SergeAndModcanJam.m4v

Live noodling on the Serge Modular, Modcan/Cyndustries Modular synthesizers.
Lead is 1 VCO through Serge Bandpass filter controlled by the touch plate (TKB) with filter, vibrato, and release triggering set up Other analog sequencers (including a Milton) control basslines, other melodies, and percussion. All of this is done live on these monster analog modular synths, no overdubs. 28 VCOs in this patch. I used enough banana cables to choke a horse. The room got very warm.

@ManorRecords Thanks! It's an honor hearing from a band member of Node! I've enjoyed your videos on Muff's.

Very nice jam. I love the sound of the Serge filters, and what your doing with the TKB is very dynamic. Hats off!

@Yuwipiman Thanks!

badass. sounds like the piece is in 15/8.

Is it just me or does the modcan gear sound incredible? Not having had the chance to get my hands on it for myself, I can only go by demos etc but they seem to have an extra quality compared to other equip. I bought a doepfer system but always wondered if Modcan had better tone.. any thoughts on this? AA

[droomusic2010]

@AlexAlcyone --Yes--it's in 15--hard to see in the patch, it loops back on the Milton Sequencer. Thanks for the kind words!

Yes, both Modcan and Serge sound like high end gear, and they are truly fun to mess around with. I have a couple of Doepfer A100 systems, and while they are a lot of bang for the buck and fairly well thought out, they aren't quite in the same league for sound quality. I prefer the larger format stuff anyway--it's easier to see what's going on.

Finally a good Serge video. All the other ones might sound good if they didn't use web cam microphones! What are they thinking!? Thanks for sharing your music. It's a pro production through and through.

ah this is epic!

Easily one of the best modular videos I've seen. Great creativity being mixed with great gear can only lead to one result... good stuff. Nice song man! And great to see modulars being used like this. I'm getting ready to start my first modular system and have been wondering if I should go with Macbeth or Modcan. Thanks to videos like this I think I'm leaning Modcan. Thanks for the video!
