I have one of these and I really like using it to tweak sounds but I’ve never heard anyone do a demo where they gave a musical example how we can make a music more compelling
Interesting--there's something I don't like about the sound of it due to being digital probably, but the way the morphing is changing the harmonics, it's almost like having a fixed filter bank where the size and amount of the filters can change? Something like that. Always really enjoy your demos, highly logical! I have a Erica wavetable Vco on the way--looking forward to having it morph through my ADDAC 601 with lots of different cv over the internal VCAs on each filter and achieving something in this vein.
I've been questioning myself about what I'm actually hearing and what I'm assigning it to. When I use a typical filter emulation like the Pole 1-7 patch demonstrated second in the video, it sounds like a clean, normal filter. When I use one of the presets that has a lot of pronounced notches and peaks (the varying "fixed" filter bank effect you describe), my ears say "that's not normal" to which my brain initially reply "that must be digital" - but I wonder if it's just the unusualness of hearing a varying filter bank. Thanks for the kind words on the videos, and let me know how the Erica Wavetable + ADDAC 601 experiment works. I've heard good things about the Erica, and had considered the 601 before I got a 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator...and a Verbos Bark Filter...and now an E-mu Morpheus (I may have a filter hoarding problem...).
Learning Modular filters are the easiest to go overboard on somehow. The 601 is awesome. I had one before and sold it because I thought at the time it was too much but it's really not of course..not as capable as the verbos bark but you can get one for about $300 less..besides that I have an AQA Dual SVF which is awesome, and the AJH Sonic XV which might be my favorite filter ever, it's just so dynamic with so much modulation possibilities and yet also sounds so rich and smooth, like everything AJH (currently Biggest share of modules by any one manufacturer, ADDAC, AQA, Verbos are runner up)
This is great. When I got mine I sat down with the preset description and wrote down a list to "drone with." I also just tried using noise as a sound source to see what the difference was. I need to try experimentimenting with the tracking set, net. Any tips for those filter types?
I did the same - set up a basic sound and went through them all, taking notes. But it's important to try envelopes and LFOs (or sliders) to all the parameters to see how they change - just changing the preset without changing the cube parameters can fool you into thinking something is boring when in fact it modulates well. (Or, maybe that it's not well-suited to being enveloped etc.)

Great demo, thanks!
Thanks for letting me know - I appreciate it.

I particularly like the wavefolder in the Sonic XV!
It's one of the best ones I've heard--it really makes you realize not all wavefolders are created equally.

Learning Modular can I see a picture of your cases?
