Remember that guy on the old forum who thought I was a noob ātelling me offā for saying you should go microtonal?
It was interesting, maybe good for someone starting to explore microtonality. It gets me that he doesnāt mention any of the Western instruments that can achieve microtonality like trombones, violins, cellos, upright bass, and fretless electric bass. Sure, most people that play them in the West use Western scales but you are not limited to that.
I should also point out the Buchla synthesizerās touch strip and any other touch strip synth. Buchla wanted to get away from being confined to Western tuning.
Saw his lordship Dave Smith talking about Buchla, he was like Moog and Buchla were basically neck and neck, and Buchla went with a finger board, and Moog went with keys, and Moog crushed Buchla.
But fuck that, I want a finger board, somewhat like animoog, lolzers.
+piano keys are super racist
Sometimes, hubb, youāre so anti racist that youāre actually a little racist.
no doubt about that
same with sexism
whatās a good way to get into the modular/generative game? stuff to do with generating algorithms for music
Peep untoldās RBMA, he chats about this stuff.
Itās too expensive in the first place to get you far enough āremovedā (removed in the positive sense) from the spot where just one sick additive synth could take you. Basicly what Iāve seen happen to people that get that bug (every fucking time), is that they tend to even forget about the music and the production itself - just because itās that awesome. Like the gardening of sounds. Damn Tamagotchi ass bitches 
Still, a bit like that film where those two lads build that hot robot chick.
But what a hobby it could beā¦ daaaamn.
I think a sherman filter bank and a good synth is maybe not enough but very deeeeeeeeeep still in comparitive terms.
Iāll have to check that filterbank. Currently on the classic PSP Nitro, got some crazy ideas but iād like to vary it some more
They make so much of a difference, filters are probably my favourite tool along with reverb
Iām desperate for a good vst filter.
Will probably go for this when I find $50 in the street.
Iāve got some stuff to say about hubby, in contradiction, of course. Hubb and I morphing into polar opposites. I may have to release my north pole death metal assassins.
talking specifically about modular obsession
and not just hardware obsession
i see all the promise and potential it holds and im envious
but imo thereās an all-encompassing stamp collector obsessive side to dealing with modular synths and that
Untold mentions a guy who makes them, you could just buy one and switch a few parts in/out as issues come up. I feel like it can be as practical as your approach to it. If you just dive in and buy all the modules, then yeah, have fun with your thousand dollar stamp collection innit lol.
prefer the spelling pyjamas if iām honest
Going down the semi-modular route right now. I have a Korg MS-20mini arriving tomorrow. With that plus the SQ-1 and the MicroBrute, Iāll have a small semi-modular setup. With the MicroBrute, that will give me a Steiner-Parker filter, another oscillator, envelope and another step-sequencer. I canāt wait to hear what kind of craziness ensues.
Im talking this stuff tbf
I know what you are talking about. Semi-Modulars will interface with those with cv/gate. It is one step closer to going down the rabbit hole.
