Setting up a very mixer-centric setup

Lockdown case number 2.

For me, Marbles tends to be the start or core of a patch. That’s where the rhythms and melodies often originate—mostly because it’s so easy to get pleasing results, it has many sweet spots. Mimetic Sequent/Multium I tend to use unquantized and just as often for modulation as controlling a voice.

I have a lot of random and chaos modules, perhaps too many some people would say and be very wrong. I find that they’re always rewarding to simply plug into any open jack and see if it made things interesting. Just don’t forget to attenuate! :slight_smile:

Thank you for checking it out ! Yeah that’s gonna be an awesome setup. A nice poly synth in to morphagene will be bliss

All my cables are in disarray as I needed to unhook my Deluge and ship it off for repair (shipped the day before NZ announced a 4 week lockdown thinking I could get it back for quarantine music time) but this is my humble setup. Normally the Deluge is the brains of the operation.

I’m brand new here as I just got my Norns last week. Already looking around the room to see if anything can go to fund a Grid and/or Arc. Thinking that’ll be a while.

My work (I work remotely as an application consultant for a utilities software company) has been hectic so I haven’t had to time to record anything in at least a month. Hoping to tidy this space up this week and get something done.

how do you like your kemper?

I love it. I pretty much stick to a few nice clean tones and mess with the effects. This is the 2nd time I’ve owned one. The first time I missed some of my crazy effects, but between Kemper and ZOIA I’m set now. I recently bought a Squier Bass VI and I’m loving having Kemper for bass as well. Set up a few presets that nail the Tame Impala bass sound the other day. I also just bought a Mission Gemini 2 stereo FRFR cab to use for the rare gigs with my band but it hasn’t seen much use yet. I brought it to our drummer’s house for a practice last month, left it there, and then got a shelter in place order. Figures.

Every day’s its looking more and more like I should just give in and build a 48x48 matrix mixer

I just got the B&K 1615 bandpass filter, but unfortunately it didn’t come with the AC cable, so I can’t power it. If anyone in Europe has got one to spare, send me a message.

What would such a cable look like?

This is the back of the unit.

related story, one of my first serious jobs as a film sound FX editor was on a Peter Jackson movie (The Frighteners) & they brought Randy Thom over to supervise/mix etc… I only overlapped for a week or two with him, but sometimes he would shut his studio door… and then weird duck caller sounds would be sometimes heard… A year later we realised he had been in preprod/design for Mars Attacks!

Building dual streams? Man, I won’t lie - I’ve build loads of MI stuff and lots of Jim Matheson’s boards but for whatever I’ve attempted streams twice now and it hasn’t worked out. :frowning:

I’ve got one unit that passes signal and responds but I just can’t get the 2nd channel to behave properly - it’s just erratic and distorted, can’t get to the correct place in calibration. Give me a shout and let me know how it goes! Also, build an Ambika as well; SVF cards in mine. Which filter cards did you go for?

@jmsiener yes, this was (hopefully my last mutable build) well im doing 2 ugrids atm. Yes its a tricky one aint it? I struggled with getting the led pcb flush with the panel and pots but both units worked on the first go :slight_smile: Hoping Emilie gets back to designing modules and being so kind to making them open source!

My little boy making noise on his Casio Privia earlier today. :slight_smile:

I’m working from home full time at the moment, and today when I went downstairs for lunch my son called me over to show me his new technique. He showed me how he was using his sustain pedal to make and hold a low string sound (like a drone), then switching it to a piano, or another plucky sound and improvising little melodies over the string drone.

Super proud moment! :raised_hands:

sorry for ot, but where did you find clicky pots for DoT? Raph sent me by mistake wrong panel version and now there is a lockdown everywhere and I dont know when I recieve correct ones. You can PM me :wink:
Thanks

Have had this set up for quite a while now. Laying down rhythm tracks for a new project, mostly, plus the necessary labor of outer space exploration the gear requires.
