 | Mutable Instruments Classics Series by ALA – My Design... 
 instead of posting to xlt, you could have designed a
 collection of modulars

 | anyone who buys modular or even hardware gear these days is a fucking mug with too much money, and they usually do jack
 shit with it anyway
 
 i can spend £200 on a laptop from argos and not even used
 kracked software and still do literally 100x whatever these
 stupid fucking modular things do
 
 come at me, i bet you won't because you know it's true

 | there is no way anyone in their right mind would pay for modular shit unless they are trying to impress people by how
 much cash they have to drop on it

 | did you know that tape splices do not sound like the same thing done in software?
 yeah fair enough, you could also extend the analogy to film
 if u wanted (anyone watch Doc Martin?) but an oscillator is
 (usually) an oscillator and and env is (definitely) an env,
 and you can fit a lot more of those into a laptop than a
 modular rig.... it's a waste of space and electricity, but
 none of the guardian readers seem to be too much interested
 in that.

 | these nerds plugging shit into other shit 
 or somethings plugging shit into the same shit?!?
 
 actually it sounds pretty good, more rich and resonant than
 software. even though I only use software myself, I disagree
 with Mr. Mcqueens.

 | i shook richard devine's hand after a show and told him that his snares specifically sounded sick in that set
 
 he said, and I'll never forget this:
 
 "thanks. they're modular."

 | there are things you can't do with a computer that you can with hardware and vice versa. i'm not talking about the rack
 in the video. do what a serge system can do with your
 computer i dare you "i don't really cause you can't"

 | everyone knows you just need a laptop to make decent electronic music
 
 delia derbyshire used tape but she also used valve
 oscillators and filters, valves will probably make a
 comeback soon, metasonix and various other companies are
 making valve synths...
 
 if you want to remake drukqs or the tuss then a laptop will
 do, if you want to make breakcore a laptop will do.
 
 but i dont want my music to sound complicated like the tuss
 or drukqs. and if i want to use hardware then i will, and if
 i want to make shit fart noises i will. for now. :-D

 | i don't disagree with steve, but i just like to watch these kinds of videos
 
 i don't have modular synths. i have some stuff, for fun and
 admittedly decoration (some behringer stuff and
 this thing)
 
 people i respect say that the synths are mostly just for
 workflow purposes, not, or hardly, the sound

 | there's also synths like this, digitally recreating analogue stuff. maybe steve can appreciate this
