Wow this is great - is this sequence from MIDI or is the AS Sequencer ? Also how many oscillators are you using here ?

I like the drum sounds you are getting here.

[SQRSAW]

Thanks! It's AS rs200 sequencer, and three oscillators.

Which module's coming in around at :45? It sounds kinda like the RS-120 comb filter. I think I see the sampler/delay in your rack... I want one... :)

Nice patch!

[SQRSAW]

It's rs310 Reverb/Chorus. >0:45

This is a wonderful module.

[synth64]

fantastic!!

[SQRSAW]

Thank you for your comment!

[Shumooshi]

so, can anyone direct me to something to explain how this works with all the cables and stuff?

[hubbinzki]

Thats quite a bit of money you are tinkering with. I wish I had the funds to get some more modules for my set up.

[darkdominance911]

Nice!

[amphilex]

pretty cool, looks like the london underground map

[TheTaylorMan32]

@Shumooshi Man, the cables direct what sound is doing what, and probably sending certain tones to certain effects and such.

[ZElTGElST]

Dear SQRSAW, thats incredibly organical analogic taste. Even with a quite simple notes sequence, it never get boring, but fascinating with the evolution of the sound.

Simply awe!

@eyrewalk Sorry about that, I got a bit carried away. Yeah, Jonny got me into modular synths as well (Radiohead are my favourite band). I have only just started learning about modular synths so if I am at all inaccurate, someone please correct me.

[eyrewalk]

@eyrewalk Eventually, more portable, integrated synthesizers were created for easy accessibility in a live situation. In modern, portable synthesizers, many virtual patches are stored in the synth's memory to bypass the time and effort that it takes to create a patch. However, modular synths give the player much more control and freedom than any other types of synthesizers available and are often favoured by the discerning synthist.

[eyrewalk]

@eyrewalk These are like different guitar pedals on a pedalboard. Sometimes, other modules such as sequencer modules are added to the signal chain to organise these sounds into sequences so a keyboard is not needed to control it. In modular synths, every patch must be connected manually. Modular synths were the first ever synths and were generally considered "impractical, giant, temperamental monsters" as far as live performance was concerned.

[eyrewalk]

@mikeylikesit100 It is a modular synthesizer. It is a type of synthesizer in which everything is "manual". As I play guitar, I like to imagine a modular synth like a pedalboard. The oscillator module(s) is(are) like the guitar, it generates the original signal. The oscillator is often controlled by a keyboard (not used in this video) The oscillator is then connected to other "modules" with patch cables (hence why each "sound" is called a patch) which basically change the sound.

Sorry to be so ignorant but could someone please explain to me exactly what this instrument is and what it does? I always see Jonny Greenwood using it so I was curious how it works.
