Definitely dig into the other JMT offerings as well. He makes some of my favorite drone devices. Many of the synths listed here in the original post are basic square wave drone synths, which can be pretty limited in scope.

Also check out Electro Lobotomy on Etsy.

I like the list of features, appearance, and form factor. I really hope future sound demos are more impressive.

De Babalon was so far ahead of the curve, it's a shame he was never better known.

Absolutely. If You're Into It, I'm Out of It is untouchable. Almost everyone I show it to recognizes it as something great.

Not crappy by any stretch - but definitely creatively mixed.
Love this track - absolutely detonates heads on a big system:)

That's a banging track. Those blown out sections are such a cool idea.

Another artist whose rougher tracks might fit this thread:

Christoph de Babalon

Hell yeah. Tuning Circuits. That was one of the first things that came to mind. One of my favorite albums ever.

Some more crappy music, according to the terminology of this thread, that I like:

Brainbombs

Ildjarn

Wold

90s Memphis rap in general

A modern cassette recorder is a computer. I honestly have no idea why you want to use a medium those of us who had no choice were glad to see the end of, other than some kind of misplaced borrowed nostalgia. I know this won't be a popular post. Cassette quality suits some music very well. You might...

Grab an IC puller. Too much force on on a tight knob might pull the shaft out which is a major PITA. This one is fine for general work https://www.allelectronics.com/item/ex-1/dip-ic-extractor-tool/1.html Put a piece of paper on the panel if you use a lever. I still see the place where I scratched ...

Not really, just pull harder lol I’ve found the intellijel knobs harder to pull off since the knobs are very new, they get looser as you take them off regularly Use a thin piece of plastic like a bike tire lever to get under and lift. Thanks to both of you. I'll try pulling harder, and if that does...

I would like to swap out all the knobs in my little 6U system for Davies 1900H style knobs. With my Intellijel modules (Atlantis, uVCA II, and uMod II) none of the knobs are coming loose from a moderate pull upwards. Is there a trick to getting these knobs off safely?

The Waldorf 2-Pole desktop filter/distortion box is a good affordable option. I got one for $170 a while back, but I think they may be discontinued and more expensive now.

The MS-20 external signal processor and the Sherman Filterbank 2 are my favorites for this task though.

Ladik A-525 might do the trick.

A lot of the sounds in that track remind me of the Noise Engineering stuff, particularly BIA and Loquelic Iteritas (or LIP). Those two (maybe a couple BIAs actually) plus some Tip Top 909 modules and a flexible effects module like the FX Aid XL (CV control of FX could be handy for this style) would ...

Serge drone, also ran out of patch cables...

That's a wicked one. I really like those feedbacky overtones. What were the key features of this patch?

Thanks for the input everybody. I'll avoid sending signal to devices that are powered down. This question came to mind when I had my Sherman Filterbank plugged into some other stuff that was turned off. Nothing was patched to the input of the Filterbank, and the most recent version of the FB produce...

Trying to get caught up on my thread... Perhaps you want Metgumbnerbone :despair: : I had trouble getting into this one, but I may try again another time. I did like the Blue Sabbath Black Cheer track you linked. It was more noise/death industrial than what I'm looking for here, but I like those gen...

Would you be open to a trade for 2 mules and my daughter's hand in marriage?

I’ve got a WMD micro hadron collider that really screams when you give it the resonance, but I wish I could find the expanders. I’d read on a forum a million years ago that its filter topology is somewhat similar. But nothing really has that Sherman sound. I have the Sherman and used to have the Ha...

They're really solid plugins. Great reliable sound, and an easy interface. Decapitator and Echo Boy are my favorites. No buyer's remorse over here.

I used to have a Dark Energy mk I, and it had a distinct vibe that I quite miss sometimes. It’s not very modular, but if you want a basic synth voice with its own sound and some good audio-rate mod options, it’s absolutely worth it.

Yes it can cause damage it according to this recent thread and is not recommended. https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=237412 Thanks for pointing that thread out. It does make sense that damage would be possible since the power supply is what decides the range of acceptable volta...

This is a question I have wondered for a while, and I haven't been able to find an answer. I have some drone devices with no power switch that are blasting the input of whatever they're connected to as soon as they're turned on. Could that potentially cause damage to the device(s) downstream? I figu...

A simple boost pedal seems like it could work, and that sure would be convenient. Has anyone here actually tried this? I'm not sure whether to take these responses as "This should work" or "I've tried this and it does work." It won't make much difference without coloring the sound and even then it ...

I don't have room to add an input module to my rack right now.

Is there a compact tabletop solution out there to boost instrument and line level audio signals to eurorack level?

I'm looking for something simple. No additional bells or whistles needed.

And. talking about Schloss Tegal, fuck I love this album!:

This is one is so good. Schloss Tegal seems particularly underrated.

All of your recommendations have been exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot.
