Thank you!

MOAR NOISE

Thank you!

I love the UK. I thought it’d replace the BIA, but I’ve been layering them together, having the BIA spit out more gnarly sounds with an envelope, and the UK fills in the deep low end thump and transient. It’s so good it’s annoying, as I just get lost playing with heavy kick sounds.

Thanks! Yeah, that’s exactly what I wanted to try. I had the OXI One map the velocity to a CV out and plugged that into the Plasma Voice MultiCV. That way I could play with jumping to specific sounds (more or less - it was fun finding what sound and note went well together).

Haha, well now I better get on it!

10/10, would recommend :)

I call the Lyra "sickly 1950's soviet hospital green", and I adore it. I was debating between the orange and black Pulsar, and saw the army green and though THAT'S THE ONE. The only problem with the green Pulsar is the knobs - they're more solid plastic ones, but the gap between the metal and the underside of the knob is _just the right size_ for the alligator clip wires to get stuck under. Gotta be a little gentle remove them, lest one pulls a knob off.

​@aftxrindustrialmusic and I find this comment the day after I just ordered Army Green 😂 It's definitely the best colour though and I prefer this style of knob.

Oh yes! This is fixed! And promptly too!

yeah, I'm pretty sure, but let me give it a go and get back to you. Pulsar operates at 0-10v, and eurorack tends to be more the 5v range, so while I've sequenced the pulsar from CV, the triggers aren't as loud. I keep meaning to go back and figure that out.

I often describe the music I make as a broken dryer having sex with an angry refrigerator. So, yup :) More seriously, though, there's a few things to it. It's absolutely possible to find a couple of basic samples and a cheap distortion plugin and produce some noise. Why the big ol' expensive rig? First, because it's my toy and I'm lucky enough to be able to put my money towards that. I wouldn't recommend this approach as the only way. I've seen a ton of people with far less do far more. I'm not a modular expert, nor am I a snob about music production. I'm just an artist using the tools I enjoy. Second, the _mechanics_ of how one makes art almost always intimately influences the art being made. Oil paint and turpentine have an impact in the marks being made compared to a digital brush. Neither is superior, both _could_ produce the same finished painting, but the physical and emotional feedback of the material most certainly has an impact on the artist, and often times it's not about so much about the artists' tools as much as the artists' vision with those tools. Third, I'm using like 10% of my rig for any given track. I'm still tinkering more than producing a finished product with these videos. My album releases are far more carefully arranged and produced - and also mostly digital/VST using Maschine. The modular gear was my attempt not to get anything specific out of modular, but to obliterate my habits using the digital mechanics to create music and move to something that challenges me with constant-modulating noise-making possibilities. To that end, it's been worth it, because it _has_ challenged me. I don't measure my "success" with modular by the tracks I produce here on TH-cam, I'm measuring it by how much it's pushed me to have to re-think my approach to the music I make and where I want to go next. And thanks for the thumbs up!
