavy

on the other side, mouse makes lotsa money. i would
definitely buy modular instead of paying taxes

and i don't make money with my hobby

in retrospect it would have been a lot smarter to go
eurorack or something rather than just grabbing a slice of
plexiglass from the basement

i miss having a proper workshop. haven't bothered to build
anything here; too annoying and cramped. just fix stuff if i
have to

Yup, I dig this much more than modular walls

Big systems are good if:

You make whole tracks in modular, rather than as an
instrument to sample single voices into a DAW/sampler. IE
your wall of modular contains 6 different "synths", 6 drums
sound voices and a couple of sampler. It's amazing how quick
you can run out of things, even with thousands of HP, when
you're trying to do this.

Another reason is to make a synth with a very wide range of
sound palettes (cluster a load of different oscillators, a
load of different filters, a load of different VCAs, etc.)
so you can wire up something following traditional synth
architecture, but have lots of options at each stage.

Some people do it because they want a true polysynth (say,
at least four of everything, as opposed to a paraphonic).

Let's be honest, whilst I can see the appeal of small
systems for playing live, or noodling sat on the couch, or
outside operating off batteries; if we had
Deadmau5/Zimmer/Junkie XL's money, most of us would have a
chamber lined with half a million dollars' worth of modular
as well.

while i deeply appreciate the joy of patching up some idea
you've had in the shower, the idea of patching up a whole
"chamber" sounds a lot less fun. i'd rather write music.
years ago, i chatted with not breathing dave a hell of a
lot. he has walls of modular he's built himself; helped me
on mine when i was stuck over AIM. had an interesting
attitude, sort of j. g. thirlwell, he'd be all "you need to
kill someone. tonight" and i'd say why would i want
to do that, and he'd tell me to man up and build some real
modulars

anyways, even he was sequencing it all through kentons on an
MPC1000 and... wait for it... fruity studio

if i had fuck-you money, what i'd actually get is something
like a buchla, where it's proper modular but also with patch
memory and automation. otherwise, it's just like some kung
fu training shit where you repeatedly plunge your fists into
buckets of gravel

That made me chuckle, because I really did used to do Kung
Fu training where I plunged my fists into bags of gravel
(and eventually, ball bearings) and literally only
yesterday, I was looking at buying powdered glass 'blasting
media' for sand blasting and thinking, "Shiiit that'd be
some next level stuff to get used to punching".

Buchla is a weird one for me, I sort of pendulum between
really wanting a Music Easel and thinking it'd be insane to
spend that much money on one.

What happened to not breathing dave? I really liked him, he
was good at encouraging me to get into synth DIY, I wanted
to message him about a year back and tell him all the stuff
I'd made and it was all thanks for him convincing me to get
an X0X BOX. I remember him loving the MPC1000, he was a bit
JJOS advocate.

a bit JJOS advocate.


i found his site over summer break in high school in, like,
2002 or something, and after seeing all his crazy shit (his
site used to have LOADS more stuff!) i promptly went down to
the shop and cracked open a keyboard i'd had since i was
little and began trying to bend it.

i was in the habit of staying up all night a bunch, then,
and it was 5 or 6am, i had some questions, and he'd put an
AIM screen name on his site. and, go figure, he was also a
supreme night owl, often he was the only one on to chat at
4am, unless i got into the australian IRC channels

as bad as i am now, i'm sure you can imagine how obnoxious i
was when i was 17, but still he put up with me, and acted as
a sort of mentor / older brother for years.

then he had kids of his own and more or less dropped off the
radar -- quit AIM -- presumably because kids are a lot of
work. he still does gigs here and there, afaik, he's
probably on facebook, but i don't really facebook. he
co-owned a bunch of rental properties with some other lady
and he had other hobbies like the cactus rescue squad, so
he's not really depending on music i gather

i figure you could probably get him on facebook, and maybe
we'll hear from him again in a year or three, because his
kids will finally be getting old enough that he can get back
to his modulars
