my main problem with the $5,000 eurorack setups is never have i once ever seen a video or heard a song where anybody is doing anything but making random arpeggiated doodles and beep boops with no rhythm or backing tracks. i'm sure its fun to twiddle the knobs but its just a more expensive update of the old 'circuit bent' aesthetic.

I guess if you search YouTube for eurorack you will get a lot of beep boop doodling but thats because making music solely with a modular is quite challenging, but there's plenty of people like lightbath, Alan Dear, Emily Sprague, r beny and even Richard Devine who put out vids that sound like regular music. It's just another instrument though, really. An absolute ton of electronic music uses modular in some capacity, I guess if it's *not* random arpeggiated doodles and beep boops then you just didn't recognise it as modular? Like, I'm going through all the more mainstream electronic artists I like and trying to think of one who doesn't use some sort of modular rig and mostly failing.

some people seem to think that idea of input setup -> auto song is the purpose of them like I remember reading somewhere maybe even in this thread that they didn't see the point of getting one and just trying to make it into a unique synthesiser I have a suspicion that filters and gain are something that really benefit from discrete circuitry. oscillators not so much. but then again I know gently caress all. one thing I am working out about myself is how much more inspirational my bass station II is compared to say arturia pigments which by all means is a far more capable soft synth. but I think it's the physical nature of the machine. definitely need some knobs to twist something that had infinite endless knobs with also oled labels etc would be the poo poo. the hydrasynth looks a lot like that but is a real synth  this looks ok. you can get a 4 octave one too but not a 3 octave perfect size one

echinopsis posted:some people seem to think that idea of input setup -> auto song is the purpose of them Unless you're incredibly talented or wealthy, building whole pieces of music that aren't either quite minimal or clearly beep-boop noodling is very difficult. I'm not talented or wealthy so the main use for mine is jamming and stumbling across neat sounds or loops that I sample and use to build a proper track in Logic.

by the way you can run your own modular in the computer and it's free too https://vcvrack.com/ i have had lots of fun with it and it hooks up nicely into DAWs using the VST bridge plugins it comes with

Jonny 290 posted:so does like aaaaaaanybody still use reason I just bought the upgrade to version 11. The new synths and effects are very good. You can now use VST’s in it. There’s a ‘player’ similar to Logic’s Drummer that will crank out beats for you. The mix console compressor and EQ can now be used in the rack. Finally, the rack, or lots of racks, can be plugins in your other DAW, as instruments and effects. It’s dope, especially if you have an old version to upgrade for $129.

aphex twin made some kind of update for it. it originally came out in 2013 and it got a firmware update last year aphex twin creates some mode where you can set unique patch settings for each key, it’s a loving awesome machine but I yearn for poly, thankfully can get that thru the pc

here's something i've been working on. i hosed up the third verse while streaming but thats ok, i can fix it in editing https://www.twitch.tv/videos/585570136 my goal is to get the midi data recorded and then start finding the actual synths I want. I'm not thrilled with the lead synth, it's just a stand-in, but I do know the key and melody that I want at it's core so I figure I get that down and then start swapping in software synths and changing settings until I find something permanent

this week and last i have started to play around with drums. i got a yamaha dtx12m pad thing a while back but now it is flashed with new firmware and i also got some proper kits on it thanks to yamaha offering them free for download https://soundcloud.com/trent-hawkins/fri-24-apr i am happy with the overall sound but the "solo" could be better and some things bug me with the mix but it's a record as I have never made such a short track

anyone use OpenMPT? I used Modplug Tracker way back in the day when I was more serious about music. It has VST plugin support so I guess I have a frontend for Munt and Dexed now I wish I'd stuck with making music longer. I am having a much harder time getting back into it than I'd like
