I wish I was more educated on electronics to one day be able to build something like this. Or at least gather up the cash to nab up something like a Moog Modular 55.

why build a modular synth?  why not just make music.

k - had to say it.  seriously though - very nice.


Prints? I am confused

Why NOT build a modular synth? It allows me to be as musically creative as i want. No limitations!
it allows me to use my nerd powers for a greater good... Making music! That's what it's all about.

Also. just curious as to whats all there. it sounds sweet. I am hearing noise + filters + sequencing of some kind + echo, whats all going on with that? sync-able i would assume. What kinda noise generator did you make for this beast?  you know. general stuff like that.


The noise source is a Harvestman Zorlon Cannon. it has 8 different digital noise sources switchable between 4 toggles.
The Filter is a TipTopAudio Z2040 filter. It's based around the prophet filters. I was using an Intellijel uStep (2 channel 8 step sequencer) to sequence the noise track and the "bass/kick" track.

The A-147 cvLFO was simply providing a clock source for the sequencer.

I then used the TipTopAudio Z8000 4x4 matrix sequencer to sequence cv sources for my dual VCA's. there r 2 CV inputs on the VCA's which were being controlled via my ADSR's which were receiving the gate signals from the uStep 2 channel Sequencer.
The z8000 allows me to have quite a few different 4 step sequences for CV and so it was controlling the Frequence input on the filter, the Frequency on the Noise source, and also on the 2nd CV inputs on the VCA's which is where you were hearing the "echo" effect. those were programmed echo's and not actually a delay/echo unit. Kinda fun wink

I think thats about it.. Let me be clear. i didn't "build" the modules. i simply built the Case/Rack that they're mounted in. I designed the Distribution boards and the power supply boards as well. So i needed to test out the new designs.

i dont have excuses.. I'm working on new material.. yes.. 8-bit
and i have plans for an east coast tour in the spring. If i can afford it... i'll take a flight out to the west coast for a 1 or 2 city stop.. either LA or San Fran. or perhaps head north to visit my boys up in seattle/portland area smile  But we'll see. that's some serious cash ya know! Gotta make sure i can sell enough albums, t-'s and get artist fee's taken care of. Just hard to get a $100-200 guarantee's these days ya know?

But i think the new material should get people interested enough. we'll see.

But for realz whats the stats on the modular?

MODULAR SYNTHESIS FTW!!!!! pimp shit low-gain. p.s. chilling with l-tron in cali. When you coming out?

i guess when ever a round trip ticket is paid for.. lol
the modular stuff has tapped me out.
