Mondo Modular Episode 2

Yet another bold journey into an audio world where many have tread before and even fewer haven't... (wait a minute -- this doesn't make any sense?!?)

Anyway, just me again getting some cool sounds out of my truly amazing modular sound generating system.

Please bear with me and in an episode or two I'll post some video of electronic music giants like Herb Deutsch, Gershon Kingsley and Bernie Kraus that I've shot over the years.

See the rewards that lie ahead for making it through these punishing viewings? Who sez I'm not a pussycat sweetheart?

Good move selling your other gear to get this AS stuff; modular stuff is so flexible, constantly surprising and inspiring that I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to the old way of making sounds (ie: a closed system where all the signal path decisions were made by someone else).

I need some more nasty filters for the reason you describe; beautiful sounding noise. You should post samples of your system here as I haven't heard much AS stuff but the modules look nice.

Thanks for watching and the compliments, folks!

I gave a lot of thought as to what equipment to get, so I appreciate the comment (thanks). At some point I should do a list of all the modules. The Dotcom stuff is great, of course, but I have to add that the Modcan modules are really mind-blowing. I had no idea how amazing control voltage was before...!

I have everything going into a Belkin TuneStudio, which a 4 track mixer that lets me record onto my iPod. Cheap but nice unit (well-built).

Hey Scooter!!! Cool patches here, I'd like to see some of this stuff with some Plan B in it! :D

wow, looks like you have one of the new angled cabs from Bruce and Modcan...nice stuff...

These are nice videos. I've gone the same way as you, selling some keyboards to get a moderately big Analogue Systems modular (kind of apes the ARP2600 structure with some extra stuff added in). I found it very hard to overcome the "Minimoog" style of making sounds, I would always create simple vco-filter-vca sounds. The CV is a wonderful complex thing. My comb filter is my fave, it doesn't just phase, but distort and make nasty feedback sounds at high resonance :-)

Love your rig, and the sounds are alot of fun. What kind of mixer are you using to route your synths together?

[scarymcclary]

Awesome stuff. I'd like to add some modcan to my dotcom sometime.
