Yeah - I picked up a few random things that don’t have distro in America like Late Monoliths. I’m happy he’s enjoying Australia, but shipping is absurd. Also picked up that Tokyo release :slight_smile:

A realization I had while reading this: I shuffle things in and out of my 7U 104HP case to make the music I want to make, often mid-patch, currently having almost double the HP in modules as I do in space. But that means, in theory, if I had a case twice as large, everything I’ve ever patched would have worked in it!

Of course, I can only imagine that if I got to patching a system of that size, I’d find I’d want to grow again. So I think working within space limitations just forces you to play and find what works for you, and maybe it’s possible to find a balance that you’ll settle on and I think it’ll be totally different for everyone. For me, sometimes I want to build a piece with one sound source and six effects, other times I have these complex interweaving percussion voices and need to dedicate a quarter of my case to mixing. Unless a day comes when I can forget about space concerns altogether, I think I’ll always be shuffling.

Keith is interesting because his case is always dedicated to specific pieces of music, with specific titles etc…, rather than general sets of functions

Yeah, I just really want to have one setup. It might be nice to have more, but it’s not going to happen because I’d go insane thinking about different setups and I just don’t have the money for that anyway. I’ve been very set on the idea of one case. Period. I have 8 hp I can slide one module in and out with others, but otherwise, I’m not interested in that game. The shuffling can get exhausting and I lose productivity. So while I’m lost in this, cool, but once I settle on something in the next week, I’m sticking with it.

Again, different people have different approaches, which is totally cool, this is just what works for me.

yes indeed, its an interesting video because hes applying very specific modular techniques and knows exactly what hes going for. Hes been playing iterations of that patch on/off for the best part of 8 years. Its pretty much based around driving an ASR in interesting ways. He started that patch with doepfer / plan b modules and changed the modules over the years as they got more advanced - like switching the Plan B ASR for a Quantimator, changing to a uLFO and PEG, and switching the Oscillators from mk1 Dixies to STO’s but still did the same patch, just adding and tweaking it.

Heres the original Generators patch from 7 years ago.

The Occlusions album setup is here, its more Harvestman Zorlon Cannon / Double Andore driven :
