Well I went for the KARP Odyssey  , a used LE Mark II keyboard instead of a module. Now when I suck I don't have any excuses because the Odyssey has been used to good effect in just about every genre of music that uses synths.

sliderule posted:Mutable Kinks doesn't look attractive to me: what can I do with it that I wouldn't do with a Disting, and how often would I do them? A couple things I like to do with Kinks is half- or full-wave rectify a signal, then add a DC offset, which changes the timbre in a PWM-like fashion. The S&H also works well into the audio range, so you can get some weirdass analog bitcrushing by triggering it via an audio-rate oscillator. But honestly I imagine shapeshifter covers ground like this already.

The shifty has the analog logic type stuff built in with the combination modes. You can sub an external signal for one of the oscs with those, but not both. A caveat there is that the Mod A input you use for that is AC-coupled and you only get one logic mode at a time, which limits some of the techniques that you can do with dedicated analog logic sections on other modules. No direct equivalent to S&H or rectification, though you can patch half-wave for anything easily with most VCAs + a DC source, and I guess you can probably patch something similar to fullwave with the shifty's pulse out in +o1, +o2, or -o2 modes, a ring mod, and an inverter or two. The shifty has no shortage of ways to gently caress with the sound though. It does an okay job of focusing on stuff that you can't really patch with other modules (and would be even better if they had really committed to that direction I think, but again IMO it's also one of if not the best oscillator in Eurorack already, so talk about pointless bitching). The first three utilities I'd put in almost any rack would be any attenuverting mixer type module, Function, and Cold Mac, but of course this is far from the only valid way to do it, just my preference. A lot of that kind of thing depends on how you want to go about avoiding overlapping functionality (or intentionally overlapping stuff you want doubles of). breaks fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Dec 15, 2016 |

A lot of that kind of thing depends on how you want to go about avoiding overlapping functionality (or intentionally overlapping stuff you want doubles of). I liked everything about Cold Mac until I realized that the inputs were AC coupled. It's a dense module for certain, but as you mention the Shapeshifter can already do some of those things in a more limited fashion. My real focus for this rack is to have sufficient scope of timbre with lots of timbre, pan, and filter modulation potential from dynamic sequence/function generation. I'm hoping that I get the timbres I want between Shapeshifter, Clouds, and Morpheus without further waveshaping / distortion, leaving a lot of space for CV generation / mangling. Here's an option based on recent changes: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/376303 Notable changes: dropped the scope, added a Triatt and Kinks, which I can appreciate at 4hp. Also I found Pamela's Workout to be an interesting complement to teletype. I understand that a lot of that could be done with teletype's metro script, but I appreciate having tactile control as opposed to entering data via keyboard. Also the script couldn't do quite as much as 8 independently timed triggers.

Note that there's a new Pamela's in the works with a better display and the ability to use the outputs as tempo-synced LFOs. Which is great -- I love my Pam's but I rarely use more than four triggers or so at once.

Cool. Not sure if I'll wait for the new one. The system doesn't *need* the clocking, so I can go without. I guess I'll just wire up some buttons to +5v for manual momentary gating/triggering for now. I'm kind of surprised there's not any compact momentary gate button arrays available. Oh well, it's easy enough to build.

mrbradlymrmartin posted:triatt mixes just like shades, youre just paying The B output on shades is normalled to A+B, and breaking the normal pulls A+B out of the C mix. The B output on Triatt is normalled to the B input and breaking the normal only pulls B out of the C mix. Shades can operate in 4 modes: 1. 3 independent attenuverters 2. A + B + C mixer 3. A + B mixer with C attenuverter 4. B + C mixer with A attenuverter Triatt can operate in 4 modes: 1. 3 independent attenuverters 2. A + B + C mixer 3. A + C mixer with B attenuverter 4. B + C mixer with A attenuverter So despite the different normal configuration, it produces effectively the same number and type of options. The only difference is that B will always be in the mix on Shades and C will always be in the mix on Triatt. Huh. Thanks for pointing that out! Triatt it is!

I got the Mutable Instruments Grids for Christmas, and I like it a lot. The ability to slowly drift between different drumlines is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for, my stuff would be too monotonous. It's great with Tiptop's 808 stuff, I've got the bass drum and snare drum. Of course now it means the next module I need is hi-hats. Luckily the Peaks can fill in for hats right now. I now want something like the Grids for basslines. I'm tempted to try and build something driven off a Raspberry Pi.

There's the Zillion, kin to Turing, a little too closely imo, being monophonic. squarp does euclidian and is a great little box in any case. If you've got a mac kicking around M (opcode, now again cycling74) is great for generative stuff. I'm sure there's a million workalikes on tablets now. I'd hope anyway.

Couldn't resist picking up one of the Roland A-01Ks they're blowing out. It's p deece. The little monosynth in the low registers is more than I expected, though I really got it for the connectivity. BT synced right up to my iPad, no perceivable lag in animoog, sunrizer. CV worked out of the box for my eurojunk. You can drive the internal synth from kb, sequencer or specified midi channel. Not a whole hell of a lot of customizing other than that. Sequencer is simple but quick to use. It does have some novel features like odd or even step, odd then even, etc. Figure if it sucked I'd use the keyboard dock for the JU module but it's definitely going to end up being what I grab for jams when I'm too lazy to haul a bunch of crap.

It seems like he gets really nervy on cameara, there's a bit of misclicking happening on stuff he 100% knows how to do. Kinda wish it went into more depth with his modular rig, but it's so comically outside the realm of attainability for most people I can see why it's brief.

Are you guys in the MasterClass? What do you think so far? I think my expectations were too high going into it, because $90 really isn't that much money and I think the content in all is worth about that. I certainly learned some really valuable things as a more beginner/intermediate producer.

I think it's really good, very interesting to see the workflow etc, but really could've used more indepth stuff track-building rather than the loose interview format. A lot of it was fascinating, but unless you have a $5m live rig and a $3m studio it kinda doesn't apply. I'd recommend it and probably go in for a second class if it looked to have a bit more actual production in it.

I heard that in an interview he talked about not going as in depth on some things as he would have liked and was considering doing a second MasterClass for more advanced users. I can't find the interview though but that would be cool and I'll keep my fingers crossed. I really liked his workflow approach since it was something much different than what I have been doing, but it completely made sense. I don't know if I would recommend the course for advanced users as most of the stuff wouldn't be new. Unless you love deadmau5 and then it's probably worth it for anyone.
