The Absolute Minimum Viable Creative Setup Thread

Curious if you got any specific cable to connect to the shield and battery. I’ve heard that it has to be up to a certain AWG, and 5.1v rather than standard usb 5v but I wonder if that’s actually the case. Be glad to know your experience bc I’m a little afraid of damaging my shield doing this the wrong way

I’m using a USB A to C cable that I know works for quick charging on my phone, but honestly did not check wire gauge or voltage output specs on the battery. I definitely should have checked more carefully but it seemed to work so I didn’t question it

I have started with just plain PC and Jeskola Buzz tracker software. Great fun!

Cut my teeth with Buzz back then… have fun!

The Zephod Void instruments were always great. And the Peer… controllers added so much for more advanced / generative stuff.

I miss Buzz ! My first album was done entrely with it. I also miss Audiomulcj

Recorded seventeen pieces with this setup over the last ten days. Listening back, I deem four of them viable for future release. Lovely setup. Will do this more often.

Would like to hear some examples if you are happy to share

Voltmeister · 2022-07-27T21:47:59.846Z

Thanks for the request. Sorry, I plan to keep them in the vault to feature on a future release.

After all, you are the Vaultmaster.

It was back in early 2000s when I was using solely Buzz…great piece of software, but bit unstable at times! I loved it’s modular approach to constructing your own virtual studio…I wish there was mac version

I got some rechargeable batteries so it’s a bit more minimal without the power packs.

I’ve been spending a week here and brought my most minimal setup. It works okay!

When I read the title of this thread I wanted to share this picture of my Fyral.

What you see on the PP website is the newest version. Mine is the one before. I prefer the version with colors, it gives a little psychedelic effect ^^

Yeah it looks beautiful! Almost bought myself a Ciat Lonbarde when I visited Lisbon this summer. But (luckily for my wallet) it was not in stock in Patch Point Portugal. Got myself a very nice Bugbrand delay though

Looks like a lot of fun
