How, if at all, are you interfacing the eurorack with the MS20? This lil stackable idea appeals to me…

#353

so far mostly either running modular stuff through the filters or adding modulation capabilities to the MS-20. And of course Clouds. As you can maybe infer from the picture I’m only barely this side of having a complete “synth voice” in the modular, so I’m also supplementing missing functions there. The mismatch in standards is a pain, but with a little massaging they play decently together. I wish I could use the keyboard to play the modular oscillators, but such is life ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I would like to get to a point where they can act a little more independently if I want, and we’re slooowly getting to that point.

#354

Have you thought about using the English Tear to get the two of them to play nicely? Have heard it’s a breeze once you have it.

#355

:open_mouth: I actually had never heard of it, but it does seem perfect. For this case I would have to want it more than a Cold Mac, and I probably would prefer the Cold Mac… hmmmm, something to think about for sure.

#356

pretty sure there’s a disting mode that converts the v/o between them nicely, just fyi

#357

I did know that, yeah! Disting seems… powerful but not like something that I want in my instrument.

Work in progress, waiting for @randy to finish the Soundplane cv module :wink:

This crappy kareoke casset deck has a echo built in. Sound is very lofi.

Still waiting for E370, but my KS# is nearly at hand. In the meantime, new friends have arrived, including ADDAC 213A and Doepfer A-180-9, which greatly reduce 3D cabling.

I was really lucky to live in Perth, Western Australia where NLC is based and Andrew hosts a monthly meetup where we DIY his modules.

Will hopefully get this VCA matrix when I can afford it!

Any pointers to make more drone-y/softer/less aggressive noise from this?

Been looking for the Nord Modular G2 for months :disappointed_relieved: Hope i’ll find one soon enough.

Maybe filtering? I’ve been using the 3 Sisters formant mode to carve out specific frequencies in very noisy sounds from a rungler. This is the kind of sound I’ve been going for:

Oh man, are you implementing Gibberwocky in MAX through your ES8 to control the modular? It’s always been on my list to investigate…

I’m at the hospital with my mom so I can’t turn it up, but I’m excited to listen when I get home.

#367

This video is excellent. What are the Tape Speed parameters controlling? Max samplers? ER-301? w/?

@sellanraa, I hope she’s okay!
As a side note, you can skip Max and use Gibberwocky to hit something like Hermod, Shuttle Control, Yarns, etc. directly using WebMIDI: http://gibberwocky.cc/midi/
(But yes, Max would be the way to go for generating envelopes, CVs, and whatnot)

@Taubaland, the NLC systems are not known for subtlety :laughing:
That being said, Feague and Sloths will be your best bets. Filter the dual oscs (or Bong0 sequenced with, say, 8-bit Cipher) using Fk1t and modulate the various parameters. Feague will give you quadrature modulation so that the parameters move at the same rates in different directions. Sloths will give you very subtle modulations that are perfect for drones. DelayNoMore is excellent for adding some grit to a track. I ran an extremely basic LPG percussion pattern through one to make this track: https://soundcloud.com/the-february-thaw/resolutions

Thanks!

@sellanraa - It is indeed. Admittedly not using Gibberwocky in any complex way, but it was a fun way of working.

@trickyflemming - It’s just a set of groove~s using slide~ to mimic the wind up and down of the tape. I wrote a bit more about it in the Gibberwocky thread:

Trying out a reduced 3U rack centered around Marbles. Liberating to remove some options…

A few swaps since my last update. I mostly keep posting these pictures to see what’s changing over time and if there’s any thought behind these small changes. I keep forgetting about it; what I’ve changed and why I did.
Well, this update was a rather good one I think.
New additions: Maths, Disting and that huge Eowave filter with the tricky name. I use to have them all, but earlier versions (if Eowave Magnétosphère counts?).
I nearly sold my JF to fund something else but he backed out. Glad he did…

That … is an amazing case. Could you share who made it? It looks like 168HP wide!
