      @@star.trails Feel like this is appropriate for all of modular. In the thrill of new modules we can overlook the straight-forward building blocks that make awe-inspiring ambient music. That's not to say what you have done is easy, it's an amazing beauty, feels like the skill is in the space, the gaps, the breathing.

    This is wonderful. I've been messing around with keyboard synths for 20 years, and completely fascinated with the modular world and no idea where to start. Who can I pay for comprehensive patching tutorials and synth build! Please help me get started!

      Thanks so much 🙏🙏 ​
      It can be quite intimidating at first. The best way is to always start out small, buy a few core modules and start from there. The fundamentals don't actually change from fixed architecture synths to modular synths. The same applies in modular except you connect the oscillators, envelopes, VCAs and filters with cables. ​ @Lightbath has a patreon and he does lessons. He also has a large selection on videos on his yt account. I highly recommend that you watch his ‘Joy of Patching’ videos. Part 1: th-cam.com/video/mKT5MAW1RlA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ae_6Y9ar8kPnQ1di

    Can you explain what's going on between Tides and Marbles? Is there a feedback loop happening?

    • @star.trails
      @star.trails  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The t2 output on Marbles is the clock output which is going into Tides clock input giving me a tempo lock between both modules. Tides is modulating the bias input on Marbles which is skewing the distribution towards low/high voltages over time with a slow sine wave. This affects the quantised note spread (higher/lower) coming out of x2. The rest of Tides outputs are modulating Clouds and Morphagene. Marble x2 is sending pitched CV to Rings.

      how long did it take you to set up all the patches? How long did it take you to learn how to do it? I’d like a nice basic ambient setup like this for my plant room, but I don’t have the time to invest in learning because I have special needs children and also a full time job. Im so sorry to say, I’m so boujee (busy?) that I would love to just buy a full stack like this that’s been set up by a passionate creator and be able to ask questions here and there. Any suggestions for busy mom like me? @@star.trails

    Nice work! What’s the module you have directly beside Clouds and how is it affecting your patch?

    • @star.trails
      @star.trails  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      thank you. that module beside Clouds is a Mutable Instruments clone of Tides (v2). It's from Michigan Synthworks and is a 8hp uTides. It's sending CV to density and position. CV into pos chooses the segment of the recording buffer from which the audio grains will be played. CV into density affects the grain density. In this case I'm sending a slowish sine wave to change the grain overlap.

    • @star.trails
      @star.trails  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've actually moved to a bigger case now (Structure 420 Case). I used this case for a short period because the Make Noise case was under powered and I couldn't house the modules I wanted without power issues. The make noise case is now redundant and will be sold soon. This intellijel case now houses my Buchla 200t modules.

    • @star.trails
      @star.trails  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have frozen the buffer. There is a 4 second granulised sample playing back (audio quality: 16kHz 8-bit µ-law stereo 4s). uTides is modulating the CV inputs of position and density. The buffer contains audio from Rings. Since I'm using rings as the main voice I've unpatched it from clouds to send directly into the Mimeophon (via veils for some attenuation). I'm operating Clouds in Granular processor mode (normal operation)

      Not necessarily. I'm using jitter to create randomness for clock timing. I'm also sending a random envelope to the bias input to bias the decision of the voltage range. Marbles acts a random generator without the t and X engaged.
