Just getting into learning to make music, and have been bitten by the synthesizer bug. Keeping everything battery / usb powered, and portable. My goal is to have some instruments I can take with me when I return to work (stints away from home), or go camping, and hopefully some day I can join in on a jam with friends without falling way out of time nearly instantly, like I do when I attempt to play a djembe.

 I work away from home for extended periods and have found plugging in cables to sing the synthetic song of forbidden love between a pipe organ, lead metal guitar, and bagpipes to be my zen.

havelock posted:How are you synthetically bagpiping? Horribly, tbh. It was more my way of saying that the sounds coming out of this are cacaphonous and screaming. Also some really nice driving bass thumps from the neutron. The volca modular has a very metallic reverb, and when fed screeching FM, it can get bagpipesque. I should disclose that I'm still in my first year or so of doing anything with an instrument since an aborted attempt at self learning bass guitar in my youth. petit choux posted:You may share your music.

CatBlack posted:Yes, the sequencer will sequence the crave without any patching. It has gate and keyboard CV out on the patch bay and hooking that up to something else will send a copy of the sequence. That looks to be a lot of fun.

Coolnezzz posted:Hooray for disposable income! Ooooh. You got the pretty white microfreak! I recently picked up the regular colour one. Also a synth rookie here, with a handful of months headstart. What you shared about your thoughts feels very familiar. It is overwhelming to see just how much I have to learn before I could confidently say I'm a novice. It's also exciting to see the wealth of available sources to learn from. Still not making what I would call music, but having piles of fun experimenting and learning through trying.

 Some new pedals for me. Couple delays, multi modulation pedal, an envelope filter, and an overdrive. The memory boy and qtron both have send and return of their own, so I've been having lots of fun trying out different permutations. More patching! Oh, and I fortunately thought to get a new power supply for the pedals. Bit surprised to see the Qtron takes 24V.

It's a great addition. I wanted another filter without having to dive into eurorack, and I got the version with its own send and return for maximum patching possibilities. Nesting fx within fx for fun. I don't have a regular guitar though. I've been using these for synths and I did try running a bass guitar through them for shits and giggles.

 Whilst engaging in some late night reverb therapy, I found a nicely priced mint used minilogue xd. The shipping was listed at quite a steep bit of money, but I figured securely shipping a fairly big keyboard would not be cheap. Just as I was attempting to justify the shipping cost to myself, I noticed the seller was local to me! Synth deal at the local Starbucks saved me 30% off retail.

A package arrived from a goon yesterday, containing a volca modular, keys, and mixer. It also came with a ripcord, usb battery bank, and little 2 volca wood stand. Well, I had to fire up the modular with the one I already had, and see about patching the other little mini cable synth I have (Bastl Kastle). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWyF1B59Vsc

I'm a guitar dummy. Did you get those guitar sounds, just with the amp? I mean, with a guitar just plugged in, without any effects? Does it basically have a monster overdrive circuit built in?

new case and a rando assortment of modules. This isn't their forever home, but it's available space at the moment until more rack room arrives, and I stop realising I'm missing some vital component, like envelopes.  And since I've been using it with other gear, I thought I should see if I can make anything with the little box on its own. https://soundcloud.com/beer-chiller/mini-case-jam

JamesKPolk posted:that was a lot more tonal than I expected looking at the case! what did you use for the bass and lead (I assume to feed the comb on the latter)? It's basically 2 voices in 2 parallel channels. Melody from the self oscillating filter/vca, split to go dry and through the comb filter, then into the mixer. The drum module does the same kind of thing. One dry signal, one through the bit crusher/slicer. I used the Turing machine for a sequence, and just a couple pulses from the gate output on dystopia to set the clock divider running, and euclid for rhythm.

Dang those drums look sweet. Just checking out a youtube review. Here's my eurorack stuff.  Decided to buy some stuff, then realised I wanted some other stuff, then realised I needed more space, then ooh look at that shiny module, then needed more space. I have enough for a couple voices, and a percussion section. That should do me for now. Except cables. That's almost every cable I own, and I ran out of mults before I was really finished with the patch. I should also probably get a buffered mult. But that's it, no more. honest. Anyhow, here's what I recorded of messing around to try it all together https://soundcloud.com/beer-chiller/all-the-cables
