Sizone posted:Men don't wreck their modules. To be fair, in this case it sounds like the fault may be external to me. Or at the very least it fried far from the power supply, and the guy at ES remarked he's seen similar module fry on the disting before, and the common denominator was a Make Noise board. I guess that's all the excuse I need to start a new modular with a different power supply if it can be repaired...

I have a Pittsburgh case, which Control told me today tend to have poo poo power. Still, I'm under spec. Upon digging, TIL the Doepfer MIDI-CV module (A-194) takes almost 200mA of power, which is about 80 more than my Metasonix. That... doesn't make sense. https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/214556

Still, I'm under spec. that's a pretty absurd power requirement. does the whole system just fail tor power on, or can you narrow it down to a certain module under load?

yeah. i got my elements yesterday too and had the same reaction. spent a lot of time getting just a basic nylon guitar tone out of it, then started going nuts with percussive wood blocks and sheet metal being hit with hammers. then i patched some other sound sources into the teal EXT IN (the one that skips the exciter and goes straight into the resonator) and  also you should look into getting a Clouds. Clouds/Elements is a great combo.

I'm working on mounting my microbrute, volcas, and nascent eurorack setup mounted in a suitcase. I just got the power all wired up so everything is hooked into the eurorack bus, with a little transformer for the volcas. The microbrute and volcas are currently just stuck on with some dual lock, but with the curve of the suitcase's lid, that proved to be not nearly strong enough, so I'm going to have to rig up some proper brackets. The wooden rails are gross hackjobs put together in the backyard. Once I expand into a second 3U row I hope I can put something together with metal. And hopefully something height-adjustable, theres a lot more room underneath than I expected, and it would be nice to be able to close the thing patched. I'm trying to get DIY modules wherever reasonable, and even then my modulargrid wishlist is nearly full.  If I can just figure out a way to produce decent prototype panels, I'll be able to put off actually making any music for a long time.

Mr. Glass posted:neat! wouldn't it make more sense for everything to be flipped, though, with the microbrute on the bottom? it looks like it would be a pain to play in its current configuration. I was really worried about things being deep enough at first, so I wanted to have the eurorack on the bottom. That might be more of an issue once I put together some custom stuff (that'll probably just be on veroboard), but for now everything has plenty of clearance, so it does feel a little backwards. I don't really "play" the microbrute much, though, mostly just knob twiddling and transposing, so the position isn't a huge issue.

I just dropped a little live ambient jam on my soundcloud I did a few days ago with the OP-1, Ableton Live, and some guitar noodling. All the sounds are based off a little music box I sampled. I got the OP-1 pretty recently and I have to say it's so much fun to use! https://soundcloud.com/sinerider/pins

It's not doing too much heavy lifting in this track. I had a little loop set up that was supplying the background ambiance. I sampled the music box into the OP-1s sampler engine and overdubbed a few different notes of it. I had the same sample set up in Live's sampler and I triggered notes with Push while playing a bit of guitar here and there. Everything was running through a bunch of send effects to make it washy. The wobbly sound was a little max4live effect I made put on the guitar channel.

A couple days ago I finished the mix for an EDM cover of a Pinback song: https://soundcloud.com/ultimateoutsider/ultimate-outsider-penelope-pinback-cover And last night I added a feature to one of my programs that can fix a problem with missing product artwork in Maschine and Komplete Kontrol: http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/2015/10/fixing-native-instruments-product.html For my next project I'm either going to develop a new feature for that program or re-record one of my old songs from way back when all I had was a cassette deck and an Alpha Juno 1.

I've been working on getting enough health and energy so that I can actually do music-work. I want to treat the Casio VL-1 and DM-100 to good honest video reviews/articles that skip bullshit and go straight to what they sound like raw and then through effects, and for the sampler-side of the DM-100 how well it can be replicated by software or modern hardware. And then to spend a few days making patches for the VL-1 (OH YOU BETTER HABEEB IT) and sampling the hell outta it. So good and clean. Same for the DM-100 buuuuuuuut I lost gigabytes of rare, original, never shared samples and jam recordings with my backup HD so there goes .And then I want to get a portable recorder and record whatever wherever for making chilled spacy progressive poo poo with. F bad health and losing data. Had quality recordings of footsteps in snow complete with the crunchiness that makes some spines shiver. What a depressing event for an audiofan. Damnitall.

I'm still buying too much and making like 1-4 measures at a time. It's fun but I still gotta make the translation from aimless noodling to sketch to song somehow. I've also been reading the manual of the DX100, and I can say that the Reface DX has quite a bit more depth than that. No Sync on the LFO though.

Guys I have a confession... I am the non-classically trained, small-fingered jerk who keeps requesting manufacturers build their synths with mini-keys. I whole-heartedly buy and support mini-key designs. Sorry if your fat fingers can't squeeze between them... you can always just buy a MIDI controller

welp elements is probably my new favorite module. you can get really interesting results by running the output through a filter and then back into input 2 -- all sorts of crazy resonances to be found, although it can get out of hand really fast i also just picked up a mannequins three sisters filter, which seems incredibly versatile.
