Well I've never sold a module and I am building it up over years. It's always finished.

My hero!

Intellijel filters (Dixon designs) are lovely with chords, you can really tame the input for a nice clean sound if desired and flatter curves like 6 dB per octave works nicely for spread out voicings. Another interesting one is Doepfer A-107. Lots of different filter types, just need to tame the inp...

Wavefolding is an obvious one but I also like to fool around with env follower/filter chains. 4MS SMR is perfect for this, you can derive gates and envelopes from complex audio material.

Hey, I have one of these, built by someone else with Clarke panel. Channels 2,3,4 work great but channel one has almost no range of modulation and distorts almosts instantly at the audio in? The blue trimmers on the back don't seem to do much? Any ideas? Thanks Dcramer Ha! :miley: Years later, afte...

I think the a-134 only fries chips when you put in a negative rail without a positive one. Like when you turn on or off the case and the supplies go up or down at different rates. In other words, sometimes, every time you turn on or off the case. :bang: I have only ever used any of these for auto p...

This really does sound like a logic module or patch should work: Mult a snare trigger signal to a logic module along with the kick drum trigger signal. The output of the logic module now triggers the kick drum. Set the logic module to mute the output when the snare is high, I’m thinking maybe a NAND...

Hey thanks, yup, I’ll see if I can find somewhere to stash an audio only version for easier streaming

Lol, yeah I remember thinking about that PBR mug when I grabbed it! I played a big band gig with a trumpet player last yeR and he had a trunk full of those mugs so we all got em

Cool vid, I just got one of these a few weeks ago and am still exploring it. Most of what I know comes from this thread: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=144678&p=1980913&hilit=Horstronic+waveslicer#p1980913 It’s very cool but tricky to setup, seems to focus on comparator/Pwm s...

Imma too dumb to understand how to build anything but I do know that a passive ‘OR Combiner’ Can be wired up, I’m thinking maybe with Diodes? but like I said... dumb!

My silver panel version tracks fine when patched into the 1v/oct input and I usually have the X-Tune and Lfrq knobs in about the 1 o’clock position.
My only gripe is the lack of fine tuning, which is why I tend to use both knobs.

Yup, still a great synth and some good prices to be had in the used market. I bought a white desktop as I really needed a small poly for a project and liked the form factor.
My only gripe is the dated sounding reverb algorithms

Yes and there’s the travel size consideration, certain Mantis sized designs are about as big as you can go for Carry-On.
Or at least that was the case before the ‘bugopolypse’

:guinness: A little Droney jam I did for the BEAMS western Canada Drone Day last night. Ran around gulping gin and changing scenes between noodles. There's an interesting Drone thingy going on where I use three Doepfer Theremin controllers to modulate a Doepfer A-107 multimode filter and a Doepfer V...

Something I like to do with Frames is set the big knob and each channel control to center, run some major CV paths through the channels, and then build the rest of the patch without touching it at all. Then, once I have the patch sounding interesting, I add some frames and mess with the VCA's to se...

Lots of good advice here. My two cents is this: Think about modular as being “what it does” more so than “what it sounds like”. In other words, with normal synths most of the juicy stuff is hidden away under the hood and the sound shaping parameters are what you get access to. In modular, everything...

You're handling your confinement masterfully ! (You had a european tour lined up if I remember correctly ? :cry: ) Yeah, as I work on it some more I’ll put up some info on how it’s patched. :despair: Yup, sadly this is the week I was scheduled to fly into Estonia with a portable version of my Sky W...

Are you sure that you are not waving your hands around while playing a pre-recorded song, I mean that sounds way too musical for it to be happening that way. Kudos Lol, I know! When I first saw the footage that’s exactly what I thought! :hihi: But when I’m playing it, it’s very responsive, you can ...

In an effort to completely distance myself from everything I’ve had to resort to creating a patch that I can play without having to touch my modular. :cloud: This way I’m completely safe from every possible calamity except maybe looking like an idiot while churning out dreaded burst music :lol: The ...

Really cool, plus Powell’s hair!

ZOMG! OS saw my message! (Enjoyed you run thru with Sonicstate!) My usage is quite simple; when I travel with a patch, I like to be able to record performances of myself playing. At home it’s easy to patch into the daw with lots of channels but the size of the gear makes travelling with it troubleso...

Looks amazing, I wonder if all those inputs could lead to a multitrack recorder mode that streams 4-6 channels onto the card?

That wacky Doepfer bitcrusher

I was lucky enough to find an old Doepfer A-197 VU meter.
Module works fine but the lights in the VU meter stopped working.

Anybody know if this can be fixed?

After reading this thread years ago I became very interested in trying to use Chaos CV to control generative patches. I ended up collecting some of the Fritz Chaos modules and after a trip down south was inspired to create this monstrosity. This patch was never actually completed because I ran out o...
