Muff's Modules & More

Indigo333

The KV-100 & The D-1000 have finally landed after a very long time of waiting for the funds. My other gear hates me due to abandonment and now I am running different thing thru both and learning to trigger from other machines. It was either starting a small modular rig or getting these two and I apparently made the correct decision.
Now,when I bought the KV-100 I was told I would have to adjust it or use a preamp on a mixer or feed it back into itself??? I am using groove boxes, drum machines, synths etc but not anything else modular yet besides some other filters and shit. Could anyone steer me towards options? I am not running guitars thru it or any of that so I am not very familiar with what I should do to adjust it? Thanks for all of your help, just eager to learn more we're not worthy

To the maker(s) of these yellow beasts, thank you for your sharing your crafty creations, I haven't had more than 4 hours of sleep in the past 3 days due to the generous portions of holes to stick things in hyper

Life is about to get darker and a lot more fun for you applause

I think what they (whoever told you that "tip") was trying to say was that the KV-100 is an excellent effect - send unit. basically you need to attenuate the input if you want to get the most out of it. An easy way to do that without a modular is to basically run it in an effect send type of deal with your mixer, that way you control how much of the signal goes into the input and therefore you can explore a plethora of "sweet spots"... and you can feedback the KV-100 output into itself controlling the amount through the mixer... try it, it's a lot of fun... you can also do this with any of the other inputs, my favorite is running audio through the filter input, and feeding it back into itself... if you get it just right you can get globby gooey sloppy percussive sounds out of it or even creaaamy noise drones if you crank the resonance close to the earbleed point... nice whistling drones too!! lot's of sounds in this machine, experiment and enjoy!!

Fun in the dark sounds purfect SlayerBadger!

So an attenuator would be a perfect thing to first throw in a happy ending kit when starting with eurocrack. For now I will experiment with my mixer and see what I can get out of it. Thanks for your help on this. I found some nice bubbly warm spots, whistles before it screams but that is just the 2 units alone with no "dial down" or attenuating.
I have been using some delay as well and it's getting better by the minute...thanks Lakbra...cheers...indi

make your own attenuator
it's the easiest thing to make - requires no power and doesn't need to be racked. put it in a cardboard box or cookie tin or cassette case or some crap you bought from the thrift store
a child could do it, you can too. you could even do it with alligator clips - no soldering required. http://www.doepfer.de/DIY/a100_diy.htm
is a good place to start.

Thanks RealDudes... I will look for these parts and see what I can dig up... Good to know that an attenuator doesn't need a power source also. Good looking out Guinness ftw!

Good to see another NC head on here too, best...indi

I've got one of these, from Intellijel, and as its not powered I have left it out of the rack (until my big rack arrives next week). Guinness ftw!
