Mega Formant Modular Synthesizer

[frozinarosie]

I feel very small.

[slowADSR]

Formant-Systeme können so groß sein wie sie wollen, sie klingen immer ärmlich.

[mohnrecords]

An ipad can do all this!

[MrMargaretScratcher]

@mohnrecords And then to share your music you just connect it via USB to ... Oh ....

[samuraipizzacat29]

@mohnrecords I love my ipad, yet you have no idea what you're talking about.....

[gxlxs]

@mohnrecords no. no, it cannot.

[KorgAddict1]

@snoozstyle ya build em with blood, sweat, and tears! And they run on dreams and imagination.

[nargargole]

Amazing - sounds like Coldwater Canyon by Tangerine Dream, live in the USA LP 1977; or even Statosfear LP; they had a terrible time lugging all their gear about, though! But not as bad as their Australian Tour of 1975, I think it was! Where their LP Rubicon went gold.

Laptops just arn't as sexy, that's for sure - just easier on the bicepts.

[oryjen]

All that for this?...

[metabog]

Sounds great.

[chrishooper68]

well at least we know it's in C minor :-p

[cypress765]

hmm... reminds me of metroid prime music.

but thats a huge fkin modular system...

[FlametopFred]

i had a formant for a while and it was quite distinctive. Nice synth. Very nice.

[Reddigitalmusic]

How many voices? 200? What a beast!

[snoozstyle]

where do you get these machines?

[CoolColJ]

@snoozstyle

Nigeria

[markusmala]

Nice impro, but this just show a very tiny potential of this huge modular system, I would be happy to hear more of all these moduls, they probably deserve it...

[tapewolf]

Sweet. I always wanted to build one of those... Anyway, looking at the original plans, you seem to have an extra set of patch sockets at the top of each VCO. What are those for?

[electric0adam]

What is this for other than sheer WIN and LULZ?

[tomabeman]

@electric0adam What do you mean? I can`t understand this :-(

[electric0adam]

@tomabeman What do you use it for apart from laughs like this lol :D

[31Orcas]

@tomabeman Er sagt: "Ist es sinnvoll, etwas zu haben, dass verrückt?"

Ich benutzte einen Übersetzer ... so ich entschuldige mich, wenn es sich merkwürdig anhört.

[lejwocky]

@tomabeman Did you just build the synth for fun, or is it part of a larger project?

[ProjektU9]

Hallo Tomas..

Woww was für ne tolle seq..klasse..

Wobei mir das irgendtwie bekannt vorkommt.

Weiss nur noch nicht woher ^^

dir ne schöne creative woche.

gruss andy

[toranamunter]

it certainly looks very impressive, but how much of it is being used? I mean, this is a very simple sound. Most of this beast must be unpatched, it doesn't take a modular that big to make this little sound.

[squamam]

woooooow man.

formant ist great !!

[Rogreslief]

Veeeeeery awesome synth.

It's not Siggi (Icelander) that also lives in Scotland right?

[GiggityGiggityGoo0o0]

Frickin Sweet

[electro257]

how many VCO's has the thing got??

[syzygywell]

how can you not shut out the lights and just go on a journey into the past and into space with this.. awesome. i only wish the sound on it were a lot better.

[waveterm]

Is that a Roland CSQ sequencer built into the keyboardcontroller ?

[tomabeman]

Yes, it is :-)

[rjy8960]

Amazing system and a wonderful sound. Thanks for sharing :)

[ajantred]

Sweet! I love modular systems. Sounds really cool. 5*

[JohnLRice]

I like it! :-)

[Synthiefrau]

Hi, ich hab jetzt auch ein kleines nettes Formant Systemchen, der mich soundmäßig total überrascht hat. Ein nettes Kerlchen, den ich gleich in mein Herz geschlossen habe.

[adrifromhh]

woher?

lohnt es sich heutzutage immernoch so ein ding selber zu bauen?

[DayflightTrok]

Wall of knobs....a real fanatic man called Siggi.

[goblindigital2]

Fantastic machines!

...and fantastic sounds!

5 stars!

[WattSekunde]

Very Cool. Who is Siggi? ;-)

PS: Hast Du schon ein kleineres Netzteil fürs "Lauflicht" ?

[tomabeman]

Der Siggi war bei der letzten Session im UPH mit als Zuschauer dabei.

Ein kleines brauche ich nicht. Habe doch einen schönen Kasten drumrum gebaut ;-)

[tomabeman]

Ach sorry, Michael du warst ja gar nicht dabei. Beim Grillfest in der Gruga saß er mit auf unserer Decke ;-)
